Congratulations to the winners of the last contest. Linda M. from Franklin, PA won Shelved Under Murder. Sara G. of Granite City, IL will receive Hitting the Books. The books went out in the mail yesterday.

I have one more week with an unusual schedule, so the time frame will be short again for the giveaway. And, I have multiple copies of both books. This contest will end Tuesday, October 16 at 5 PM CT. So, if you want to enter, do it soon.

First, a mystery featuring a dog. Burning Ridge is Margaret Mizushima’s latest Timber Creek K-9 Mystery. And, I hadn’t read the previous ones, so you can enter for this book even if you haven’t read earlier ones in the series. Officer Mattie Cobb and her K-9 partner Robo are called in to spearhead the investigation when a charred body is discovered in a shallow grave on Colorado’s Redstone Ridge. But, Mattie seems to have a personal connection to the dead man. When she goes missing, the local veterinarian teams up with Robo to find her as a fire races across the ridge.

Would you rather win a book about cats? The Cats Came Back is Sofie Kelly’s latest Magical Cats Mystery. Librarian Kathleen Paulson and her quirky cats turn detective again when a music festival comes to town. Kathleen stumbles upon a dead body, a woman who was a close friend, and spitting image of a famous singer who is participating in the festival. Which woman was the real target of the killer?

Which book would you like to win? You can enter to win both, but I need separate entries. Let’s make it easy since this is a fast contest. Email me at Lesa.Holstine@gmail.com. Your subject line should read either “Win Dog” or “Win Cats.” Please include your name and mailing address. Entries from the U.S. only, please.

As I said, this giveaway ends Tuesday, October 16 at 5 PM CT. Enter soon!
