My website is currently down. Not sure what's going on, but I'm hoping to get it resolved soon. I say that having no idea how long it will take or if I submitted the help form correctly (I'm using the term "form" loosely, as the only field on it was a checkbox to make sure I'm not a robot). Ain't technology grand? I rarely use the word "ain't," but I've been practicing my Southern speak as research for Cozy Cat Caper Mystery book 23, Crash in Cherry Hills, which releases today! (And no, the timing of my website fail hasn't escaped my notice.) At any rate, I've set up a temporary page for my Paige Sleuth books. Apologies for any inconvenience, and please email me at marlabradeen@gmail.com if you need further assistance in locating my books.
Now on to the fun stuff! I'm giving one person who comments on this blog post their choice of the following two cozy mysteries:
Cracked to Death by Cheryl Hollon
When a treasure hunt leads to deadly plunder, it's up to glass shop owner Savannah Webb and her trusty investigative posse to map out the true motives of a killer...
It's the dog days of summer in St. Petersburg, Florida, and Webb's Glass Shop proprietor Savannah Webb has an eco-friendly plan to help locals escape the heat--a recyclable bottle-crafting workshop taught by reticent store manager Amanda Blake. Turns out, the class is a bigger smash than expected, thanks in part to a pair of staggeringly old bottles brought in by snorkeler Martin Lane...
Linked to a storied pirate shipwreck, the relics definitely pique Savannah's interest. But intrigue turns to shock when Martin's lifeless body washes ashore the next morning, another glass artifact tucked in his dive bag. With cell phone records connecting Amanda to the drowning, Savannah must voyage through unchartered territory to exonerate her colleague and capture the twisted criminal behind Martin's death...

Off the Books by Lucy Arlington (aka Susan Furlong)
The Novel Idea Literary Agency has planned a wedding-themed week for Inspiration Valley, celebrating not only North Carolina’s best vendors but also some of the agency's most popular bridal books. The fact that Lila can use the event to plan her own impending nuptials is just the icing on the cake.
But wedding bells turn to warning bells when Lila finds a dead man facedown in the frosting. Soon it's discovered that the victim was connected to several Novel Idea authors, all of whom quickly become suspects in the case. It's up to Lila and her fellow agents to find the real killer before one of their clients winds up scribbling stories from behind bars...

I am definitely a fan of Susan Furlong, loved her Georgia Peach series. Not so familiar with Cheryl Hollon mama2bulls(at)gmail(dot) com
ReplyDeleteOne of the books on my to-read list is Susan's Splintered Silence, which I think is a bit of a deviation from her cozies but just as good I'm sure. Thanks for commenting and good luck in the contest!
DeleteI'm not familiar with either of these authors, but I would love to become acquainted with them! ��

DeleteHi. I'm sad to say I'm not familiar with either author. I'm a big proponent of shop local, so I'm always looking for local cozy authors. And, being a crafter & Floridian,Cheryl Hollon's Cracked to Death really fits the bill.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity, & introducing me to 2 new series!

My pleasure, Carol. Thanks for commenting and good luck in the giveaway!
DeleteI just heard about Susan Furlong today, but not Cheryl Hollon.
ReplyDeleteAnd I always manage to forget to leave my info until I've hit send, lol! Jeanine Carlson at somesmartcookle at aol dotcom. cookle has an L, not an i.
DeleteThere's something about the act of hitting Send that makes you realize you've forgotten something. For me, it's usually an email attachment. Thanks for stopping by and good luck in the giveaway!
DeleteI'm familiar with both authors, however I haven't read any of their books yet. Would really like to read either book.

I love reading about treasure hunting, too. I imagine actually doing it would be more frustrating though. I would probably never find anything! Thanks for visiting and good luck in the giveaway!
DeleteCheryl, random.org has selected you as my giveaway winner. Congratulations! Please check your email.
DeleteGot the books! Awesome! Thank you so much! ��
DeleteYay! Thanks so much for letting me know. Hope you enjoy them!
DeleteI am familiar with Susan Furlong, but I am definitely going to check out Cheryl Hollon's books. My technology frustrations are with my computer and when it won't do what it's supposed to. Thank you for the chance. kittygirl15401@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI share your technology frustration! Computers are great until they develop a mind of their own. Thank you for commenting and good luck in the giveaway!

DeleteYes, I have heard of both authors and have read Cheryl's cozies. I would love to win Susan's book! Thanks for offering this chance! lindaherold999(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling this was Susan's last book written as Lucy Arlington. I haven't been able to find any published since this one, at any rate. Thanks for visiting and good luck in the giveaway!
DeleteHi, Marlene Ezell here. My tech problem is my phone won't let me comment any way except anonymous. Therefore I just start off with my name.
ReplyDeleteI have read some of Susan Furlong's books but none of Cheryl Hollon's. Thanks so much for this giveaway.

I've noticed on the blogs that use Wordpress for commenting that my name shows up differently whether I'm on my computer or my laptop. Why that is, I have no clue. And only my computer lets me like comments using my Wordpress account. It's baffling!
DeleteCheryl A. is the winner of this giveaway. Congratulations, Cheryl, and thank you, everyone else, for taking the time to read and comment!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Cheryl A !
