Unspoken Bond: An award winning story
Blake O'Connor's debut novel, Unspoken Bond, won an honorable mention award in the Houston Writers Guild 2012 Novel Contest. A judge said, "Your story is worth telling."  Blake is a graduate of the University of Texas, lives in Houston with her husband, youngest daughter, one dog, two cats, and sometimes a few monarch butterfly caterpillars, but only when it's too cold outside for the little critters. An animal lover all her life, Blake's earliest memories were of growing upon a cotton farm near Navasota, Texas. Her mother was always rescuing dogs that had been dumped along the highway. And it is from her mother that she inherited her love of animals and the outdoors.  Reach Blake at: Blake.Oconnor123@aol.com
