Oh, I have a fun giveaway this week. The contest will run until Thursday, Feb. 3 at 6 PM MT. It's a promotion for the upcoming March movie release of THE LINCOLN LAWYER by Michael Connelly. The movie stars Matthew McConaughey as Mickey Haller, Ryan Phillippe, Marisa Tomei, William H. Macy, Josh Lucas, John Leguizamo and more.I have 5 movie posters and 5 copies of THE LINCOLN LAWYER mass market paperback to give away. So, five lucky winners will receive both a movie poster and a book. I'm not sending them out; the publicist is. But, you need to send me your name and mailing address in an email to lholstine@yahoo.com. Your subject line should read, "Win The Lincoln Lawyer."

And, if you are one of those lucky people who received an ereader over the holidays, a group of suspense writers have an offer for you. I recently received this news release.
Navigating the Sea of E-Books
Nine top suspense authors join forces to promote quality e-books http://www.topsuspensegroup.com/
The e-book market is exploding. With over 700,000 e-books currently available and hundreds more added every week, it’s growing increasingly difficult to distinguish quality books from those that are unedited and written by inexperienced authors.
That’s why nine established, professional authors have formed Top Suspense Group, a site where readers are guaranteed to find top-notch, award-winning authors in multiple genres who deliver a great e-reading experience in their dozens of highly-acclaimed books.
"Readers can count on us," acclaimed author Max Allan Collins explains. "Every member of our group has already made his or her mark on genre fiction, whether it's noir, crime, mystery, thriller, horror or Westerns, and in some cases, several of these genres."
Top Suspense authors have each:
• Published multiple novels with traditional publishers
• Won or have been nominated for major literary awards
• Been internationally published
• Received critical acclaim from national publications
Many of the authors have graced the national bestseller lists and have had their work produced or optioned for film (the Oscar winning “Road to Perdition”) and television (the Emmy winning “Monk”). Our authors include:
Max Allan Collins • Bill Crider • Lee Goldberg • Joel Goldman • Ed Gorman • Vicki Hendricks
Paul Levine • Harry Shannon • Dave Zeltserman
This unique site provides a one-stop-shop of quality suspense fiction. As the e-book market continues to flood and overwhelm readers, Top Suspense will remain a succinct guide to quality, professional e-books written by today’s leading authors.
