Dear Reader,

I hope you’re having a lovely Autumn, with plenty of time to curl up with a good book. Here in the California desert, this is a wonderful time of year, when the heat (finally) begins to abate, and we can step outside without immediately bursting into flames.

To celebrate the season, I’ve teamed up with 14 of my favorite mystery writers to bring you the How It Started Giveaway—fifteen readers will each win the first book of a series they’ll adore! Fifteen winners gives you pretty good odds, so what are you waiting for?

Prizes include:

Homicide in Hardcover by me

Books Can Be Deceiving by Jenn McKinlay

Murder at Honeychurch Hall by Hannah Dennison

The Cracked Spine by Paige Shelton

A Very Woodsy Murder by Ellen Byron

Death by Cashmere by Sally Goldenbaum

Fatal Feast at Bramsford Manor by Darci Hannah

Ill-Fated Fortune by Jennifer J Chow

Murder on Cape Cod by Maddie Day/Edith Maxwell

Stay cozy,

Kate
Smart. Funny. Murder.
