AtoZChallenge 2015 – Theme Reveal
Welcome to Wittegen Press for our theme reveal for this year’s AtoZChallenge.
Our theme this year is simply titled ‘Why?’.
We have decided to talk about why we wrote some of our books and what inspired them. Each day has a theme word beginning with the letter for that day and the author of a book inspired by that word will be writing a post. There will be insights into our authors’ minds (possibly not always a good thing ;)) and each day the book in question will be FREE for those 24hrs.
Below is a list of our theme prompts and the days on which they are scheduled (and yes, on a couple of them we may have cheated a little ;)). To see which books were inspired by these words and why, check back in April for all our posts.

Awesome theme. Looking forward to it.
Thank you 🙂 I’m just gearing up to go look at everyone else’s themes now – so much fun.
Thanks 🙂
What a fun theme! And books! What’s not to love? 🙂 I’ll be checking back for this one!
Cheers!

Thank you 😀
Thank you. 🙂
Interesting one! All the best!
Many thanks. Let’s hope it’s a great April 🙂
Thanks. Happy A to Zing in April! 🙂
3 A to Z’s. Are you a masochist? :O) J/K. But I feel like genuflecting and saying, “I’m not worthy! *lol* I signed up for your newsletter.
A little bit 😉 Soph and I actually have four blogs between us, one personal one each and two we share and so, if you add it up, we really only have two whole ones to worry about each ::g::. Welcome to the newsletter, I very much hope you enjoy the free eBooks.
I like to think of it as ‘adventurous’ ;p And, as Tash said, we’re mainly sharing the load 🙂 Enjoy the A to Z, welcome to the newsletter, and we hope you like the free eBooks.
Sounds like an interesting theme. And I never say no to free 😛
Yay 🙂 Hope you enjoy April then.
I like ‘free’ too 🙂 Happy A to Zing.
How very well organized! Thanks for the preview of coming episodes.
You’re welcome, thank you for dropping by.
Thanks for taking the time to pop by. Only time will tell just how organised we are! ;P
Ohhhh, Why. What an interesting theme. And I love some of the topics you’ve come up with (particularly dragons!). Can’t wait to check it out!
Thank you 🙂 When we got to D is could only be Dragons, there was no contest with other options.
We have a weakness for dragons 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
Sounds like a fun theme! Inspiration is always a good place to write from. 🙂
See you in April!

Thank you 😀 It seemed like a good way to go.
Thanks for stopping by – yes, see you in April! 🙂
Why is definitely a question that needs to be explored and should be explored. You may have just given me an idea for my 2016 theme!
Thinking ahead FTW! 🙂 Glad to be of assistance 😀
I promise we will have more to say than the philosophy student who when asked ‘why’ in an exam, simply wrote, ‘because’. 🙂
Very interesting theme and cool the books will be free during that time they are featured!
betty
We thought is only fair and we very much hope people enjoy reading them. 🙂
As Tash said, if folks take the time to stop by, then it’s only fair they get something for their trouble. 🙂
Wow – I am going to love this, Natasha! It is always intriguing to get into a writer’s mind to see the process that went into writing a book! I am looking forward to reading these posts!
Thank you :). Let’s hope mine and Soph’s minds aren’t too weird 😉
Notice Tash said ‘too weird’ – I apologise for my mind in advance ;P
Great theme! I find myself asking that very question when in the middle of a project. Why am I writing this or why this subject? Looking forward to keeping up with your A to Z 🙂
Gladiator’s Pen
I think it’s healthy to ask ourselves why every so often during a project, it keeps us focused on what we’re writing. Good luck with your superstitious fics 🙂
Thank you 🙂 ‘Why’ is such a useful question and sometimes the best answer is ‘why not’ 😉
That sounds like a lot of fun, especially “yuck”. 🙂
We feel that ‘yuck’ was an especially inspired title for a post theme ;P
As Soph said, ‘yuck’ definitely grabbed us. One of us just happened to say it when we were discussing possible prompts and we both grinned and that was it 🙂 .
Great topic! I think we all cheat a little–especially on letters like Q and X! I realized my X this year was the same last year–but last year my theme was “indulgences” and this year it’s “the 80s.” So Xanadu fits both!

X and Z are my nemeses for theme topics, X being the greatest, so, yes, a little bit of cheating was in order ;P
It’s the spirit that counts! 😉 I feel having to duck into the Polish language (thank you google) was a particular stretch, however. 😀
What an intriguing theme. I look forward to reading all of the post and hopefully many of the books.

I’m intrigued! I’ve been inspired by many an author too. This will be very interesting and fun to read.
Good Luck with the Challenge.
