USA TODAY Bestselling Author Karen Rose Smith is an only child who delved into books at an early age. She learned about kindred spirits from Anne of Green Gables, solved mysteries with Nancy Drew and wished she could have been the rider on The Black Stallion. Yet even though she escaped often into story worlds, she had many aunts, uncles and cousins around her on weekends. Her sense of family and relationships began there. Maybe that's why families are a strong theme in her novels, whether mysteries or romances. Her 87th novel will be released in 2015.

Readers often ask her about her pastimes. She has herb, flowers and vegetable gardens that help her relax. In the winter, she cooks rather than gardens. And year round she spends most of her time with her husband, as well as her four rescued cats who are her constant companions. They chase rainbows from sun catchers, reminding her life isn't all about work, awards and bestseller lists. Everyone needs that rainbow to chase.

Multi-Author Book Giveaway and $100 Amazon Gift Card, Part 1 by Karen Rose Smith


From June 1-11, to celebrate the release of my new Caprice De Luca mystery DEADLY DECOR, I'm hosting a ten-author book and $100 Amazon Gift Card giveaway.

To enter, go to my KarenRoseSmithBooks Facebook page.  The button is on the left (or top!) and says GIVEAWAY.



Below are five of the participating authors and blurbs from their featured books.   



THE TEXAN'S BABY by Donna Alward

As a powerful Dallas oil executive, planning is what Lizzie Baron does the best.  But she certainly didn't plan on getting pregnant following one memorable night after a rodeo in Fort Worth.  Now she needs to figure out how she's going to raise a baby with a man she barely knows.

Aspiring bronc rider Chris Miller always hoped he'd see Lizzie again, though not quite like this.  The pregnancy is a surprise--and so is finding out she's a member of the powerful Baron clan--but the more Chris gets to know Lizzie, the more he realizes he wants to be with her.  When Lizzie learns Chris works for a rival company, she feels betrayed.  Can two perfect strangers trust each other enough to become the perfect family?

CHEY'S COWBOY by Becky Barker

Trace Mitchem is the foreman at Bridleton and a confirmed bachelor whose main goal in life is to build a ranch he can call his own.  Cheyenne Bartell is the youngest heir to the Texas ranching dynasty.  What she lacks in self-confidence, she makes up for in spirit and determination.

Trace and Chey have known each other for years and worked side by side to save Bridleton.  He prefers to keep a safe distance between them.  She wants to explore the smoldering attraction they share.  It's a standoff until an unexpected accident changes everything.  Suddenly, Chey is the wary one and Trace is demanding so much more.  Until something happens that changes everything again...

DEAD IN RED by L.L. Bartlett

Sometimes it seems like murder and mayhem follow Jeff Resnick, challenging his psychic "sixth sense" to solve crimes.  Since the vicious mugging that changed his life, he's tried to keep his unwanted gift in check.  But when a bartender at his favorite watering hole is murdered, visions of a sparkling red woman's high-heeled shoe and a pair of bloody hands linger in his mind--and hit too close to home.  When Jeff's older brother, Richard, last helped him with an investigation, it nearly cost him his life.  Still, Richard is determined to tag along as Jeff is drawn into the seamy world of fetishes and drag queens to find a murderer before another life is taken.

THE MERRY-GO-ROUND by Donna Fasano

When Laura divorces her husband, she has one thought on her mind...stepping off the merry-go-round.  However, her life quickly turns into a three-ring circus:  her hypochondriac father moves in, he ex is using her shower when she'd not home and her perky assistant is pushing her out into the fearsome dating world.  She also has to decide if the dilapidated barn and vintage merry-go-round she was awarded in the divorce settlement is a blessing or a bane.  As if Lauren's personal life isn't chaotic enough, this slightly jaded attorney is overrun with a cast of quirky characters who can't stay on the right side of the law.  What's a woman to do?  She can allow life to spin her in circle forever.  Or she can reach out and grab the brass ring.

