A Free Gift For That New E-Reader!

Did you get a new Kindle, Nook or tablet for Christmas? Here is a post-Christmas gift for readers of my blog. If you go to Smashwords.com, and login, you can use the code below for a free download of Murder Among The Orchids. Smashwords will ask you to register but they will not bother you with emails. There are formats available for every device.

But wait! There's more! (I always wanted to say that.). If you read Murder Among The Orchids and leave a review at Smashwords, Amazon or Barnes & Noble, just let me know in a comment below and I'll send you a code for a free copy of the second in the series, Death Among The Deckchairs. You can leave your email in the comment. I screen my comments before they are allowed to appear so I will not publish your address. I will need to know which place you left a review and your on screen ID used for the review if it's different from your real name or the name appearing in the comment. Then I will send you a code for the free copy of DATD.

Enjoy your new device! I love my e-Reader. It certainly saves room in the suitcase and I can always find a book to download if there's WiFi--and nowadays, that's almost everywhere in the world!

Free eBook Giveaway! Death Among the Deckchairs

A cruise. A bikini clad body. What next?

All Casey wanted was a relaxing cruise where she could visit with her daughter, the cruise director, but suddenly she finds herself in the middle of a murder at sea. Who would have guessed the beautiful young woman dead in the deckchair next to her had an enemy who would use her love of the sun to end her life? When Max joins Casey, what she thought would be a romantic ending to her cruise becomes an intense search for evidence. Somewhere among all the dermatologists holding a conference on board ship is a killer. Is it the victim’s doctor husband? Or one of his co-workers? And how does the shark expert fit into the puzzle?

While I can't afford to give away a cruise (unless you have some way of making me a best-selling author with a huge advance) I can offer the chance to win a book that takes place on a cruise ship. Many of you probably received new eReaders for Christmas so here's a chance to win a download of Death Among the Deckchairs. Even if you don't have an eReader, it is possible with the Kindle app to download a version to your computer or smart phone. So here's how you get your free download. . .


Leave a comment below (not on my Facebook page but right here on the blog). In that comment, tell me what your dream cruise would be or tell me something that was outstanding about a cruise that you took. Leave your email address so I can contact you if you win. Please write it out as Your Name at mail dot com rather than as a link to avoid being harassed by those pesky bots that search for those things.

I will contact the winner/s (I'm guessing there will be more than one good comment) and send the code to download the book from Smashwords. That is the place where I can generate free codes for my books. You will have opportunity to choose whatever format you need--Kindle (mobi), Nook (epub), pdf, etc. I think there's even a way to just read it online.

Let's have some fun with this! Sure beats sitting at the window and watching it snow. You have until January 10 to post your comment. And be sure to pass on the news to other readers. If someone says you sent them to my blog, it's a guaranteed free download!

A Free Book!! Celebrate With Me.

March is a special month for me. It's my birthday month!! Yes, I'm claiming the whole month while my birthdate is really St. Patrick's Day. I'm as far from being Irish as you can get but that doesn't mean I can't be green for the day.

In honor of that, I'd like to save you a little green. All during March this year, I'm offering my cozy mystery ebook, Murder Among the Orchids, for free! The offer is only good through Smashwords.com. When you go to the link and order, it will ask for a coupon number. Enter GN29G and it will let you download the book for free. All formats are available so it doesn't matter what kind of ereader you have.

This book is the first in the Casey Stengel mystery series and the second, Death Among the Deckchairs is nearing the finish and getting ready for a summer release. If you "like" my FaceBook author page, you'll be able to keep up with the news and even get in on helping to select the cover for the book.

Enjoy! And do a little jig for me on the 17th.
