Welcome
to
First
Line Friday!
Here's how it works:
We'll post the first lines from three books, some written by us, some by author friends.
Then you will all be asked to vote for your favorite, without knowing who wrote it or what book it comes from-- until Saturday!
On Saturday, the lines along with their book cover, blurb and author will be listed so you can check them out!
ALL voters, no matter who you choose or which line wins, will be entered into a drawing for a $10 Amazon gift certificate.
Easy and fun, for all of us! We hope you'll play along!
And now, here's First Line Friday!
The lines:
1. “What are you going to do, fire me?”
2. It
was the kind of day that poets never write about.
3. His nuts were going to freeze.
Okay... make your choice! List
your favorite by number or by quoting the line in the comments! All votes
up until midnight will be counted. And don't forget to check back
tomorrow to see who wrote which line and how to check out the rest of the
books!
