Winners and A Christmas Crime Contest

Congratulations to the winners of the stormy contest.  Kathryn Casey's The Killing Storm will go to Jody C. of Manhattan, KS.  Carol-Lynn R. of Winthrop, Maine will received Kenneth Abel's Down in the Flood.   In addition, Wendy A. of Ferndale, WA  won the copy of Dear Mrs. Kennedy by Mulvaney and De Angelis.  I'll let the publicist know about that one, and the other books will go out in the mail tomorrow.

I'm kicking off the season with a Christmas Crime contest.  I have books by two of the biggest names in the mystery world.  Would you like to win the new Margaret Maron book, Christmas Mourning?  Judge Deborah Knott is looking forward to a family Christmas celebration when a tragedy strikes North Carolina's Colleton County.  The community is devasted by the death of a cheerleader in a car crash.  But, her death wasn't an accident, and there may be more live slost if Deborah can't help the sheriff's department find why she died.



You just know Donna Andrews' Six Geese A-Slaying is a little lighter than Maron's book.  Meg and Michael's house is serving as the marshalling point for the annual Christmas parade, and, naturally Meg is organizing it.  As all the groups assemble for "The Twelve Days of Christmas" parade, Meg's nephew finds Santa dead.  It's up to Meg and Chief Burke to solve the murder, and save Christmas.

Which book do you want to try to win, Christmas Mourning or Six Geese A-Slaying?  You can enter to win both but I need separate entries. Email me at lholstine@yahoo.com. Your subject line should read either "Win Christmas Mourning" or "Win Six Geese." Your message should include your mailing address. Entrants only in the U.S., please.


The contest will end Thursday, Nov. 25th at 6 p.m. MT. The winners will be selected by random number generator. I'll notify the winners and mail the books the next day. Good luck!
