Congratulations to the winners of the last contest. Christmas in Paris is going to Linda B. from Fort Wayne, IN. Glen D. from Yuba City, CA won Rhys Bowen’s Away in a Manger. The books will go out in the mail tomorrow.

A couple weeks ago, I gave away a copy of David Rosenfelt’s The Twelve Dogs of Christmas. I have a second copy to give away, a hardcover for yourself or to give as a present. It features criminal defense lawyer Andy Carpenter and his faithful golden retriever, Tara, in a story with Rosenfelt’s trademark humor. Andy takes on a case for a friend who rescues stray puppies. Just before Christmas, a neighbor reported her for having more than the legal number of pets. When that neighbor ends up dead, guess who the murder suspect is.

Or, you could win RaeAnne Thayne’s Snowfall on Haven Point. This one is a Christmas romance, bringing together a widow and her two kids with a grouchy sheriff. Andrea Montgomery only wants her children to enjoy their first Christmas in Haven Point. But, when a friend asks her to check on her brother, a sheriff who is recovering from a hit-and-run, she can hardly refuse. Then, a blizzard forces them together for the holidays.


Are you in the mood for a Christmas mystery or a romance? You can enter to win both, but I need separate entries. Because the titles are long, let’s make this easy. Email me at Lesa.Holstine@gmail.com. Your subject heading should read either “Win Mystery” or “Win Romance.” Please include your name and mailing address. Entries from the U.S. only, please. The contest will end Thanksgiving evening, Nov. 24 at 6 PM CT.
