I’m doing my first giveaway on Goodreads, beginning tomorrow! Actually, I’m doing two at once.
See, I switched publishers from my beloved Hydra to Three Fates, and I had some of the Hydra copies left, so I decided to give them away. So I went to Goodreads and I set up, you know, a giveaway. Two.
I only have three copies of this one. There is a peculiar formatting error all through it, where a new paragraph/tab is inserted at random. Don’t know what’s up wit dat.

This next one is really three-in-one, since I’m actually giving away all three books of the trilogy. There are some formatting oopsies and typos in book 3, alas.

So please, dear friends, if you don’t have these books, and you’re on Goodreads, do hop over and enter the giveaway! Or, if you’d rather, go to my Amazon page and buy new, clean copies of these and my other books. (Sneaky plug!)
As for the new story, I told you I was working on a new Mr. Sugar and Mrs. DiMarco story. Well, I finished it, submitted it, had it accepted, and now the anthology it’s in is available for Kindle! “Mr. Sugar v the Cake Thief” is part of MARDI GRAS MURDER.
Thirteen tales of crime set during the bacchanalia that is Mardi Gras. Featuring stories from Harriette Sackler, Marian Allen, Debra H. Goldstein and Nathan Pettigrew. The mayhem of Mardi Gras is served with a healthy dose of Cajun dishes and an unhealthy number of deaths. Dig into Bourbon Street Lucifer, Voodoo Honeymoon, a dish of Red Beans and Ricin, and other deadly treats.
It only cosses $2.99. And, if you want more of Mr. Sugar and Mrs. DiMarco, read their first adventure in “Mr. Sugar v the Martians” in LONNIE, ME AND THE HOUND OF HELL, only 99 cents.
Okay, my marketing friends tell me I should leave you with a Call To Action so, um, enter my giveaways tomorrow, and buy my books. ‘Kay? ‘Kay.
A WRITING PROMPT FOR YOU: Write a story set on or around Mardi Gras.

February 13, 2014 at 9:11amHi. Lovely books!
For some reason, when I was a young’un, the school was in the habit of sending kids on the train to New Orleans (for a price, Ugarte, for a price!) during spring break. Anyway, Mom and Pop bought me and Linda a trip, SO: I have actually BEEN to New Orleans!! I was @14 and couldn’t enjoy the whole deal, but…wow. Spanish moss, chameleons, Jackson Square, sidewalk artists, wrought iron fences, hidden gardens…. Oh, pralines. Cannot forget the pralines!
