This should be some fun. Everyone has gotten a chance to read articles by the IU staff, but could you pick their writing out of a lineup?
Below, you will see lines excerpted from the books of five Indies Unlimited authors. Can you tell which author wrote which line? Bonus points if you also know the book from which the line comes!
Below and to the left are pictures of the IU authors and next to each, a line from a book. The authors are not next to the lines from their own books. Or are they? See if you can mix and match the author with the line. Put your guesses in the comment section below (1. author name, 2. author name, etc.). The winner gets bragging rights.
Answers will be posted at 2 PM Pacific Time on Sunday, April 15. Good luck!

Darn – I could get all these right… but I'd be accused of having insider knowledge!!!
Well now THAT is a five-star dodge if ever I saw one. LOL! 😛
Brooks/Mader = #3
Uh-ba-dee-uh-ba-dah-uh-ba -that's all folks. (hides head in shame)
I'm sorry Yvonne, but Brooks divided by Mader does not equal 3. Good try though. Thanks for playing.
LOL. That's the funniest thing I've read all day Hise.
Yes, it really is. But is it? Really? I thought my Snookie comment was WAY up there, Mader!!!! 😉
Yeah, that was good.
I was told there would be no math.
Sob, sniff – but one is missing. Now what do I do? Math ain't my forte. How about Brooks + Mader + Hise = 3 (But Hise is indivisible so he gets taken away afterward.) lol It's called creative accounting.
I can't vote cause I know the answers. 🙁
1. Valerie – it's gotta be the steamiest one
2. McNally – it's gotta be the silliest one
the others I'm guessing…
3. Brooks
4. Boris
5. Mader
score = zilch!
I believe #3 is Kramer, since he's in the photo at the top.
1. JD Mader – “The Biker”
2. K.S. Brooks – It’s not Mr. Pish, so I’m going to guess “Night Undone”.
3. M. Edward McNall – one of Eddie’s Shorts
4. Laurie Boris – “The Joke’s on Me”
5. Valerie Douglas – “The Coming Storm”
