How's THAT for all-inclusive? The historical part is based on my children's paternal heritage - a connection to Joseph Brant. I've always wanted to write about that fascinating background and found I could easily incorporate it into Sweet Karoline. Anne, my main character, travels from Los Angeles to small town Ontario, Canada, to discover her roots. This book is a little different from the Emily Taylor Mysteries, because it's a stream of consciousness kind of suspense: fewer bodies and more exploration of a person who's suffered tremendous trauma.

Attendees (family and friends mostly) got to hear excerpts and win prizes and download an e-copy of the novel. We had a blast! It was held in the hair salon where Johnny Ferri does my hair: Great Expectations. Could there be a better-named location? Afterward we all had dinner at Fanzorelli's. That's my hubby's and my favorite restaurant, hands down. www.fanzorellis.ca<br />Catherine Astolfohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16322797077215536857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-76404221914065054582013-07-15T10:07:28.246-04:002013-07-15T10:07:28.246-04:00Good morning Cathy and super congrats on your new ...Good morning Cathy and super congrats on your new release!!!<br /><br />Please tell us all about it and since you're new to AuthorIsland, please tell us a bit more about yourself and your other work.<br /><br />I hear the book is doing really well for you so far and at only 99 cents, it's quite a bargain!
