the Answer to your Cabin Fever

WINTER DOLDRUMS CONTEST
For all of you who have been settled under a warm blanket looking out on a winter landscape these past couple months, I'd like to help.  I'd like to give you a copy of my book to keep you company and offer a distraction from all that cold rain and snow.  For the first 10 people to email me with the correct answer to my question, I will send a copy of my historical adventure, "The Patch of Red Velvet". 




To find the answer, visit and read one of the sample chapters posted on Scribd.com.  Then email me and tell me the name of the woman who wrote romance novels and previously owned the leather chest that contained the stone.

You can email me at: winkingkatbooks@gmail.com.

Please, include your answer, your name, and your mailing address in the email.  The first ten people who answer correctly will be mailed an autographed copy of the book.  

Watch this blog for a listing of the winners.  The contest ends on February 28th, so don't hesitate if you would like to win.

proof in the pudding

I am eagerly awaiting the proof copy of my book in the mail.  Get a chance to
look at the pearly-white pages and check to see if my t's are crossed and i's
are all dotted.  Will be fun to see how the cover turned out as well.  Maybe that
graphic arts degree will finally be put to good use.

Doing a bad thing to prevent a bad thing

Right and wrong.  Good vs evil.  We're all taught in black and white as a kid.  We're rewarded for doing something good or punished for doing something bad.  As we grow, however, we begin to see gray- and I don't mean in our hair.  That's where ethics come in.  Is doing something bad still bad when it keeps something even worse from happening?  When no one is around to reward or punish, do we still do the 'right' thing?  And if the right thing is something terrible, do we still choose to do it?  That's why I decided to make the characters in "The Travelers' Society'" young adults.  Often, they're making those kinds of decisions for the first time.  Sometimes the stakes are simple and silly like telling a seemingly inconsequential white lie, but sometimes the stakes are as high as life and death.  When they are forced to make tough decisions, how do they live with the choices they make?
