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\/<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a way, writing is the same as putting together a jigsaw puzzle, even if the book isn’t a mystery.<\/h4>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

This tree sits along a summer-only dirt road \u2014 I wouldn’t drive most cars there, even when the weather has been good for a few weeks \u2014 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?<\/p>\n

Here’s a link to the puzzle.<\/h4>\n

I hope you have fun putting the pieces together.<\/p>\n

As always, please stay safe until the next time.<\/p>\n
