Surprise! Arsenic for Tea turns out to be GREEN!

Hello and welcome to the amazingly bumper publishing year that is my 2015! Arsenic for Tea (Wells & Wong 2) is out in the UK this month, Murder is Bad Manners (the US edition of Murder Most Unladylike) is out in North America in April, and First Class Murder (Wells & Wong 3) is out in the UK in July. It gives me palpitations, but mainly in a good way.

Anyway, I wanted to celebrate all of this bookish goodness with you, and so I am currently running three(!) Twitter giveaways for the three editions of my books currently in existence. (Before you ask, I am using Twitter because my last attempt to run a giveaway via this blog went horribly wrong. If Sierra Davenport reads this, a copy of the book is still waiting for her. Sierra, email me please!)

Two are UK-only giveaways, and one is US-only, and I reserve the right to choose another winner if I discover that the first person I pick is from the wrong territory. Not because I don’t want you to have the book, but because I would get in horrible trouble with my publishers, who I like a lot.

So…

To win a signed copy of Murder Most Unladylike, retweet this tweet and follow my Twitter account before noon UK time on the 9th January.

To win a signed copy of Arsenic for Tea, retweet this tweet and follow my Twitter account before noon UK time on the 9th January.

And to win a signed copy of the ARC (advanced review copy) of Murder is Bad Manners, retweet this tweet and follow my Twitter account before noon EST on the 9th January.

These competitions are now CLOSED. The winners have been contacted, and I’ll be posting out their books soon! Thanks for playing.
