I know it is hard to believe but I’m going to start daily blogging again over at my other blog: www.kristibelcamino.com
Although a lot of it is mystery focused, I also am taking with me one of the categories a lot of you liked: books and movies, starting tomorrow (tuesday). Hope you’ll find me over there.

Good news over at www.kristibelcamino.com. (Doing the happy dance above)

I am thrilled to announce that I am now represented by an amazingly talented literary agent.

This also means that I am going to get back to blogging and hope to keep it going over at my new blog. I hope that everyone who has read me here will pop on over there! Thanks so much.

I know this is a bait and switch move, but I’m trying to gradually move over to my new writer blog and so I posted this fantastic article there on what kids really need for Christmas.
Hope you check it out and have a wonderful holiday!

My last post about why I chose to write about kidnapped kids and serial killers is up on my author blog at www.kristibelcamino.com. The book is not gruesome. I hope it is touching and tried to include parts of my world from this blog, some style and food, even recipes. But essentially it is about a reporter’s struggle to find peace.
If you like to read, check out the post.

LESSONS FROM MADAME CHIC:

Thanks to everyone for entering. The comments on what chic was were fantastic and I really enjoyed reading them. I used the random generator to pick a number between 1 and 25 to pick my winner. The first person to enter the contest (after me and stephanie commented) was considered 1 and then so on down the line.

We had 25 people enter the contest. If you count down from the top (skipping the first two comments by me and Stephanie), you come to Kristina! at number 16. Congratulations! You’ll love Jennifer’s book.

It seems like such a stretch to my readers on this blog why I would go from writing about style and European chic to serial killers and kidnapped kids. Well, here’s a bit about why:
