Mind Games

Brain Teaser

by Rich McCoy



Greetings! A few of you might remember me from my days at Chainmail while still other used to follow my stories in The Gamer's Connection. The last two years have kept me busy with my own game company and projects, but I decided to set aside a few moments to provide a little thought teaser for this new publication. I remember the editor from my days at the old DU and he has my immense sympathy for still being trapped in the world of the Beltway (that's Washington, D.C. for those in more civilized regions) from which I managed to escape! Ill send good thoughts!

In the meantime, here is a lime "mind game" for everyone. Below are the titles of various fantasy and science fiction books spanning more than 25 years of writing....but the titles are all scrambled! In the second column are the names of the authors...but with the last names intermixed. Your challenge? Unmix the last names of the authors and unrnix the book titles. Then match the correct authors to their books! Sounds simple? On a few, yes, but I deliberately chose a few obscure titles from "big name" authors. Hey, what's life without a lime challenge? Forget about exercising the body...exercise that brain!
