What is something about you - that most people would find surprising? We all have our story!! I'd love to know a tidbit about you that makes my eyes light up and makes my mouth water. It could be anything from 'I'm double-jointed' to 'I speak three languages' to 'my dad was a spy'. I'm running a contest at my FB page - and asking people to share and reveal their surprises. Whoever gives me something I can't live without, which also needs to easily fit into the fifth book I'm starting, Second Chances will win their surprising fact as part of the story. Go to my page here:   https://www.facebook.com/authorkimberlymckay/posts/544929815615965 Or leave me a comment here if you're not on FB.  I want to know about you!! And I can't wait to hear from you.
