Happy St. Patrick’s Day! We’ve been scavenger hunting for a week now! A few more days and the hunt will be over.
Today’s challenge is easy. Take a picture of a shamrock, but it has to be a purple shamrock. I don’t care how you get it to be purple, but it needs to be purple.
Why? Because in Beware the Hawk there’s a scene in which my protagonist meets a cute Irish guy in a bar called The Purple Shamrock. It’s too perfect. You’d think I’d planned this scavenger hunt for this week when I was writing the book a decade ago.
Tweet your shamrocks to me (@ann_oconnell) with the hashtag #bewarethehawk. Or post it to my author page on Facebook. If you have an iPhone, you may also use Instagram and post your photo with the #bewarethehawk hashtag.
Moving on, I should have known better than to send you folks to Craigslist yesterday to search for questionable ads, because the submissions I received are definitely NSFW.*
Luckily it’s Saturday, so go ahead and feast your eyes on the entry submitted by Mary-Jo Bates. The poster of this ad wants to tell you how to get to Skankville. That’s all I’ve got right now. Alena Dillon’s submission was so spicy that it got pulled off the Internet by Craig and his Craigslist elves before I was able to post it.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day. I look forward to lots of purple shamrocks.
*That’s “Not Safe For Work,” folks.
Boo, that ad was removed too 🙁
Screenshots – you need to get screenshots.
You’re right. I should have taken screenshots and linked to them or something. I don’t think I would have been comfortable with them on the main page of my blog, though.
I wouldn’t want them on my main page, either – if they were so bad that they were flagged! LOL
