EXCERPT from Marred by Sue Coletta

Member of Mystery Writers of America and Sisters in Crime, Sue Coletta writes psychological thrillers, mysteries, and suspense with grisly plots and complex storylines that are sure to keep readers flipping pages late into the night. A four-thousand-word excerpt of Marred scored first placement in Murder, USA, an anthology. When she’s not writing or reading, she enjoys nature, animals, and family. Bear shows and zoos at places that treat animals with respect are her personal favorites.

Not too shabby. :) I may start writing my Christmas cards; most years I run late with cards. If you're celebrating Thanksgiving, what are your plans?
