This week, I’m giving away two humorous debut novels. The first one is Keep Me Posted by Lisa Beasley. The publicist is handling the mailing for this one. Here’s the book’s description.

Keep Me Posted

Two sisters share the surprising highs and cringeworthy lows of social media fame, when their most private thoughts become incredibly public in this fresh and funny debut novel.

The once-close Sunday sisters have not done a bang-up job of keeping in touch. Cassie is consumed with trying to make her life work as a Manhattan wife and mom to twin toddlers, while her bighearted sister, Sid, lives an expat’s life of leisure in far-off Singapore. So Sid, who shuns social media, challenges Cassie to reconnect through old-fashioned letters.

Soon, the letters become a kind of mutual confessional that have real and soul-satisfying effects. They just might have the power to help Cassie save her marriage, and give Sid the strength to get her life back on track.

But first, one of Cassie’s infamous lapses in judgment comes back to bite her, and all of the letters wind up in the one place you’d never, ever want to see them: the Internet . . .

About the author:

The second book is a mystery, Your Killin’ Heart by Peggy O’Neal Peden. This was the winner of the Malice Domestic Competition for Best First Traditional Mystery Novel.  Set in Nashville, it introduces Campbell Hale, the owner of a travel agency. When she gets the chance, she can’t resist a visit to the mansion of mysterious country icon Jake Miller. But, when she pokes around, she finds a body. Campbell can’t resist prying through the deceased star’s life, looking for a killer. With her love life in tatters, she has time. But someone seems to be tracking Campbell.
