Thanks, Laura. That skillet was really heavy. I think you could really kill someone with that. Red is usually not my favorite color, and Le Creuset has a really neat green skillet, but red went with the story. I’m going to use that as a giveaway in the future associated with the book.

Carol, I’m glad you enjoyed the post. I hope you like the book. I’m expecting the first real book (not the proof) today and I can’t wait to hold it in my hands.

The post was a fun read, so I’m sure the book is too. I’ve enjoyed your writing in the past. Will have to get a copy of this one too.

Many sales, Marilyn!

Maxine,

Thanks for commenting and thanks for the compliment about the cover. I’ll pass it on to my sister. The print book is really neat the way Kim enhanced the cover with her wrap-around design.

Also, the winner of a copy of Murder at the Outlet Mall goes to Alicia McCalla. So let me know whether you want the e-version or the print and where to send it. Go to the top navigation bar and click on Contests, Winners Blog Drawing for instructions on how to claim your prize.

Congrats on your first “child,” Marilyn. CreateSpace can be harrowing, but they have a terrific support team. I’d recommend them to anyone. I hear a lot of good things about Kim Killion, too.

Glad I could help. Good luck with this story.

The best hand-holder is Linsey Lanier. She knows everything about it. And I didn’t even do my own formatting. So it should have been a breeze. But I’d be glad to answer any questions. Thanks, Mary.
