Thanks, Karen. I should hire you to be my publicist. 🙂
Pat, what a great reminder. I love your blog, it just gets better and better, BTW, to anyone reading this post, run – do not walk – and get your copy of The Desert Hedge Murders. It’s a great read.
Hi everyone — Don’t we love our books? The list of MWA giveaways is enough to send me back to the bookstore or library for another armful of wonderful stories I don’t have time to read. 🙂
Hi Clarissa — no, The Desert Hedge Murders is not going to be on Kindle until after the hardcover is remaindered. I’m currently in the process of getting cover art ready to put The Prairie Grass Murders on ebook, however, and that’s the first of the two Sylvia and Willie mysteries.
Have a great weekend!
Wow! What a great lineup of books! I was just over on Elizabeth…ummmm, Riley’s blog sounds like the killer Cozy tour is going great. Wish it was in my area!
Hope you’re having a great weekend
Nancy, from Realms of Thought…
