Some amazing news...

I'm thrilled to announce that I'm a double finalist in the 2009 Desert Rose Golden Quill contest. Enchanting the Lady & Double Enchantment both finaled in the Fantasy, Science Fiction, and futuristic category.
It's double the honor!

Hi Kathryne,

Just wanted to let you know I'd received your package in the mail today. Unbelievable, it arrived so soon. The pendant is so awesome and such a pretty blue color. Too bad we had our digital camera stolen last year or else I would email you a picture of me wearing it. Love your books...keep them coming! Take care and have a good one...Lily

We have a winner of the second contest for Enchanting the Beast. Congratulations to Lily Woo, of San Francisco, CA for her entry emailing a friend about the RELICS OF MERLIN series. I'll be posting a note from her when she receives the pendant.

Enjoy, Lily!
