Bestselling Author Tami Hoag Donates Signed Novel to Helping Horses Help Kids Silent Auction

Pataskala, OH (August 19, 2009) – New York Times bestselling author Tami Hoag, who is also an accomplished adult amateur dressage rider, makes her living writing thrilling and spine-tingling murder mysteries. Hoag will thrill those attending the Second Annual Helping Horses Help Kids benefit for PBJ Connections by donating a signed copy of one of her bestselling mysteries to the benefit’s silent auction.

Hoag has signed a copy of her novel Kill The Messenger, which will be auctioned off at The Helping Horses Help Kids benefit September 19. The benefit will take place at the adjoining properties of PBJDressage and the farm of Bill and Vanieta Decker in Pataskala, Ohio.

Hoag says it’s no mystery that PBJ Connections works hard to help children, and she was honored to be part of the auction. “PBJ Connections Inc., is a nonprofit organization offering equine-assisted learning and therapy for children and teens,” said Glenda Childress, Executive Director of PBJ Connections. “Our goal at the Helping Horses Help Kids benefit is to raise $20,000 that will be used to provide our services to area youth who could not otherwise afford them.”

Hoag is known for supporting worthy projects, and recently donated signed copies of her novels to the riders at the Intercollegiate Dressage Association National Championships in Findlay, Ohio. She also donated a signed novel to the student auction at the American Horse Publications annual meeting.

“PBJ Connections works hard to provide equine-assisted learning and therapy to area at-risk youth and their families,” Hoag said. “I admire the work that PBJ Connections does and am hoping that Helping Horses Help Kids is a huge success.”

Hoag is known around the world for her intense suspense novels and has 14 New York Times bestselling novels to her name including Alibi Man, Kill The Messenger, Lucky’s Lady, Dust To Dust and Ashes To Ashes to name a few. Hoag’s novels Dark Horse and Alibi Man combine her love of horses and writing and take place amidst the Wellington, Florida equestrian scene.

Fans everywhere are eager for dressage’s top mystery writer to deliver a new thriller and Hoag isn’t disappointing her fans – Deeper Than The Dead will be on bookshelves by the end of the year.
