It's that time again. Round 8 in my Name This Author blog series.
This author was born in the town where country western music rules. On long trips in the car as a little girl she used to make up stories about the people who lived in a certain house she saw or on a farm she passed by to help the time go faster. She had some unusual pets like a monkey and skunk. She attended a year of nursing school before finding her real calling. It's a good thing. She has a fear of shots.
The Rules:
- You must put your guess in a comment on the Write Thinking blog (commenters must sign in using any of a number of different methods: Typepad ID, Facebook ID, Twitter ID, Google ID, Blogger ID, etc.). Commenting on Facebook or Twitter doesn't count toward a chance to win.
- Participants must have a USA mailing address to be eligible to win a book. (Sorry. Cost of postage outside the US is too prohibilitive.)
- The first person to name the author correctly wins a Robin Lee Hatcher novel of her 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 to see the answer and to see if you have won.
UPDATE: We have a winner! Christy came up with the right answer. Congratulations, Christy. Please contact me at the email address listed in the left sidebar with your mailing address so I can get a book out to you.
This week's author is Margaret Daley. Margaret has been writing for twenty-five years. She started in the late 1970s because she wanted to see if she could put a whole story down on paper. That book is still in the drawer and will never see the light of day. But she was able to finish a book which was her goal. She decided after that to get some help and joined a writer’s round table where she met once a week with some writers and went over each other’s work. She sold her first book in the early 1980s and has been selling ever since.
Be sure to visit Margaret's web site, and come back next Wednesday for another edition of Name This Author!
