A Cleo Coyle Contest

Why wait for Pacific Time to kick off this week's giveaway? As the song says, "It's 5 o'clock somewhere," and I said the contest would start this evening. (Don't worry. The winners of last week's contest will be announced tonight just after 6 p.m. PT.)

Earlier today, I reviewed Murder by Mocha, the tenth book in Cleo Coyle's Coffeehouse mystery series. As Clare Cosi struggles with murders and business problems that could ruin the Village Blend, she also deals with family matters. As I said this morning, Cleo's mysteries have heart. And, she does, too. Someone can win a personally inscribed copy of Murder by Mocha, and Cleo will send it to you.

But, that's not the only book she's giving away this week. Roast Mortem, Coyle's mystery, and a tribute to the New York City firefighters, was just released in paperback. Someone was torching cafes around the city, and firefighters were dying in suspicious ways. Clare Cosi was involved in this investigation from the very beginning. Coyle will give someone a personally inscribed copy of this ninth book in the series.

Do you want to win Roast Mortem or Murder by Mocha? You can enter to win both books, but I need separate entries. Email me at lholstine@yahoo.com.  The subject lines should read, either "Win Roast Mortem" or "Win Murder by Mocha."  Include your name and mailing address in the body of the email.  Entries only from the U.S., please.

The contest will close Thursday, Aug. 18 at 6 PM PT when I'll draw the winners using a random number generator. I'll notify the winners, and Cleo will send the books. Good luck!
