Ellen is giving away three copies of ARMED AND GLAMOROUS for three winners!
What's a mere fashion reporter doing in private eye school?! It's Lacey Smithsonian, wrestling with a career crisis. Stuck in the dead-end fashion beat in Washington, D.C., the City Fashion Forgot, Lacey feels unfulfilled and unappreciated. Maybe this private investigation class will give her the skills to break out of her fashion-beat rut. Maybe she'll get a clue to how her private eye boyfriend does his job. And maybe she'll even find a lead on a great non-fashion story. But first she has a problem: the dead socialite in the Jaguar and the fashion story that just won't die. Will her private eye class give Lacey a shot at the serious "hard news" beat she's been longing for? Or will it give a hardened killer a shot at her?

Beverly is giving away two copies of DEAD HUNT!
Sentenced to prison for the rest of her natural life, Clymene O'Riley is a beautiful, clever, cold blooded killer that forensic anthropologist Diane Fallon knows cannot be trusted. Diane supplied the forensic evidence that put Clymene in prison for one murder, with implications that she may have left a veritable graveyard of dead men in her wake. So what is Diane to do when Clymene reaches out from prison to her with a plea for help, and FBI profiler Ross Kingsley urges Diane on? The answer leaves Diane the prime suspect in a bloody murder and puts her in the path of an angry killer who wants her dead. Not even her haven at the RiverTrail Museum of Natural History is safe as a scandal over possession of stolen Egyptian artifacts threatens to turn Diane out in the street.
