Joanne Fluke to Visit NC

It's a great pleasure for me to announce that Joanne Fluke, author of the Hannah Swenson mysteries, will visit North Carolina in March—and I get to take her around the Triangle area! The folks at Kensington Books have graciously offered to sponsor a contest for advance readers copies (ARCs) of Joanne's newest mystery, Red Velvet Cupcake Murder. Let's make the contest fun—send me photos OR recipes of your favorite cake or cupcakes and I'll let my favorite cake eater choose the winners. Send the entries (along with your snail mail address) to me at MysteryHeel @ mac.com.
