Book Coach Mia P. Manansala, Plus Giveaway!
*** Giveaway closed. Congratulations to Zoe W., the winner! ***
I'm thrilled to announce that my author friend Mia P. Manansala has branched out into book coaching! What is a book coach? It's kind of like an editor and cheerleader all rolled into one. Or read Mia's definition, which is undoubtedly more accurate.
Mia recently did me the favor of critiquing an unpublished novel I have lying around, and I can tell you from firsthand experience that she is a thorough and insightful editor. That's no surprise when you consider how she's been a Pitch Wars mentor and is personally dedicated to improving her own craft. (Her debut novel, a cozy mystery, releases next year!)
To help celebrate Mia's new career, I've arranged with her to give away either a fifty-page manuscript review with in-document notes and coaching call, or an agent submission package critique, winner's choice. You can read more about Mia's services on her website. Please note, Mia's specialty is mystery and crime fiction, although she accepts most other fiction genres (no memoir or nonfiction, please).
Authors and aspiring authors, check out her website, and if you decide her services are right for you please enter the giveaway using the Rafflecopter below. The prize must be redeemed by December 31, 2020 and is nontransferable and nonexchangeable (additional rules are on my website). Good luck!

The Amicable Divorce is free for a limited time!
My chick-lit novel, The Amicable Divorce, is a free ebook download for a limited time. (Please verify all prices before downloading.)
Here's why you should read it:
Click here for download links.
Be kind to yourselves.
- It's silly, and who couldn't use some escapist fiction right now?
- Although it's silly, the storyline touches upon a scenario that I believe will one day come to pass. Not sure if I can say much more without spoilers, so skip to the next bullet point if you prefer to be surprised. For the rest of you, I'll leave it at this: bioengineering.
- It's the first book I wrote (16 years ago now!), and while I'm sure it is incredibly flawed (I don't dare read it again), it will probably always be one of my favorites if only for sentimental reasons.
- Vanessa (the heroine) may or may not have more problems than you do, but you won't know unless you read it.
- It's free!

Be kind to yourselves.

Thanksgiving Book Sale and Giveaway
*** Giveaway closed. Congratulations to Kara M., the winner! ***
Today is Thanksgiving in the United States, and what better way to show my thanks for all of my wonderful readers out there than to do a giveaway? This week I'm featuring paperback copies of two fun mysteries: The Case of the Tabloid Tattler by Perry Kirkpatrick, and You Can Lead a Horse to Murder by Tara Meyers. Lucky for me, I have had the pleasure of meeting both of these talented authors in person.
Perry is also hosting a fabulous Black Friday book sale starting tomorrow, November, 29, and ending Monday, December 2, 2019. All participating ebooks are either free or $0.99 USD, and Perry, Tara, and I all have free mystery titles enrolled in the sale. Stop by and fill up your ereaders!
As for the book giveaway, read on to learn more about these wonderful books, then enter for a chance to win using the Rafflecopter at the end of this post. Entrants with a United States mailing address are welcome to enter for a chance to win one or both books. Everyone else can enter for a chance to win one of the featured books, with the understanding that if the Book Depository does not ship to the winner's country they will receive an alternate prize of my choosing. Please see my website for the full rules. Good luck!
The Case of the Tabloid Tattler by Perry Kirkpatrick
"I'm Mia. I know how to write. Why's that a big deal? Because... I'm a cat."
Someone is telling the tabloids about Ms. Thornblood's every move. Is it the housekeeper? the cook? the maid? the handyman? The detective hired to solve the case isn't sure. Things are looking pretty hopeless until Mia, his talented cat, offers to spend a week at Ms. Thornblood's as a spy.
With time running out, and an embarrassing secret about to be revealed, will Mia be able to save the day—and solve her first case?

You Can Lead a Horse to Murder by Tara Meyers
Spirited Ember Burns is led back home to open her own veterinary practice, and her first client lands her in the middle of a murder mystery. When the evidence points to the horse as the cause of death, she vows to protect him.
But horses don't talk and neither do the dead, so Ember has to rely on her intelligence and instinct to get to the truth. A truth buried under layers of small-town secrets. Some that are big enough to get you killed.
Battling a reluctant Sheriff and pushy Mayor, Ember struggles to get her business off the ground while digging deeper. Why would anyone want to kill the local farrier? And who was plotting to stop her? As the town gears up for its centennial celebration, Ember is led from local ranches to the surrounding mountains in her quest. Can she unveil the true culprit before they get away with murder?
