MY AUTHOR'S HOLIDAY GIFT TO OUR READERS

You Get a Mystery! And You Get a Mystery! And You Get a Mystery!

‘Tis the season for holiday cheer, getting together with friends and family, festive parties, and exchanging gifts. I love this time of year because my author, Lois Winston, is too busy with holiday festivities to dream up new ways to torment me with assorted murder and mayhem. She says it’s her holiday gift to me.

 

But this year she’s also got a gift for all our blog readers.

 

Back in August, Lois attended the Killer Nashville Mystery Conference. One of the workshops she went to was about how to grow your newsletter subscribers list through Reader Magnets. Lois decided to give Reader Magnets a try.

 

What’s a Reader Magnet, you ask? It’s a freebie, usually a short story or novella, that readers receive as a thank-you for subscribing to an author’s newsletter. If you subscribe to Lois’s newsletter, you’ll receive a free e-copy of Mosaic Mayhem, one of the three Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mini Mysteries that are connected to the Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mystery Series (otherwise known as those books Lois writes about me.)

 

A reluctant Amateur sleuth, bumbling kidnappers, mistaken identity. What could go wrong?

 

So much for a romantic getaway...When cash-strapped mom and reluctant amateur sleuth Anastasia Pollack is offered an all-expense paid three-day trip to Barcelona, her only worries are whether her passport is still valid and arranging care for her semi-invalid mother-in-law during her absence. However, within hours of landing in Europe, she finds herself staring down the barrel of a gun and needing to convince a Spanish crime syndicate they’ve kidnapped the wrong person. Why do people on both sides of the Atlantic keep trying to kill this pear-shaped, middle-aged single mom, and magazine crafts editor?

Lois is also taking part in the “Detectives (Who Aren’t Detectives)” promotion this month, which features stories by authors who write about amateur sleuths. If you subscribe to any of the participating authors’ newsletters, you’ll receive a free mystery from them. This is a great opportunity to fill your virtual stocking with stories to read throughout the cold winter months ahead. And hopefully, you’ll find some new favorite authors.

Meanwhile, if you’re looking for some holiday-themed mysteries, Drop Dead Ornaments and Handmade Ho-Ho Homicide, the seventh and eighth books in that series Lois writes about me, are sure to put you in the holiday spirit. Both books are available as ebooks, paperbacks, hardcovers, and audiobooks, as well as in a 2-book ebook bundle. They also make great gifts for the mystery lovers in your life. So grab your beverage of choice and curl up in your favorite chair to join me as I’m once again involved in solving a murder or two (or possibly more!)
