This past weekend, I participated in an outdoor book signing at a dog agility trial. Makes sense, right? Dog lovers will adore the Ginny Reese Mysteries! As a matter of fact one competitor advised a buyer not to start reading An Embarrassment of Itches until after the event was over because she’d started it the night before and stayed up far too late to be at her best for the competition. What better endorsement than that? Even though I did feel a little guilty…
All weekend long, I was fanning myself in 80 degree weather and slathering on sunscreen, but now, only forty-eight hours later, it’s only 43 degrees and we’re under a freeze warning for tonight. I made bread and potato soup this morning, have a fake fireplace playing on YouTube, and some light jazz playing in the background while I work on a Ginny Reese holiday novella. I still need a title for it, so I thought we could play a little game.
This pet and holiday themed mystery features a Secret Santa mixup and is focused on a Christmas caper as opposed to murder. Drop your suggestion in the comments and if I select it, you’ll receive an acknowledgement as well as a little gift package from me. I’ll also choose three people at random from the comments to win a $10 Amazon gift card–and we can all use that for the holidays, right? Contest ends Nov 15th because I have to have a title by then! Be sure to share this with your cozy mystery loving–and dog loving–friends!
Maybe “The Shepherd’s Tail”? Ooh, or what about “Barking All the Way”?
Oh, I love both of these! I may end up using them in the future if I don’t use them this go round! You’ll definitely get acknowledgment if I do–and you’re in the running for the gift card too!
Wow, awesome! I’m glad I was a little helpful!
Very much so, thank you!
Hey, I wanted to let you know I’m going with your suggestion, “Barking All the Way”! I actually changed the story so this title fits even better, I love it so much!
Let me know where I can send you your gift card! mckennadeanromance@gmail.com
Sorry if this already posted; I couldn’t see it, so I’m submitting it again just in case. My ideas are “The Shepherd’s Tail” or “Barking All the Way”!
No worries, the site was set to moderate comments, and I didn’t realize it! Love your suggestions!
Secret Santa’s Naughty List.
Oh, that’s a good one! Definitely a contender, thank you!
Barking up the Wrong Christmas Tree?
Cute cover!
Hah, I’ve used barking up the wrong tree to describe the actions of a character in the series, so that’s a good one. Thank you–on both counts!
How about the Canine Christmas Caper?
I do like the alliteration of that! Will add it to the list–thank you!
Mistletoe and mischief
Oh, that’s a fun one and has the advantage of alliteration too!
