Today is the official release day for Happy Homicides. As I mentioned last
month, Happy Homicides is a
collection of thirteen cozy mystery holiday stories—nearly 800 pages of reading
material—by a dozen different authors, all bundled into one ebook. When the
holidays get you too frazzled, you can relax with a bit of murder and assorted
mayhem from some of your favorite bestselling and award-winning mystery
authors—Lois Winston, Joanna Campbell Slan, Neil Plakcy, Annie Adams, Jenna
Bennett, Nancy Warren, Sara Rosett, Camille Minichino (also known as Ada
Madison, Margaret Grace, and Jean Flowers,) Nancy Jill Thames, Linda Gordon
Hengerer, Joyce and Jim Lavene, and Teresa Trent.
And because we know budgets are tight around the
holidays, Happy Homicides is being
offered for the incredibly low price of only 99 cents! Not convinced yet? How
about a Bonus gift? We also have a free holiday gift for you. The authors put
together a bonus file crammed with recipes, craft tips, projects, and more.

An exciting day. I can't wait to mail a special crafting tool to the winner of the drawing.
Thanks for stopping by, Camille! (And to our readers, the drawing Camille referred to was for the FB release party.)
You know, this has been such a great project! I love the bonus, too. And I was introduced to a handful of new authors whose work I'll be reading.
Sounds like a lot of fun. Off to the Evil Empire I go.
Awesome!
You and me both, Joanna. Now all I need is time to read!
Anne and Angela, thanks so much!
Ordered and in my Nook! Can hardly wait to read it!

Nancy
