"SO THEN MY HUSBAND GRABBED THE CHAINSAW..."

From Warren Adler’s web site: It's the silver anniversary of my novel "The War of the Roses" and at Stonehouse Press, we want to celebrate. You've read our divorce story; now we want to read yours. So get to writing and give us -- in 1,500 words or less -- your juiciest, meanest, and veracious divorce story. For those of you who were never married...well, you can still apply, just tell us about the bad break-up of a friend or family member.

The person whose story makes us laugh, cry, or squirm the most is going to win a top-notch prize, with second and third prizes also forthcoming. Just to show there’s no loser (aside from those alimony payments and painful memories), we're going to put up the entries on the website for the rest of world to cherish your heartache.

In true love’s fashion, we’ll announce the winner on Valentine’s Day, 2007. Deadline for the contest is December 31, so get writing. Follow the rules on the web site, and then send your stories customerservice@warrenadler.com.

P.S.: Read the first chapter of "The War of the Roses" here.
