As you’re reading today’s post, I’m getting ready to attend Malice Domestic, a wonderful yearly convention of mystery authors and fans that will be held in Bethesda, MD May 3rd-5th. I’ll be taking part in Malice-Go-Round, speaking on a panel about how season affects story, and doing a book signing. At the conclusion of Malice Domestic, I’ll be heading to Oakmont, PA for the annual Festival of Mystery on Monday, May 6th.

At the conclusion of Malice Domestic, I’ll be heading to Oakmont, PA for the annual Festival of Mystery on Monday, May 6th.
However,
there’s also something else going on over the next three days that I’m very excited
about -- the Book Lovers’ Buffet.
A group of
authors, many of them bestselling and award-winning authors, have gotten
together to offer the Book Lovers’ Buffet, a special “Bouquet of Books” sale
running from May 1st through May 3rd. During these three days, more than 175 e-books
are reduced in price to just .99 cents. Categories include contemporary romance,
young adult, mystery & suspense, historical, paranormal, and more.
I’m taking
part in the sale with Hooking Mr. Right,
one of my award-winning contemporary romances, written under my Emma Carlyle
pen name. Hooking Mr. Right is a
story about a guy, a girl, and a matchmaking cat. And because some people believe
the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, there are also some
mouth-watering recipes included.
If the chance
to buy over 175 e-books for only .99 cents each isn’t enticing enough, there
are also prizes galore. Visit the Book Lovers’ Buffet website for a chance to win gift cards to your choice of online retailers. $400 in gift
cards are up for grabs!
So click on
over to the Book Lovers’ Buffet and fill up your Kindle or Nook full of great
summer reading before the sale ends. After May 3rd these books will go back to
their regular prices.

What a great idea for joint promotion! I hope it's successful for you, Lois. And, have a great time at Malice!
Thanks, Beth! And thanks to all the Book Lovers' Buffet authors who have posted. Hope you all have tons of sales.
Thank you so much for spot lighting the Book Lovers' Buffet, Lois! My $.99 Urban Fantasy, SHADOW'S EDGE, is taking part in the menu.
Everyone fears what hunts in the shadows—especially the monsters…
It takes a monster to hunt one, and for Raine McCord, forged in the maelstrom of magic and science, she’s the one for the job. In a world where the supernatural live in a shadowy existence with the mundane, a series of disappearances and deaths threatens the secrecy of her kind and indicates someone knows the monsters are alive and kicking. Partnering up with the sexy and tantalizing Gavin Durand proves to be a challenge as dangerous as the prey she hunts.
When the trail points back to the foundation which warped Raine’s magic as a child, her torturous past raises its ugly head. Gavin and Raine sift through a maze of lies, murder and betrayal to discover not only each other, but the emerging threat to them and the entire magical community.

Thanks for having us! I have LEASHED for sale at .99, the first book in my Going to the Dogs series. Here’s a short blurb:
And they call it puppy love!
When Jack falls head-over-paws for cute and cuddly Jill next door — that creamy coat, those soft brown eyes, and, yowza, those long legs, he simply cannot help himself. Bing, bang, boom, a few weeks later, Jack has some ‘splaining to do when that cute female is with puppies. Jack’s going to be a father, trouble is his lady love’s owner and his owner need a little shove into love. Being a large and in-charge Great Dane, that’s no problem for Jack. With a little cooperation and a little matchmaking, some nudging, whining and puppy dog eyes, hopefully, everyone will live happily ever after together.
