Sorry I won't be writing my usual column this week. All entries for the 2009 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards contest must be ready to roll at 9:00 p.m. p.s.t on Sunday, February 1st. I intend to enter my novel "Destiny's Chain" in that contest so all of us ABNA veterans are editing like mad. Amazon is only accepting the first 10,000 entrants and it looks like it will be a bit of a photo finish. I'm hoping to be in and then the next step is to make the semi finals. Later on there will be a chance for the general public to read the 5,000 word excerpts of all the 500 sem finalists.
Last year, I did make the semi finals but have done a lot of work on this novel in the meantime. So we will see what happens. I'll let you know.

About Me
- Liz Kales - I Love Books and Writers
- Born in Vancouver, Canada enough years ago to be considered a senior, I love to read, to travel and to discover my family history. I worked for several years with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation as a writer of television and radio advertising. After studying Travel and Tourism Management, I worked in that industry for over 25 years. Along the way, I wrote travel articles for both newspapers and trade journals. Now retired, I am a Vine reviewer for Amazon.com and have written two novels, "The Silk Weaver's Daughter" and "Night of the Gypsies" which is a sequel about the next generation of the Garneau family. I live on the west coast of Canada and have been married for over 50 years.
