Kate is giving away autographed copy of SHOOTS TO KILL, 7th Flower Shop Mystery.

EVIL IN CARNATIONS— In this newest Flower Shop mystery, feisty florist Abby Knight is determined to help her roommate, Nikki, out of her singles slump and encourages her to give speed dating a try. Of course, Nikki wants the guy at the very bottom of Abby's list, Jonas Treat--a.k.a. "Treat the Cheat"--and figures just one date with him couldn't hurt. Her lack of better judgment catches up with her when Jonas is found dead—and evidence points to Nikki as his killer. To clear Nikki's name, Abby enlists the help of her hunky ex-Army Ranger boyfriend, Marco. But just when Nikki's situation looks dire, and Abby needs Marco most, his rambunctious extended family descends, turning Abby's hectic life into a disaster zone. Abby's patience is seriously wilting, but with a killer on the loose, she can't throw in the trowel. She's determined to dig herself out of this mess— before someone buries her instead…

Mary Jane is giving away a signed set of the first two Charlotte Adams mysteries: ORGANIZE YOUR CORPSES and THE CLUTTERED CORPSE.

DEATH LOVES A MESSY DESK— Recent murders have unbalanced professional organizer Charlotte Adams's life and ruined her favorite footwear. The new fuchsia and red wedge heels cheer her up briefly, but now her messy-desk client is missing, bodies are turning up in Woodbridge, and the police are strangely tight-lipped. Worse, her close friend Margaret appears to be dating a mystery man on the sly and even her buddy and landlord Jack Reilly has someone in his life: a woman with an agenda that does not include Charlotte. On the home front Truffle and Sweet Marie seem destined to fail therapy dog training. As the body count rises, there may not be enough Ben & Jerry's New York Super Fudge Chunk in the world to get Charlotte through this. Organizing tips included. This is the third Charlotte Adams mystery. Organize Your Corpses and The Cluttered Corpse also contained tips, ice cream, shoes and small, naughty dogs.

So it should come as no surprise when her co-worker’s bachelorette party at a local club quickly turns into a crime scene. What is surprising is that the dead club manager in the parking lot happens to be Annie’s ex-husband — and the bullet shells around his body match the gun she has in her car.
