Mostly OT - A Contest!
Betsy Devonshire, needlework shopowner, needs a boyfriend. She has
had two romances in the course of this mystery novel series. The first was Morrie Steffans, a retired police detective who wanted Betsy to sell her shop and move with him to Florida. The second was Stan Omernic, a hard-working police detective. Good looking in an Eastern European way, very competent. Neither of them does needlework. The third? Well, invent someone, one of you. Betsy is short, plump, intelligent, hard-working, funny, open-minded, a church-going Episcopalian. She is independently wealthy (though that may change if the economy keeps sliding). She owns her own business and sleuths on the side. She keeps a cat. She needs a boyfriend she can keep! Because of my wide readership, I am dipping into my stash to offer a choice of prizes to the winner: 1) A hand-painted canvas by Peter Ashe called Winter Cottage, not stitched. 2) A sampler pattern called “A Sampler for Merry Pat” from Blue Ribbon Designs in original package. 3) “The Long Thistle” cross stitch chart from Landmark Tapestries in original package. 4) An autographed ARC (Advance Review Copy – bound galleys) of Thai Die. 5) An antique (around 1912) toy typewriter from Simplex 6) A skein of fuzzy yarn (mohair, wool, nylon blend, 50 grams, 122 yards) in fall colors from The Gourmet Collection The rules of the contest: You have until November 15 to invent a fictional male boyfriend for my sleuth, Betsy Devonshire. He needs a name, a physical description, and a solid outline of his character. Add any details you like, including how they meet – though that’s not necessary. Oh, I do need to like him, too. Winner has choice of one of above prizes. New boyfriend will appear in Blackwork and the winner will also get a copy of that book, suitably autographed. It's possible no one will win, if I don't like any of the entries -- it's my contest, after all. Send entries to Mary Monica aka Monica Ferris |
