Yesterday, Mark Baker mentioned Ellen Byron’s forthcoming mystery, A Very Woodsy Murder. Release date is July 23. I’ll have an interview and a review close to release date. Mark and I agree that it’s a fun book.

This week, I have an unusual giveaway. Two lucky people will receive bears from Ellen. You’ll have to read the book to see how a bear plays a role. But, she’ll be sending out these bears, one to each winner.

Would you like to win a bear? You can enter by sending me an email at Lesa.Holstine@gmail.com. Your subject line should read “Win Byron’s Bear.” Please include your name and mailing address. The giveaway will end Wednesday, July 18 at 5 PM ET. Entries from the U.S. only, please.
