Peace…we all crave it, inner peace, world peace,
peace among squabbling siblings or feuding neighbors or rival political
parties…who among us wouldn’t benefit from more peace in our lives, right? Dona nobis
pacem. Give us peace. Or as John
Lennon said, “Give peace a chance.”
In celebration of Drop
Dead Ornaments, the next Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mystery, now available
for pre-order, we’re giving away this handmade Christmas Peace ornament to one
lucky subscribers of author Lois Winston’s newsletter (U.S. residents only). Not
a subscriber? You can remedy that by clicking here or on the link in the sidebar. Information for
entering will appear in the next newsletter, scheduled to go out on September 4th.
Now, if you’ve been following the blog recently,
especially on Mondays when we feature crafts, you’ve probably seen some posts
about Drop Dead Ornaments and will
remember that the story involves a Christmas bazaar where the local high school
students are selling handmade glass ball ornaments to raise money for the county
food pantry. We featured one of the ornaments two weeks ago. However, as much as we’d love to give away one of
these ornaments, we realized that no matter how well we packed it, the chances
weren’t great that it would arrive unbroken. Hence, we’ve chosen this fabric
ornament, bound to survive even the roughest of package handling.
The lucky winner will be chosen in a random drawing
on November 1st and notified by email.
Drop Dead
Ornaments will release on October
22, 2018, at which point the paperback version will also be available.

Ornaments
An Anastasia
Pollack Crafting Mystery, Book 7
Anastasia Pollack’s son Alex
is dating Sophie Lambert, the new kid in town. For their community service
project, the high school seniors have chosen to raise money for the county food
bank. Anastasia taps her craft industry contacts to donate materials for the
students to make Christmas ornaments they’ll sell at the town’s annual Holiday
Crafts Fair.
At the fair Anastasia meets
Sophie’s father, Shane Lambert, who strikes her as a man with secrets. She also
notices a woman eavesdropping on their conversation. Later that evening when
the woman turns up dead, Sophie’s father is arrested for her murder.
Alex and Sophie beg
Anastasia to find the real killer, but Anastasia has had her fill of dead
bodies. She’s also not convinced of Shane’s innocence. Besides, she’s promised
younger son Nick she’ll stop risking her life. But how can she say no to Alex?
