Back when I was a kid there was a really cool activity in
the paper where they asked you to spot the differences. Two seemingly identical
pictures sat next to each other and it was the viewer’s job to figure out the
subtle differences. It’s a fun challenge to test your powers of observation.
These days you can take part in this challenge online, through
Apps, or maybe even still in some newspapers across the country.
In my paper you could circle the variations and send it in
to win a prize before the next one was published the following week.
Did someone say, “win
a prize”?!
But I hate winning things…
Said no one ever.
And I’m in the mood to give stuff away. Plus have a little
throwback fun. Let’s do a spot the difference photo challenge right here on the
blog!
The following is the original and a modified version of a
few mountains that I snapped on a recent trip to Bartlett Lake area doing research
for my next book. So pretty right?

Abandon!

Here’s a little teaser about the book:
In Reckless Abandon
Young Adult fiction Author, Shaw McLeary, returns from grocery shopping to
discover her husband, Danny, is missing. So is their stash of cash but little
else. She knows he took off fast. When the guys chasing him show up at her
front door, Shaw flees to the only person she can trust to help - JJ Anderson. Private
investigator, and her ex-fiancé.
A retired Phoenix cop turned P.I., JJ grudgingly agrees to take
the case and help find Danny. They chase the clues from Phoenix to
Manhattan to upstate New York. In such close quarters Shaw is confronted with
her past head on. And she isn’t sure which one she wants to face less – the bad
guys with guns right on their tail or her long dormant feelings for JJ.
