When I decided to convert my Figure Skating Mystery series, including Murder on Ice, On Thin Ice, Axel of Evil, Death Drop and Skate Crime, into enhanced e0books, I turned to The Ice Theatre of New York.
Not only is their video library a perfect match for my stories (they even had an interracial couple performing a routine together! Do you know what the odds of finding a white man skating with a black woman, in order to fit my pre-written characters, are? As Mr. Spock would say, they're pretty astronomical!) --
-- But, in addition, there is also a skating/soap connection there.
Rebecca Budig (All My Children; Guiding Light) is headlining ITNY's upcoming benefit on Thursday, May 17.
Check out the details, below!
Ice Theatre of New York (ITNY), the nation's premier ice dance ensemble presents Celebrity Skate 2012, a benefit to raise money to cover the costs of rehearsing our company for the 2012/2013 season.
