These kinds of introductions are the literary equivalent of that name tag you wear to a work seminar or your kid’s PTA meeting. You know what I mean, that tiny white square where you have to write your name, your interests or questions, plus your child’s name and grade all in one tiny white space in felt tip pen. And then after you’ve made a mess of the thing in thick, black, permanent marker, they want you to wear it. Because it helps people get to know you. It’s impossible, right?
That’s what this post is. You won’t know me any better after this than you did before but I’m giving it a shot in not-so-thick, black ink. I’m Christine Duncan. I live in Colorado where I write the Kaye Berreano mystery series. The second book in the series, Safe House, just came out in e-format. It’s available at Fictionwise, Mobipocket and other fine places. The first book, Safe Beginnings is available in print at Barnes and Noble.
I’m married, my three children are grown. Okay, the third one is still working on it, but you get the drift. My time is supposed to be my own now. (Who started that myth?) And I want to talk with folks about writing, publishing, promoting (WHY did no-one tell me what a bear that would be!) and just women stuff. My slant on all this is bound to be different than Michelle’s (a young beauty from the U.K.) and Narelle’s (a gorgeous Aussie) so you might hear some disagreement here. Nothing too serious—we’re Rule of Three. Three countries, three women and three different ways of doing things.
