Fitting Together The Pieces #OpenBook Blog Hop

Jan 22, 2024

We had great fun with this one a long time ago. Create a jigsaw puzzle for your readers using one of your covers or perhaps some scenery that represents one of your books. Here’s a link to one site that you can use. https://www.jigsawexplorer.com/create-a-custom-jigsaw-puzzle/

In a way, writing is the same as putting together a jigsaw puzzle, even if the book isn’t a mystery.

The author has to fit together people, places, and events to meld everything into a story that (hopefully) readers will want to read all the way through to discover the picture that has been created.

My cover artist does a great job, and I couldn’t decide which of her 11 covers to use, so I went a different route. A new story in the Free Wolves series has been rustling around in my head, so I went a different route. The picture I chose pays tribute to Wolves’ Gambit, which is set in Wyoming. I can see Lori and her friends sitting around this tree in wolf form and howling at the full moon.

The picture is mine. The puzzle is thanks to Jigsaw Explorer. I’ve found a new obsession-online jigsaw puzzles. They don’t take up any room on my dining room table! Granted, I don’t think I could do one on a phone, so I will stick to my laptop and large screen monitor.

This tree sits along a summer-only dirt road — I wouldn’t drive most cars there, even when the weather has been good for a few weeks — between Cheyenne and Laramie. It sits in the middle of nowhere on private land. (Luckily, I drive a Jeep.) But who knows what other creatures have sought the limited shelter the tree offers?

Here’s a link to the puzzle.

I hope you have fun putting the pieces together.
