Name This Author – Win a Novel (Round 37)

Here we go. Another chance to win a book or two.

This author was the baby of the family with an older sister and brother. She lives in the Midwest, but was born in the East. She loves history, research, and visiting bakeries. She writes historical fiction—sometimes on her own, but sometimes with a co-author. Her earlier working years were filled with legal writing–which she thinks might be considered fiction by some folks. Her favorite flowers are sunflowers and daisies.

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.
• 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. Many of our featured authors also offer a book to the winner, but that changes from week to week, so no guarantees.
• 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. Diana Flowers, you guessed our featured author. Please email me with your mailing address so that we can get books sent to you. (Since you have won in the past, please let me know what books of mine you already have so I won’t duplicate.)

Judith Miller is our featured author this week. Judy makes her home in Topeka, Kansas, and worked as a legal assistant and compliance analyst before retiring to write historical fiction full time. She has authored or co-authored (with Tracie Peterson) more than thirty books. Judy is in the process of remodeling the family’s former rec room into a large office—-a project she hopes to complete before next summer. She made her decision too late this year and she’s sweltering in the upstairs bedroom that she uses as her current office! Visit her website at www.judithmccoymiller.com and the Writes of Passage blog at www.writespassage.blogspot.com where she blogs on Wednesdays. The other days are filled by Robin Lee Hatcher, Tamera Alexander, Kim Sawyer, Tracie Peterson and Cathy Marie Hake.

See you next week for another round of Name This Author.
