Have fun with this magical MadLib
Celebrate the release of Tricks and Treats with this bonus puzzle!
I’m Nyx Halliwell, USA Today bestselling author of magical cozy mysteries. Since you’re a subscriber to my newsletter (💕 thank you so much!), you’re receiving a FREE MadLib-style puzzle I created to celebrate the release of my new book, Tricks and Treats.
✨ My VIP patrons get the puzzle, PLUS you get to read the one I filled in!
In Tricks and Treats, A Witchy Candy Shop Mystery, Book 1, Seraphina receives a prophecy from a ghost at the end of the story. I loved writing it, and I thought it would be fun for you to try your hand at writing one, too!
What is a MADLIB? MadLibs are stories with words removed and replaced by blank spaces. In this version, you fill in the blanks with adjectives, nouns, exclamations, colors, adjectives, and more.
Let your imagination run wild. Post your finished MadLib in the comments or reply to this email with it.
