Bestselling Author Carla Neggers and Mira Books invite one lucky reader

A chance to live your Adventure New York Times bestselling author Carla Neggers thrives on adventure and it shows in every book she writes. She can often trace the plot to the exact moment of inspiration: “Its part of the fun of being a writer because you never know what will spark an idea. Exploring everything from stone huts to castles, wondering what it might be like to be trapped in a ruin in the remote Irish countryside.” The plot for The Angel, Carlas newest novel,, was born during a family adventure as she stood amid the ruins of an old cottage in Ireland. Other books have led her to climb mountains, learn how to shoot guns and follow members of the police force through their days. One murder plot occurred to the author while she was visiting a small, canal-side community in the Netherlands. Wherever a new adventure leads, Carla is sure to go and likely to find an inspiration. Now, the author is offering one lucky reader a chance to seek out and experience his or her own adventure.
