Winners and Give Me a K Contest

Congratulations to the winners of a New York State of Mind contest. Caryn St. C. of St. Louis, MO will received Notorious by Michele Martinez, and Christopher H. from Elk Grove, CA won the autographed copy of Death at the Old Hotel by Con Lehane. The books will go out in the mail tomorrow.

If you enjoy short stories by crime writers as much as I do, you'll want to enter to win Killer Year: Stories to Die For... from the Hottest New Crime Writers, a collection edited by Lee Child. Laura Lippman wrote the Afterword in this book that includes stories by Ken Bruen, J.T. Ellison, Gregg Olsen, and others. I have an ARC to give away in the contest.

Or the other K stands for Kathy in Kathy Reichs. Bones to Ashes is an ARC of the latest book featuring Temperance Brennan. Since Reichs' books are the inspiration for the Fox TV series, Bones, they've become even more popular than they were. This latest book could be read even if you've never read a previous crime novel by Reichs.

Would you like Killer Year or Bones to Ashes? If you'd like to enter for both books, please send two emails. Email me at Email me!. If that link doesn't work for you, the email address is: lholstine@yahoo.com. Your subject line should read Win Killer Year or Bones. Your message should include your mailing address. Entrants only in the U.S., please.

The contest will end Thursday, April 24 at 6 a.m. PT. Jim will draw the winners at that time. The winners will be notified, and the books will go out in the mail the next morning. Good luck!
