Announcement From Bedazzled Ink
Apparently, we've had a breach... and the minions... um, elves, keep saying the devil made them do it. Coincidence? Hmmm... The e-book edition of Hell for the Holidays by K. Simpson has slipped out of Santa's Workshop before the paperback edition due out in January. Join Devlin and Cassie and their pesky demons in the "hell"arious third book of the Devil's Workshop series. Devlin Kerry and Cassandra Wolfe lead very complicated lives. They're in advertising, they're a couple, and they each have a personal demon. They decide to cap off a perfectly hellish year by spending Thanksgiving with the Wolfes and Christmas with the Kerrys. Between their crazy demons and even crazier families, Dev and Cassie are reminded that there's no place like hell, um, home for the holidays.

Announcement From The Academy Of Bards
Well, the PUNZle is over...the deadline has passed. We did get a couple of brave souls to turn in some...ummm Answers? Guesses? EVIL J and I...well, okay...mostly me...contemplated not telling y'all the answers if we didn't get any entries for the PUNZLe. And we'd retire from PUNZle-dom.
But we did. <>sigh<>
Goodbye retirement bungalow on Fiji.
Okay...the answer is: 99705
Yep. This PUNZle only required you to turn in ONE answer. Read the roools...it does actually say 'answer'---singular.
Yeah...we are EVIL, thank you. <.buffing nails.>
Oh, I know we had 15 numbered...those didn't really matter. Well, okay, the only one that did was #10. I shall explain.
1-codeword (Ten-Four) or error code (104)
2-barcode
3-binary code
4-code of chivalry
5-codex (cod ex <.giggle.>)
6-codebook or code of law
7-code of conduct
8-DaVinci Code
9-genetic code
10-Morse code (which spells out HIDDEN CONTEST-backwards)
Aw c'mon...we're EVIL...remember?
11-code of honor
12-area code (L x W)
13-tax code (tacks)
14-code of silence
15-zip code
Okay...now you know there is a hidden contest. Where oh where can it be?
Yep...the flags.
If you read the flags around the border (the only ones you can see without the other graphics in the way)...they spell out the question: WHAT IS SANTA'S ZIP CODE SEND ANSWER
Santa's zip code is 99705 ( gotta love Google)
Our winner is Claudia (wormser58@yahoo.com) who apparently, like Team FlyBigD, is learning to think like EVIL J and I. I'm not sure if that is a good thing or not. CONGRATS Claudia.
BIG BIG THANKS to EVIL J, my partner in crime and PUNishment, who makes my crazy ideas work so well. Gotta tell you though...picture 15 still makes me cringe.
The Bard Challenge is now in the voting stage...go read the stories and vote for your favorite one. AND go read the participating story as well...it won't kill ya <.bg.> but it may cause some giggles.
