Katherine Hall Page Contest!!!

June 4, 2009

Agatha Award winner Katherine Hall Page just contacted me and told me about a contest she will be having. The prize is a signed advanced copy of her new book, The Body in the Sleigh, which is due out in October.

To enter, click here: www.katherine-hall-page.org

The Body in the Sleigh is the 18th in the Faith Fairchild Mystery Series, and for those of you who love seasonal/holiday mysteries… add this one to your Christmas list! (I know I will!)

I won’t give away all of the book’s “happenings,” but I will tell you that Faith and her husband (the Reverend Thomas Fairchild) will be enjoying an unusual holiday season. The Reverend is home while recovering from a recent surgery, which means there will be more time to spend together as a family. Unfortunately Faith finds an atypical sleigh passenger in an antique sleigh…

PS>>> Did you know that Katherine Hall Page is the first person to win three categories of the Malice Domestic Agatha Awards?

Yep!

Katherine Hall Page won the Agatha Best Novel in 2005 for The Body in the Snowdrift and was nominated in 2002 for The Body in the Bonfire. In 1990 she won the Agatha Best First Novel for The Body in the Belfry. And, in 2001 she won the Agatha Best Short Story in 2001 for The Would-be-Widower and was nominated for The Two Marys in 2004.

That’s a whole lot of Cozy Mystery reading!
