Congratulations to the winners of the last contest. Linda B. from Elk River, MN won Forty Dead Men by Donis Casey. Terry Shames’ A Reckoning in the Back Country goes to Aleta A. from Janesville, Iowa. The books will go out in the mail today.
On Wednesday, I reviewed Amy Willoughby-Burle’s novel The Lemonade Year. The publicist gave me two copies of the book to give away. This is the story of a messed up family, told by Nina Griffin. Nina’s father just died. She’s divorced from her husband, and their fifteen-year-old daughter is not at all happy with that situation. Her job as a food stylist and photographer is in jeopardy, and she’s spending her time taking pictures of lemons for a book called 32 Ways to Make Lemonade. Her brother is home from prison. And her wonderful sister Lola has memory gaps as a result of a childhood car accident. It’s a totally messed up family. And, they’re delightful.
If you would like to try to win one of the copies of The Lemonade Year, email me at Lesa.Holstine@gmail.com. Your subject heading should read “Win The Lemonade Year.” Please include your name and mailing address. The giveaway will end Thursday, April 5 at 5 PM CT. Entries from the U.S. only, please.
