My new book, The Siege
of Kwennjurat, is scheduled for release three days from now, and I feel
like celebrating. For the next three days, I am giving away one signed book
each day. Here’s how to enter:
Making a comment on the blog gets you one entry. If you’re a
blog follower, say so for a second entry. Tweeting and sharing to Facebook or
Google+ are worth one entry each (post a link to where you shared in your
comment). First thing tomorrow morning, I will put all the entries in a hat and
draw a winner. I’ll announce the winner, and then they can email me their real
name and address, and their signed book will be on the way!
Today I’m giving away the romantic suspense Inherit My Heart. In this book, strange
things start happening in Katrina’s life shortly after a lawyer appears
uninvited on her doorstep. In today’s comments, tell me your best (or worst)
lawyer story. See you tomorrow with a new giveaway and the announcement of
today’s winner.
A lawyer is our local Scout Master and very good friend of mine HOWEVER he tends to put the kaput on a lot of our fun and games ...... :)I tend to hear HOLLY !!! a lot .... *giggle* I really am not a trouble maker !
ReplyDeleteOh, SURE you're not a trouble-maker. You forget that I know you. *giggling with you* I can imagine what sorts of interesting things he kaputs on, anything involving tiny helpless cub scouts and your creek come to mind... ;-)
Deleteyears ago I needed a lawyer for a personal situation and after I got to the lawyers office realized I went to high school with him! I also have been following your blog. I posted the link to www.facebook.com/dani.marie.359
ReplyDeleteCool story. I have a similar incident...I went for one year to the high school my mom graduated from, then a second one in the same city. We then moved and some of my test scores got scrambled as they transferred them from one state to another. When I asserted that a competency score I needed in order to graduate had been scrambled by school #1, and that I really didn't need to re-take a basic math class, the school councilor from school #3 slammed his hand down on the table and roared that school #1 didn't make mistakes like that. It turns out that not only was he a graduate from there, but a classmate of my mother's. Things were shortly arranged for me to retake the test, and I got a better grade than I had the first time - and (most important to me) got out of the math class!
Deleteglad it all worked out... especially getting out of math class!
DeleteI've been thinking all day about a lawyer story, but I've realized that I've never dealt with a lawyer before. So the best I could come up with was finding this joke for you.
ReplyDeleteA farmhand consulted a lawyer. He had long tended the late farmer's cows, and believed they would his when the farmer died. Now the farmer's son claimed ownership.
"I'll take your case," said the lawyer, "Don't worry about the cows."
The next day the farmer's son came in. The cows were raised on his land, he said, they should be his.
"I'll take your case," said the lawyer, "Don't worry about the cows."
Later, his secretary asked, "How can the cows belong to both?"
"Don't worry about the cows," the lawyer said. "The cows will be ours."
I love this joke! I thought I'd been abandoned today, and instead, you were thinking of me all day long. I'm touched!
DeleteGlad you liked it. :)
