Never Say Never\u00a0and Book Giveaway!<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

A few decades ago when my husband and I became engaged, he said, \u201cI\u2019d like us to live in the northwoods.\u201d I knew his family owned property on a lake in far northern Wisconsin near the southern shore of Lake Superior.<\/p>\n

At the time we were living in a suburb of Chicago and at these words– I \u201clooked\u201d at him. (You wives, know what I mean.) I was not a fan of winter. I wanted to move farther south, not farther north. I replied, \u201cI\u2019m never living north of the Wisconsin-Illinois border.\u201d<\/p>\n

HA!<\/p>\n

Of course you know where we eventually ended up living—the northwoods in a cottage on that same lake.<\/p>\n

Here is the winter view from our deck–New Year’s Day dawn. Our frozen lake lies in the distance.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"new-years-eve-dawn\"So how did this happen to a nice \u201csouthern\u201d girl ‘-) like me?<\/p>\n

Well, I fell in love with the beauty of the forest and the many clear, spring-fed lakes. Then life events moved us north. And I must say I wish we\u2019d moved earlier than we did.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve made peace with winter, make do with a brief spring, and love the low humidity, warm–no air-conditioning needed–summers and the long golden falls to which tourists flock to capture the beauty with their cameras. I\u2019m a northwoods woman now. And it comes out in my writing.<\/p>\n

\"Winter's<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve set many of my books in the northwoods. My \u201cNorthern Intrigue\u201d series is set in the forest and lakes around a fictional town, Steadfast WI. The series combines romance and mystery.<\/p>\n

The first book in the series is Winter\u2019s Secret.<\/i> At the end of this month (Jan 28-30), its ebook price will be reduced to 99 cents on Amazon http:\/\/amzn.to\/2i6ioc<\/a>i and Barnes and Noble. So if you\u2019d like a peek into my beloved northwoods, mark your calendars. And let me<\/p>\n

welcome you to Steadfast, Wisconsin,\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

a town with people and mysteries you may never forget.<\/i><\/p>\n
