Silver Anniversary Contest

Help me celebrate my ‘silver anniversary’ - 25 years as a published novelist – and maybe win a special prize for yourself.

If you’ve read the letter on the home page then you’ll know that December 2009 marks a very special anniversary for me. It will be 25 years since my very first book - The Chalk Line – was published by Mills and Boon. Since then I’ve gone on to have over 50 titles published, with several more lined up to appear in 2010.

But now I want to mark this special anniversary and celebrate 25 years as a published author, and when I celebrate, I love to share with my readers. So here’s how I’d like you to join in and maybe win yourself a prize by doing so. I have 25 prizes in all to give away – one to mark each year that I have been published.

So here’s how to enter – there are two ways to win.

1. FIRST BOOOKS

Can you remember the first Kate Walker novel you ever read? Were you right there at the beginning with The Chalk Line? Or have you discovered my books much more recently?

Tell me about your first time – the first Kate Walker you read. What book was it and what was happening in your life when you found it? Did you pick it up in a shop, find it in the library – or perhaps a friend or member of your family suggested you try it?

Let me know about the first book you read and I will publish the most interesting ones on my blog. I will also give a prize to anyone whose story I publish. You can win a signed copy of one of the backlist books I have a available, together with another small gift to celebrate Christmas and this special anniversary.

Send your First Book stories to me – see the email below – with FIRST BOOK in the subject line. Closing date for all FIRST BOOK stories is December 31st 2009. But I’ll be posting some of the titles and stories before then.

2. TOP 5 TITLES

Which of my books are your very favourite novels? When I was celebrating 20 years published, I ran a poll for readers to nominate their top five favourite Kate Walker books. I collected up all the votes and the result was like this:

1. A Sicilian Husband
2. The Italian's Forced Bride
3. The Sicilian's Wife
4. Sicilian Husband, Blackmailed Bride
5. The Antonakos Marriage
6. The Spaniard's Inconvenient Wife
7. Wife For A Day
8. Desert Affair
9. 12 Month Mistress
10. The Hostage Bride

Of course, since then I’ve had quite a lot more books published – and you might find you’d prefer some of those. Or you could have changed your mind about which book you like best. So why don’t you join in this new vote, help me discover which of my books is now the No 1 favourite – and again put yourself in the running for one of my special 25th anniversary prizes.

What you have to do:

List your top five Kate Walker books in order 1 – 5

Send your list to me with TOP 5 BOOKS in the subject line on the email.

And I’ll do the rest.

Again, the closing date for this poll is December 31st and I’ll start off my special celebration year by publishing the results in January so that everyone will know which book was voted top.

And as the votes come in, I’ll get Sid to pick a couple of winners every week so that some of you will win a prize of a signed book and an extra little gift for helping me out with my poll.

PS.
