Confessing Passions –
Offering Fun

Offering Fun
by Debra H. Goldstein
I confess to two sinful passions: shoes and books. I’m a sucker for any pair of shoes that fit
me. Luckily, size six AAA flat feet that are only comfortable in low heels limit the number of shoes with my name on them. This allows me use
my money to indulge my second obsession – buying books, especially
mysteries. Consequently, how could I say
no to marrying heels and murder every second and fourth Friday through The
Stiletto Gang’s blog? It is a perfect
match for me J.

But then I started to worry about you. What engages you? Obviously, prattling about my love of shoes
and books will quickly bore you. So, what to write about?
and books will quickly bore you. So, what to write about?
Describing me can pretty much be summed up in a few words: judge, litigator, author, wife, mother of
twins, step-mom, civic volunteer, transplanted Yankee and a woman who hates to
be pigeon-holed. My writings are equally
diverse. That’s why my personal blog is
called “It’s Not Always a Mystery.” (http://DebraHGoldstein.wordpress.com)

Spending a lot of words telling you about how Harlequin Worldwide Mysteries
will be issuing my 2012 IPPY Award winning debut novel, Maze in Blue, a mystery set on the University of Michigan’s campus
in the 1970’s, as its May 2014 selection seems a waste of time because you can
read about that on my website, www.DebraHGoldstein.com. The same holds true for introducing you to my non-fiction pieces including “More Hugs Less Fear” that was published by More Magazine online, my short
stories like “Legal Magic,” “Malicious Mischief,” “Grandma’s Garden” or this
month’s Bethlehem Writers Roundtable featured
story “A Political Cornucopia” (www.bwgwritersroundtable.com
).

I could share funny anecdotes about having four children, a
husband whose blood runs Crimson, how I reacted when my book publisher ceased
operations the week I was on my first Malice Domestic panel and had speaking
engagements lined up for the next six months or balancing my legal career with
writing, but I’d prefer to know what interests you. Whether something personal from my website,
my Tom Sawyer philosophy, or why I think networking is almost as important as
getting words on paper are all possible topics.

Let’s make this fun – I’ll spend the next few
days thinking about shoes and books while you take a look at my website and stories and leave me comments on The Stiletto Gang Blog about your preferred topics. As an incentive, I will randomly pick a name
and theme from your comments and send that person a free copy of Maze in Blue. Check back on November 22 to see who won and what the blog topic turns out to be.
