Good Adventures,

This week we're playing in the Roll-A-Prompt series again. This time, I'm joined by my co-author Lisa and our friend Kristina. I picked a random set of elements from the Genre Mashup Edition, we cut to write (so you don't have to be bored while no one is talking) then come back and read. It was lots of fun. If you'd like to play along, the prompt is below. Grab some dice, roll for your elements, and write. Want to share? Comment on our YouTube channel. 

The prompt we use today is from our Roll-A-Prompt Writing Journal Genre Mashup Edition

Character

Roll 1 number 

Even = MC is alone

Odd = Roll again for a companion 

1. Stand-up comedian

IF the MC is alone, add an object

Roll 1 Number

1. Roll of pennies

Scenario

Roll 1 number 

1. Getting fit for a spacesuit

Now write and have fun! If you want to share. Comment here. 

See you next time. Good a good book.

Good Adventures,

This week I'm reading from my new book, How to Square Your Grouper.

Gifts from strangers are never good. Especially when they're big bundles of drugs.

June Nash is back. In Key West on vacation. And not at all hiding out from her famous brother's crazy fans, The Dewzers. It's been a tough couple of months and she just wants a little peace and quiet. But life doesn't work that way in June's world. Drug runners have mistaken her for their contact and she ends up with a sailboat full of Square Groupers. Which the Coast Guard immediately takes off her hands. So she's in the clear, right? Not even a little. Now she's dodging bullets from rival drug runners as she tries to escape her mom's attempt to bond and Morgan's obsessive need to figure out why someone from their past has followed her to Key West. How do you go from sipping rum one minute to running for your life the next? With June, it's just another Tuesday.
