Welcome to day five of our Bookmas Giveaway contest. For those who missed the rules, hop back over to the November 30 post and give a quick read.
And of course, before we start today’s contest, we need to announce yesterday’s winner. Yesterday’s question was: Which two companies did Lauren intern for?
And the answer is Simon & Schuster and BookEnds.
Congratulations to Alison. Please email your contact information to blog@bookends-inc.com and we’ll get your prize out immediately.
Now on to our contest . . .
When I first started working at Harlequin, I was the editorial assistant for Harlequin Historical and Steeple Hill Love Inspired. One of my primary duties (and one of my favorite parts of the job) was going through the slush pile, which was always plentiful because it had submissions directed to me and all the submissions directed to Tracy Farrell, my boss. I love reading submissions. I love going through them, hunting for gems, and discovering new voices. While at Harlequin, I acquired a number of new authors for various lines and imprints, but the first manuscripts I found for each of my home lines will always have a special place in my memory.
This is a two-part question: What was the first book I found for Harlequin Historical? And what was the first book I found for Love Inspired?

My guess is:
1) Shades of Grey by Clea Simon
and
2) Hope Street by Judith Arnold
Shades of Gray by Wendy Douglas
&
A Certain Hope by Lenora Worth
I meant A Certain Hope and a Perfect Love by Lenora Worht
Lenora Worth
The second is Finding Hope by Brenda Coulter. The first is Shades of Gray by Wendy Douglas.
I also have to say it took forever for me to figure out Peter P. wasn't Peter Parker. :P
Kaitlyne, cool. I'm glad Peter P was a bit confusing. I love to write clues that don't give it away "right away."

It was a great clue. I think I went through every single website today before I got the Wendy Douglas one. I thought the clues this time were delightfully difficult.
We try, Kaitlyne. My biggest challenge has been writing clues that can't be answered through a quick Google check. It's not easy!

Oops! Not even close :) Guess I should read ALL of the clues!
