          <body><![CDATA[It's been a long time since I've picked up a book that I didn't want to put down again.  Kathryn Stocket has penned a richly intense, character-driven story that makes you laugh on one page and cry on the next. The Help goes down on my list of favorite books of all time. ]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[My unpublished (as of yet!) novel, Monkeys In My Trees, has moved on to the Quarterfinalist phase of the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award Contest and the first chapter can be downloaded for FREE!  I'd love people to check it out.  Just go to:<br/><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/abna">www.amazon.com/abna</a>  then click on the Mysteries genre -- my excerpt and reviews is #8, Monkeys In My Trees by Karen Cantwell.  If you're inclined to download, please do, because it helps my &quot;rankings.&quot;  :-)<br/><br/>Also, for anyone who doesn't know about this contest, I have to say it's been very fun and exciting and I recommend checking out the website.  I'm already planning my submission for next year's contest.  The winner gets a publishing contract with Penguin.  Not shabby!<br/>]]></body>

Decided it must be a book worth reading.  I love to read great dialogue.]]></body>
