Fans of Clare O'Donohue's Someday Quilts Mysteries have to wait another year for the release of The Widower's Choice, the 5th book in the series - but they won't have to be without their favorite quilt group/amateur sleuths. Clare O'Donohue is releasing a special 84-page e-story called CATHEDRAL WINDOWS, on November 13th, priced at $2.99 and downloadable to e-readers and computers.
But 5 lucky TQS members will be receiving their copies FREE. And exclusive to TQS - they will receive the story 48 hours before it is available to anyone else. All you have to do is post a comment at www.clareodonohue.com/blog and you'll be entered in a drawing. Winners will be announced on Nov. 11th.
Look what's in store...
Christmas is just around the corner in the Hudson Valley. Nell and her friends at the Someday Quilts shop should be making eggnog and finishing up the stitching on their last homemade gifts, but when an arsonist strikes and a beloved teacher becomes a suspect, the ladies rally behind him to clear his good name. Will they succeed in time for him to spend Christmas among loved ones or will this be a chilly winter for the town of Archers Rest?
