SCN Benefit Raffle: Closes April 1, 2012
Winners will be announced as soon as both have been contacted
You could win a cameo appearance in one of Susan Wittig Albert's two mystery series: the China Bayles Herbal Mysteries or the Darling Dahlias Garden Mysteries. What's more, your raffle purchase will help Story Circle members attend this year's Stories From the Heart Conference by subsidizing registration fees and travel/hotel costs, as well as other SCN projects.

Susan (who founded Story Circle in 1997) will personally work with the two winners to develop characters who will represent them in two of her upcoming mystery novels: Widow's Tears (China Bayles 2013 mystery) and The Darling Dahlias and the Spirit Bean (2013). And don't worry: she won't ask you to be a villain—you'll be the kind of person you can brag about to your friends. You'll also receive a specially personalized copy of the collectible first edition of your book. A big win for a small investment!