SINK OR SWIM by Stacy Juba

Ambitious personal trainer Cassidy Novak has gained fame for starring on Sink or Swim, a hit reality show.  Not only does she lose and have to walk the plank, but after the game show ends, the terror begins.  Upon returning home, Cassidy discovers she has attracted a stalker masterminding his own twisted game.  She struggles to focus on her health club job and celebrity endorsement opportunities, but her stalker has other plans.  As her former competitors get knocked off one-by-one, Cassidy refuses to play by the stalker's bizarre rules.  She's also being shadowed by hunky photographer Zach Gallagher, who has been assigned to capture her personal moments for a spread in the local newspaper.  She wants to trust Zach, but fears he may not be what he seems.  When the stalker forces a showdown, Cassidy must once again walk the plank...this time for her life.

Are you dreaming of a white Christmas?

"White Christmas" are words that take us to a reverent place, stirring up carols and memories we might forget the rest of the year.  Snow frosting tree limbs calls up childhood memories when I wished for snow on Christmas Eve.  Why?  Because that pristine white conveyed the message that something awesome was about to happen.  Family lived close and snow simply meant putting chains on the tires to get where we wanted to go.  Snow meant that maybe after dinner on Christmas Day my cousins and I could build a snowman.

Moving forward a bit, I wished for a little snow on Christmas Eve but not much because my parents wouldn't be able to drive to our house to watch our son open his presents or listen to him chatter about Santa eating the cookies he left out for St. Nick.  White Christmas evokes recollections of Christmas concerts, carol sings and midnight Mass, watching the last scene in the movie when the generals' men stand to acknowledge him, when the romances end the way they were meant to.

Wishing you all a white Christmas and the memories that make it special.

Please share your "White Christmas" memories and have a wonderful holiday.

In addition to the prizes listed above, I will be giving away a $15 Amazon gift card and a set of note cards.  I will draw the winner from the comments on my blog.


To keep hopping follow the link below.  A list of all the daily prizes can be found there.

#Lenox #Cat Giveaway by Karen Rose Smith


Would you like to have something special in your house this Christmas?  How about a Lenox Christmas cat?  This beautiful porcelain china collectible will brighten any animal lover's house, not only this year but in years to come.

All you have to do to enter is tell me whether you chose your pet...or your pet chose you.  You will see both in my Caprice De Luca home-stager mysteries.  But mostly the animals choose Caprice!

In my life, my dad chose our first dog, a cocker spaniel, as an anniversary present for my mom.  He chose my first two kittens.  They were both yellow tabbies.  When I was in high school, a friend asked if we'd like a white kitten.  She was our first "inside" cat and we treated her like a princess.  She was a beauty.  When my husband and I were first married, we chose a calico from a pet store.  Two years later, we accepted into our apartment a gray angora from a farm.  Their names were Whiskey and Mimi, and at seventeen and fifteen, they died within a few months of each other.  They were close, always grooming each other and sleeping together.  Then came Kasie, a striking calico, too, who was our wildest feline.  She would run and then jump up the wooden door frames, sliding down with her claws.  Kasie had hyperthyroidism and lived to fourteen.  Twelve years ago this Christmas on a snowy morning, we visited a friend's farm and a little black kitten stole my heart.  She had a bad respiratory infection.  It was the week before Christmas, a few days before my birthday, and I couldn't leave her in the cold and snow.  I brought her home, took her to the vet, and nursed her for several weeks.  Ebbie and I have always had a special, sisterly relationship.  A few months later, we adopted her half sister, a gray tabby we named London.

Sixteen months ago Zoie Joy chose our redbud tree to hide in after a storm so we could save her!  Lance, a hurt yellow tabby who needed lots of care found us last summer.  It seemed like a full circle.

So to enter this Lenox giveaway, just make a comment about whether you chose your pet or he/she chose you.  Feel free to tell your story.  Pet people love to share.

Only US and Canadian entries please.  Also, you must leave your email address so I can contact you if you win.  If you want to message it to me on Facebook or email me at Karen@karenrosesmith.com, that's okay, too.  The giveaway will close on November 30, 2013.  That gives us lots of time to collect and read each other's stories of meeting our best friends.

Good luck and have a great start to your holiday season.

Best,
Karen
