“Play While the Author’s Away” Contest!!

For those of you interested, I’ll be roving reporting from the RWA National Conference for Romancing the Blog (along with a few other authors and agents).
So here on my blog we’ll have a party!! :twisted: :cheer: :dance: :party: :beer: :yay: (Who says you can’t have fun if you’re not going to Reno?)

I have to come back ready to work on my second ST for Brava (my third Brava, for those of you counting :wink: ) I’ve started it, just a teeny bit, but I’ll have to launch full-bore into it when I get back. So I’d like you to help me get prepared. :grin: I need some ideas for scenes I have to write. It’s a Regency-set historical featuring protagonists you’ll meet in Bad Boys Ahoy!

The Questions:

  • 1.) Male secondary character names.
  • 2.) Female secondary character names.
  • 3.) weapons
  • 4.) locations
  • (for three and four think Clue, i.e. ‘in the study with a candlestick’)

  • 5.) and just for fun – your favorite sexual euphemisms (get as silly as you want! This should be fun!!)
  • The Rules:

    I’m going to write down several numbers before I leave. Comments that fall on one of those numbers will win. (so spread your answers out some. There’s no limit, so you can use several comments if you like, or hundreds. :lol: ) There will also be an Honorable Mention prize for best euphemism. :cheer: Contest runs July 24-31. This is for readers, reviewers, writers, anyone!!

    The Prizes:

    The prizes will be goodies from the conference and items from my Cafe Press shop. We’re talking author pens, keychains, autographed books, bookmarks, magnets, postcards, etc. etc. The winners will receive a bag of fun stuff, not just one or two items. Any suggestions used in the book will be acknowledged in my Author’s Note along with the name of the suggester!!

    (P.S. If your comment doesn’t show up right away, don’t worry. If you haven’t posted here before you’ll end up stored in moderation. I’ll approve you when I check my mail at night!)

    Have fun!! I’ll miss you. :kiss: And if you’re feeling generous, could you spread the love by voting for my TRS Feature this month. I’m feeling lonely over there.

      lead poisoning esp if you want to kill a child

      Large amounts of lead in a child’s blood can cause brain damage, mental retardation, behavior problems, anemia, liver and kidney damage, hearing loss, hyperactivity, developmental delays, other physical and mental problems, and in extreme cases, death.

      could grind it up and blow a powder into the bedroom every night

      :idea:
      another dining room

      Poison Hemlock All parts Fatal. Resembles a large wild carrot.

      cooked like a carrot? or raw “carrot” with dip?

    5. tracee says:

      dining room

      dunno if this would work….
      bleeding heart has been fatal in cattle
      If you fed someone a steak from a poisoned cow….

    6. tracee says:

      3&4
      tea/sitting room
      drinking oleandar leaves in a tea

    7. tracee says:

      :!:

      hyacinth, daffodil or narcissus bulbs may be fatal – perhaps slice and sautee them so they look like onions?
