Congratulations to the winners of the last contest. Laura Childs’ Ming Tea Murder goes to Libby D. from Boca Raton, FL. Ripe for Murder by Carlene O’Neil was mailed to Shirley M. from Dallas, TX. I mailed the books yesterday.

Since I’m attending a conference, I’m kicking off this week’s contest a day early, but it will end on Thursday evening as usual. So, you have a little more than a week to enter.

I’m giving away mysteries involving books this week. Miranda James’ No Cats Allowed is the latest Cat in the Stacks Mystery. There’s an Acting Library Director at Athena College, and librarian Charlie Harris isn’t happy when he’s told he can’t bring his Maine Coon cat, Diesel, to the library as usual. But, Charlie isn’t the only one who doesn’t agree with the brash man’s decisions. And, it isn’t long before someone takes the man out of circulation, permanently. Now, Charlie has to help a friend who seems to top the suspect list.

Denise Swanson’s latest Devereaux’s Dime Store Mystery is Between a Book and a Hard Place. Shadow Bend’s library closed years earlier because of budgetary problems. When a wealthy benefactor offers to reopen it, everyone is thrilled. But, Devereaux (Dev) Sinclair isn’t so excited when she realizes her runaway mother’s latest husband, Jet, is the donor. She suspects Yvette and Jet have hidden motives, but she still feels obligated to help her mother when Jet is murdered and Yvette seems to be the logical suspect.

Which book-related mystery would you like to win? You can enter to win both, but I need separate entries. Email me at Lesa.Holstine@gmail.com. Your subject line should read either “Win No Cats Allowed” or “Win Between a Book.” Please include your name and mailing address. The giveaway will end Thursday, April 14 at 6 PM CT.
