You never do know when or from where inspiration will come. I was reading a book by Craig Johnson recently, and he used such a lovely turn of phrase to describe something - I never would have thought to use those words, but as soon as I read it, it was just perfect. I love when those little unexpected moments happen!Barb Goffmanhttp://www.barbgoffman.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149221038265652599.post-76250271862014278322010-11-08T12:39:11.868-08:002010-11-08T12:39:11.868-08:00Barb, thanks for the nice interview.

One holiday season, many, many years ago, I was a sailor returning home for Christmas leave, and my pocket was picked, removing all my money for family presents and celebration. Took the wind out of my sails, and had I been a writer at the time, I'm sure I would have taken the same route: killing the perpetrator in a story!<br /><br />Tony Burton<br />www.wolfmont.comRev.

I will mention your generous matching offer to readers to encourage them to order through your site. I'll post it on Veteran's Day. You can find it via http;//www.kathleenaryan.com. <br />Thanks for your generosity towards a good cause ~ and congratulations to Barb on her success!

The beauty with e-books like The Killer Wore Cranberry is that can have the book in your hands in a matter of minutes and can start reading write away.
