Hello!
My name is Carol Ann Kauffman.
Here are some quirky facts about me:
1. I used to have an irrational fear of spiders. But then I discovered if you spray them with hair spray, it stiffens up their little legs so they can't chase you. I now keep a bottle of hair spray in the basement.
2. I was the spelling champ in grade school (momentarily) so when you see easy words misspelled in one of my books, please know that I know better and blame the ghost in the machine, as I do.
3. When I was a little girl, my father told me I was a very bad liar because when I lied it was written on my face, so I always cover my forehead with my hand when I lie.
4. I rubbed chicken nuggets all over my hands right before I went in to pick up my new puppy so he would come to me and like me. Yes, I am not above such fast food trickery. And yes, it worked. Sixteen years later, he still loves his mama.
5. I like to cook. That doesn't mean everything I make is delicious, or even edible. It's just a hobby in the kitchen involving measuring spoons and cups and equations.
6. I like trains. I go to trains shows whenever I can. Nobody puts on makeup or does their hair to go to a train show. Actually, I'm not quite sure there are other people at these train shows, but the trains are wonderful!
I'm giving away:
An autographed copy of Sea Witch, my latest full-length sci-fi novel. It won the silver medal in the AUTHORS db 2015 Cover Contest. It's about a scientist and a mermaid, but this mermaid is no Ariel. What a love story!

ReplyDeleteNatasha, I love mermaids, too. Have you read Debbie Herbert's mermaid books? Excellent! Siren's Secret, Siren's Treasure, and Siren's Call follow the adventures of mermaid cousins.

Deleteone quirky fact about myself is that I always dreamed of being a chuck wagon cook, and I have my kitchen decorated that way.
ReplyDeleteSonya, that sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I was fun to write. I've been asked to write a sequel, so you may be hearing more about Laura Wilson and Scott Conner in the next book.
DeleteMermaids are such fun. Looks like an enjoyable read!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Holly. I think you'll like it.
DeleteI've never read a book about a mermaid. It looks good.

I just got a convection oven and everything I made was terrible! I may need some baking tips!
DeleteThanks for the chance! Mermaids are such gorgeous creatures I'd love to read about them.
ReplyDeleteThe winner will be announced on Friday. With this wonderful response, I might be giving away some ebook copies, too!

ReplyDeleteAfter listening to The Mermaid by Great Big Sea, I have some serious questions about mermaid sex. Perhaps your book could clear a few things up for me. :-D

I can't, and shouldn't, cook. The kitchen and I are not pals. I'm okay over an open fire outside, but the whole indoor with a stove thing... nooo.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read this book @
ReplyDeleteI am terrified of Popsicle sticks or rather wooden utensils or sticks touching my tongue! I also have difficulty watching other people enjoy Popsicles.A fear I inherited from my Dad who is also afraid of them!
