Our 2025
Ballet leg in Buenos AiresHappy Holidays, everyone! I've neglected my blog this year in favor of writing a novel. I'm almost done with a first draft!
In January, we finished up 7 months of travel, in which we visited 4 continents and 14 countries. My last entry was about our cruise from Europe to South America--and I promised to write about South America, so I'm finally getting to that.

| This book is a love letter to Paris that sweeps through generations of multiple families. At 800+ pages it was difficult to keep track of all the characters--but overall it was a scrumptious read. I liked the layering of events, a pentimento of time. ...more | |

Hi Kate, wishing you all the best this holiday season!
First review of Complementary Colors on Amazon!5.0 out of 5 stars
Gwen Jumps the Fence, November 16, 2009
By S. Sublett (California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
COMPLEMENTARY COLORS is the second novel I've read by Kate Evans and I have to say I'm a fan. The book is about a straight girl who meets a gay girl and, despite a history of having never really thought about it, edges toward a lesbian affair. Complicating this strange, new attraction is that she's deeply into a tricky long-term, live-in relationship with an attractive male scientist. The female love object has her own entanglement -- a Lesbian minister.
Triangles upon triangles seems to be Miss Evans's style, as it was also characteristic of her first book, FOR THE MAY QUEEN (which was about the sexual adventures of a college coed). Plotting is one of this writer's strengths and there's some striking imagery, as befits a novel about two people who meet in a poetry workshop. But what really fascinated me was the close-up portrait of the woman changing her sexual stripes. A fun, sexy, quick read.
Hi Kate,Thank you for friending Pinnacle: Author & Book Promotion on Goodreads!

Dizin is a ski resort situated to the north of Tehran iran in the Alborz mountain range.
The huge Dizin ski resort was established in 1969 [1:]. The ski season in Dizin also lasts longer than European ski resorts(from December to May) because of its high altitude.[2:].
The highest ski lift ha reaches 3,600 m (11,800 ft), making it one of the 40 highest ski resorts in the world.
Dizin ski amenities include two hotels, 19 cottages and 5 restaurants, villas and private apartments around the Dizin ski resort accommodate thousands of people every year.

Kate, I just finished the first chapter of Complementary Colors on your blog. More terrific, page-turning fiction. I already hate Daniel -- the way he ignores Gwen, manipulates her, his fussiness, little details like the fact that he'll only subscribe to the New York Times even though they live in California. I can't wait to see which of the female characters you've introduced so far will end up being Gwen's love interest, if any. I just can't wait for the book to come out!
Just wanted to stop in and wish you the best of the holiday season! Merry Christmas!-NoranHammond,IN :)

Hi Kate,Thanks for befriending me. Your latest novel sounds interesting. Off to read your sample chapter.
Much success,

Thanks, Kate! That's the spirit! You will win readers with your personality, no doubt about it. :D
Kate, Angela's Ashes is the truth that people hate to see....our generations are the first to have any freedom of choice, integrity, pseudo-control of our pregancies & hench lifestyle choices. Most of us do not appreciate what this really means to us--Angela's Ashes is an eye opener.Memoirs of a Geisha is a movie that when I first saw it I had to see it immediately again (I rented it on DVD so that is exactly what I did.....) A most poetic & beautiful film..again with many truths & surprisingly some humor for covering such a humor- less topic of being sold as a young woman because of the family's poverty (set in old Japan pre-WWII)
Nice to discuss books into movies with you. Thanks for adding me here.
Hi, Kate!Thanks so much for the invite!!
