It's Friday the 13th again and we're celebrating with anagrams and a giveaway! (Bear with us. This will all make sense shortly.)
Not too long ago, one of the Thirteeners stumbled upon this wordsmith site where you could plug in your name, a phrase, anything, and get anagramed results with the click of a button. We started playing with it, plugging in our names (awesome pen name options!) and finally our book titles.
What resulted, was this fantastic list of truly compelling novels:

And then, in typical Thirteener fashion, we had to take it a step further by creating things like fake covers and riveting synopses. I mean, aren't you dying to read La Dude after this writeup and jacket?
LA DUDE by Peach Seminal
Surf slacker extraordinaire Sam "the dude" Foster is seeking the next big wave in Australia when he takes a wrong turn at the airport and ends up in Paris. Having no money for a ticket home, Sam must get a job in a Parisian cafe. Soon he's embracing the French way of life, dropping "bonjours" and "au chantes" like a pro. La Dude is the story of a man who loses his way, and finds it again, all with the help of a little ooh-la-la.
And check out these other mock covers. Admit it: you'd totally pick one of these up at your local bookstore.
