A Fascinating Time Period
I love the early 1920s to the kate 1930s It was a time of peace in our country. Other than the stock market crash and Prohibition, people had fun, new dances were created, and the country underwent fantastic changes in many areas of life, such as architecture, art and science. The clothes were the cat’s meow and the shoes, well, the shoes were to die for. Being a shoe hound, I love that!
I wrote one book that’s out now called REDEMPTION FOR THE DEVIL and it’s based in 1920. I have a manuscript out on submission called THE GAMBLER and it’s based in 1937. They were both fun to write and weave in history and culture to the plots.

My Greatest Accomplishment of 2010
My accomplishment: I sold three novels to two different publishers under my pseudonym. I had already sold quite a few short stories but selling the novels was BIG for me. I had validation that I can write. Someone besides my family and friends liked my work. That was a big deal to me. One of the books is already out and the other two will be out by July 2011- one releases in April and one in July.

Good News for the Alter Ego
She sold her 1920s historical novel named Redemption for the Devil. It will come out in July 2011. Desert Breeze Publishing. It is a story about an Irish Catholic lass that falls for an Irish Protestant lad who happens to have a very bad past. Can her love redeem him? Can they get past the religious issue? You’ll have to read it to find out.
Last year was the first year I’d heard of NaNoWriMo. November is National Novel Writing Month. There’s a wicked cool web site that lets you track your progress as you try to write 50,000 words in the 30 days of November. This book my pen name and I sold was our NaNo book last year. We wrote it in 21 days as we had to travel down to Boca Raton for Thanksgiving and we knew there’d be no writing down there.
Recently, we added an additional 25,000 words to flesh out the story. The basic story was done November 21, 2009 but we edited in much more historical detail in the last month. Made it much richer and it sold. Yesterday.
Join me this November for the next round. My user name there is sfcatty. Friend me and we’ll journey together. It’s a blast. Check out the website: http://www.nanowrimo.org/

Just Because I Got a Re-Write Request
under my pen name, I thought I’d share a photo of my inspiration for my hero in Redemption for the Devil.
He has longer hair than this in my mind in the story but ain’t he pretty?
