Congratulations to the winners of the autographed copies of Flipped for Murder by Maddie Day. They’re going to: Teresa G. of Burlington, NC; Dorothy M. of Bothell, WA; Sandy O. from Milford, OH; and Mona B. of Fort Worth, TX. The books are going out in the mail tomorrow.

I’m kicking off Christmas book giveaways with a two-pack, books in the Cherry Cola Book Club series. Enter to win the books to give as presents, or for yourself. Or, give them to your favorite librarian because Ashton Lee’s books feature Maura Beth Mayhew, the librarian in Cherico, Mississippi. The books are all autographed. Two winners will win copies of The Wedding Circle and A Cherry Cola Christmas. If you haven’t read the books, they take place in a small town, and they involve the politics and people of that town, often in relationship to the library. The Wedding Circle, naturally, involves Maura Beth’s wedding, but also plans for the new public library.

There is trouble in Cherico in A Cherry Cola Christmas. The town’s suffering through an economic downturn. Librarian Maura Beth turns to the Cherry Cola Book Club, asking everyone to come with uplifting stories, suitable for the holidays. Amidst a time of worry and grief, there are stories of hope and joy to lift up the community.

If you’d like to win an autographed set of these books, email me at Lesa.Holstine@gmail.com. Your subject heading should read, “Win Cherry Cola Books.” Please include your name and mailing address. Entries from the U.S. only, please. The giveaway will end Thursday, November 19 at 6 PM CT.
