Happy Birthday to me! Presents for you!

2/6/2015

On February 13th, I will hit the mid-century mark, and instead of hogging all the cake and presents for myself, I'm celebrating by giving away five (5) books from the Bridal Bouquet Shop Mystery Series.

To enter, just comment below with your choice of one book:

Bloom and Doom
For Whom the Bluebell Tolls

OR if you've read both of those, I'll put you on a list to be one of the first people to receive:

Floral Depravity which releases in October. (Just be aware that you'll have to wait a while to get your book!)

Make sure you leave your email address (nobody else will see it), so I can contact you if you win!

Be a friend and share the love. Please share this contest with your mystery-loving friends. And if you haven't already, let me invite you to friend me on Facebook, follow my Beverly Allen author page, and follow me on Twitter.

What are people saying about Bloom and Doom?

10/28/2013

“Bloom and Doom captivated my attention from the very first page. With the meanings of flowers skillfully woven throughout the story, it was as delightful as a freshly cut bouquet of ranunculus (radiant charm) and tarragon (lasting interest). Beverly Allen writes wonderfully engaging characters in a lovely small town setting. Audrey Bloom, the heroine, is quick-witted and clever as she unravels the mystery, which was a puzzler right up to the dramatic end. A thoroughly entertaining and engaging mystery! I can't wait for the next one!”--New York Times bestselling author Jenn McKinlay

"It’s an engaging bouquet of mayhem and murder. What a delight for cozy readers!"—Erika Chase, national bestselling author of the Ashton Corners Book Club Mysteries
