I have one (1) copy of The Girl She Used To Be to give away!
(Review to come. Click Here to download the discussion guide.)
After 20 years in the Federal Witness Protection Program (WITSEC) and eight aliases, Melody Grace McCartney hardly knows who she is. On the run since she and her parents stumbled on a gruesome murder by mobster Tony Bovaro when she was six years old, Grace saw WITSEC’s promised protection fail her mother and father when they were killed 12 years later. Now she feigns personal danger to be relocated just because she’s bored and wants a change. But before her new case officer can move her from suburban Maryland to rural Wisconsin, Tony’s son, Jonathan, tracks her down to present an alternative: protection from his family and a life of more safety and freedom than she has ever known. While federal officials pressure her to stay in WITSEC and show her Jonathan’s violent side, her attraction to him grows, and she must decide a course for the rest of her life.

If I had to pick a new identity, I’d probably go with Naomi, because I really like that name, and I’d want to be a full time writer.
Good luck to all of you!
If I has to pick a new name it would be Tanith. I really like that name.. I would be one of those starving artists trying to sell my stuff while purpusing my writing career at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI like the name April because it sounds friendly but not over the top.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to change my identity...I'd probably go to Puerto Vallarta, MX, and go by the name of Margurita.

I'd like my name to be Hope. (And if I needed a new identity, I would be praying for lots of it.) I want a job that completely blends into the background. I guess what type would depend on where I relocated.
ReplyDeleteI'd probably choose Leigh Anne. It was the other name my parents had picked our for me. I always liked it. Plus, it's not so unusual that it'd stand out and attract attention.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd work in a bookstore.
Thanks! :0)
I always wanted the name Samantha growing up, but if I could be someone totally different. I'd want to be a highly paid model/actress.
ReplyDeleteThat is kind of a tough question. I've always liked the name Rebecca. I'm not sure what she does. She might be a teacher.
ReplyDeleteI think I would head to Mexico and go by the name Luisa.

I would change my name to hanna and be a food critic traveling around the world tasting and critiquing different foods.
ReplyDeleteThe name that I would choose is Emma. I just always loved that name.
ReplyDeleteI think I would work as librarian.
I'd like the name Bell or Bella I've loved that name sincer I was a kid naming my cabage patch Isabella and I'd like to be famous either a model or actress.
ReplyDeleteI'd move to the east coast and change my name to Samantha. I've always loved that name.
ReplyDeleteMy new name would be Becca and i would own my own bookstore. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMy new name would probably be Tallulah & I'd be a professional musician. I'd do weddings, funerals, graduation parties, bar mitzvahs, etc. I would probably move to Long Island & commute into Manhattan for gigs. I couldn't live in NYC -- I get claustrophobic. But I could live in the Hamptons. The govt. pays a lot of $$ when you have to go into the witness protection program, right? So a nice little shack in the Hamptons would work for me.

I would change my name to Susan Thomas which would really blend in. I would like to be a party planner in a tropical area.
ReplyDeleteI've always been obsessed with the name Emma. It seems plain and fun at the same time. Then again, I might want to have a name that no one else will have, like Agoyoanye.
ReplyDeleteI like the name Brooke. I'm not sure what I'd do, but I'd choose to live near a beach.
ReplyDeletei would call myself 'hayden' and live on the beach.
ReplyDeleteI would call myself Isabella and own my own chocolate shop. That would be fun.
ReplyDeleteMy new name would be Christopher and I would be a traveling doctor for the poor remote villages around the world. That would be the life.
ReplyDeleteI would rename myself Jocelyn and be the CEO of a top billion dollar making company and drink margaritas and eat buffets of all the best tasting foods sponsored by me at my work every day. That would be awesome.
ReplyDeleteMy name would be Grace and I would disappear into the southwest where people don't ask a lot of questions
ReplyDeleteFunny, I used this title on a short story once
