Name This Author – Win a Novel (Round 29)

Wednesday does have a way of rolling around every seven days, doesn't it? 🙂 So here is your chance to win another book.

This author and his father were playing golf one New Year’s day when a lone golfer asked to join them. It was only when he introduced himself that they learned he was country singing star Charlie Pride. After that it was one celebrity sighting after another, including sitting next to Coach Joe Paterno on an airplane, eavesdropping on Jack Nicklaus giving golf tips in the lounge at Doral, and relaxing on a beach in Hawaii with Coach Tom Landry. He won the State Meet in extemporaneous speech as a senior in high school, and some people say he hasn’t shut up since. At college, he sat in the same class with Pat Boone. He served in the Air Force, participated in a helicopter rescue, but remains so afraid of heights he has to turn his back to the glass walls when he rides the elevators in a Hyatt.

The Rules:

• Entrant must put their guess in a comment on the Write Thinking blog. Commenting on Facebook or Twitter doesn't count toward a chance to win. (At present, commenters are not required to sign in, making it easier for more folks to play.)
• Entrant must have a USA mailing address to be eligible to win a book. (Sorry. Cost of postage outside the US is too prohibitive.)
• The first person to name the featured author correctly wins a Robin Lee Hatcher novel (of Robin's choice). If no one has guessed correctly by Friday morning, there will be no winner for this round.
• If there is a winner, he or she will be announced in an update at the bottom of this post. If the winner fails to contact Robin at her Write Thinking email address (see left sidebar) with his/her mailing address, no prize will be awarded to a runner-up.
• No one who has won a book within one month is eligible to win.

Be sure to check back to this post on Friday to see the answer and to see if you've won.

Update: We have a winner!! Yea!! Lena Dooley, please email me your mailing address so that both I and our featured author can send you one of our books.
