  2. Create a corresponding book title
  3. Leave your entry (Photo number, title and genre) in a comment
  4. One per customer, please
  5. Contest runs through Sunday, October 4th, midnight Central time
  6. Winner gets choice of Writer's Delight or Cajun Goodies package
Good luck! And pass the word around, wontcha?
