By Fate's Hand
by Katherine Greyle, Multi-author Anthology, Candice Kohl

When all seems lost and mere mortals despair, love sometimes needs
a gentle hand to guide it...

The hand of fate delivers a magical gift: a needle made of gold, designed to last through the ages. From woman to woman, it passes through generations, mending hearts as well as cloth. Watch as a fair lady imprisoned on Avalon heals one of Arthur's knights—and in doing so frees them both to find the happiness they crave. Travel the early American plains beside a frightened young bride as she mends her new husband's shirts—and searches for the pioneering spirit she needs to be his helpmate. Flit through a virtual reality of fairy tales with a bewildered young executive who's looking for a sedative—but who finds her Prince Charming, instead.

Through centuries and against the odds, the golden needle weaves a tapestry rich in laughter and tears as it restores hope, inspires faith, and sews the seeds of love in every woman whose life it touches. Meet the women and their heroes...and smile as fate takes a hand in making their dreams come true.

Katherine Greyle's Bio

Katherine Greyle believes that writing is both her greatest joy and her greatest challenge. Writing for her is a passion and a discipline, both hard to sustain for long periods of time. She keeps it lively by switching constantly among genres, from Regencies, through contemporary adventures to fantasy and time travel. Occasionally, she even writes humor articles for Racquetball Magazine. "But all my works include romance," she says, "even if it's the love of the perfect serve."

Years ago, someone told Kathy Greyle to write what was in heart. Little did this person know what weirdness lurked within Kathy's twisted soul. Her first novel, Oracle, was a futuristic romance that won numerous awards including a RITA nomination for Best First Novel and PRISM's Best of the Best award! Kathy's next series of books showcase her humor in a historical trilogy beginning with Rules For A Lady, published in January of 2001. Major Wyclyff's Campaign was launched in October and is followed in April 2002 by Miss Woodley's Experiment. As much a star in the historical genre as in paranormal, Kathy's reviews have been excellent. In fact, her favorite hero, Major Wyclyff, even garnered a Romantic Times KISS award!

Building on her humorous regencies, Kathy then wrote No Place for a Lady, released in May 2003 which received Kathy's second Romantic Times KISS award! Don't forget to look for Kathy's delightful time travel to the regency era in Almost an Angel which came out from Love Spell in November 2003. And lest she forget her Asian heritage, she wrote the hysterical "Dragon for Dinner", a contemporary novella in the acclaimed Playing with Matches anthology from NAL in April 2003.

When writing novels and screenplays gets too difficult, Kathy relaxes by rollerblading with her two daughters and playing racquetball at the highest amateur levels.
