Hey Verbotomists, I am running a little contest next week starring my favorite author, Jasper Fforde. He is a fabulous writer with an extremely fertile imagination. He loves playing with words, so he is perfect for us! We will giving a away copy of his first Thursday Next Book, The Eyre Affair, to the top player next week. So get ready to crank up your creative brain power. It's going to be fun. ~ James
