Thanks for making Scone Cold Dead a #1 new release… and Wicked Harvest available for pre-order!

Thank you so much for making Scone Cold Dead such a success! It spent more than a week as a #1 cozy release, and is still selling like hotcakes… I am just thrilled. Amazon reviewer GiGi says “Scone Cold Dead is my favorite book of this series,” and Kathleen C. says, “This story has so many twists and turns that I had a hard time putting it down… I loved it.”  Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who took a few minutes to write a review… I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it!

And congrats to the Kindle Fire winners, Nana F. and Karen S.! If you didn’t win this time, don’t worry… there will be many more chances.  Follow me on Facebook and sign up for my Readers’ Circle–you can do that at the top of the page–to participate in the next giveaways, which will be coming soon! (Plus one more at the bottom of this post… read on!)

Second, I wanted to let you know that the Kindle pre-order is up for Wicked Harvest.  (It will be out in paperback at the time of release.) I just love the cover… it inspires me every time I sit down at the computer to put the finishing touches on the book!

In the sixth installment of the Dewberry Farm mysteries, it’s Oktoberfest in Buttercup, Texas, and homesteader Lucy Resnick is taking a break from her chores to enjoy a day of bratwurst, craft beer, and German gingerbread at Sweetwater Brewery. But the day takes a bitter turn when one of the brewery owners turns up dead, crushed by a giant sack of barley.

It doesn’t take long for Sheriff Rooster (not the sharpest tool in the garden shed) to finger the victim’s brother and co-owner, Simon Gustafson. But former investigative reporter Lucy senses that the blighted plants in her pumpkin patch aren’t the only things rotten in Buttercup. Will she find the killer in time?

Or will she be next in line for canning?

I hope you enjoy the next installment in the Dewberry Farm mysteries.  Speaking of Dewberry Farm, I’ll have the Amazon pre-order link to the Christmas Bundle Six Merry Little Murders, which includes Slay Bells Ring, a Dewberry Farm Christmas story, later this week… stay tuned!

And if you didn’t win the Kindle this time, here’s another chance… this week, I’m participating in a Jam and Murder giveaway for readers who love cozy and funny mysteries.  You can win one (or all) of 35 cozy mysteries and/or an e-reader, plus you get free reads just for entering.  Here’s the link if you’re interested! (The contest ends July 17.  Good luck!)
