Howdy! Hope you and your loved ones are safe and healthy.
Let’s talk about giveaways today. I recently extended the release date for Book 11 of the Pelican Cove series. Pancakes and Parrots is coming August 25 and I hope you already reserved your copy.

This will be my 20th main title. I still pinch myself to make sure I’m not dreaming. I always wanted to write, even when I was an awkward teenager who preferred being lost in a mystery book over anything else. I filed it away under ‘some day’ but a few years ago, I finally took the plunge.
I’m not here to reminisce.
Like every author out there, I have lofty dreams of reaching and entertaining millions of readers. But I am happy and grateful I have come this far. And this couldn’t have been possible without YOU.
I am planning to celebrate by holding a few giveaways. And I am trying to figure out what to give away, apart from my own books
-Books by other authors like Agatha Christie
-Kindle reader
-Cookware, Instant Pot etc.
-Anything else?
I am open to any suggestions, even specific products on Amazon. Product can be anywhere under $100, preferably around 60-70 bucks.
Please write to me at leenaclover[at]gmail.com or leave a comment below.

Let’s talk about Books
I read a lot of books, especially cozy mysteries. And I love the 1920s genre. But recently I read a historical mystery set in the Regency era. It’s worth checking out.

Have you checked out the Apple Orchard mysteries yet? Chelsea Thomas is offering a FREE book in this popular series. Offer valid for June 3 only.

Star Actor Shot Dead During Performance
Everyone thought the murder was part of the play at first…
…but the actor never stood up to take a bow.
The killer planned the murder well. Except for one tiny detail…
Miss May and Chelsea were in the audience. Now they’re hungry for justice. So they grab their wacky friend Teeny and pursue the case.
The clues the girls find are shocking. Could this murder have something to do with Chelsea’s past? Why are there mysterious junk removal guys destroying evidence all over town?
And what will happen during the second performance of the play?
As Chelsea and Miss May get closer to the truth they realize their own lives are in danger. Will they survive an attack by the killer? And will Chelsea finally get closure on her turbulent childhood?
You’ll love book seven in the apple orchard cozy series because it features delicious food, it’s got lots of laughs, and it’s filled with suspense.
“The perfect read for a cozy night in!”
