A New Year, A New Book, A New Giveaway!

by Julie Seedorf

Happy New Year from the crew at The Cozy Cat Chronicles! This blog began in the middle of the year and we have had our ups and downs. We are still fine tuning the blog. We hope you have investigated all the writers of this blog and their fine books. Stay tuned for 2016. We hope to grow and become a firm presence in your life.

I have been busy over the past few months finishing my new book, The Penderghast Puzzle Protectors. The residents of Brilliant Minnesota, which is the name of my new series, have been hit with a series of strange burglaries, someone is stealing pieces of their hardwood floors. They form a group to help the local police solve the mystery and the puzzle of Brilliant Minnesota that the founders left behind. There are twists and turns, a few dead bodies and lots of fun  you might not expect. Hopefully the new book will be out sometime in February.

I also am excited to announce that all four of my Fuchsia Minnesota Series books are now out in Audiobook. Since it is the New Year and my goal for today is to finish the last read of The Penderghast Puzzle Protectors before sending it off to the publisher, I am going to make this blog short and offer a random giveaway.

All you have to do is comment on this blog and after midnight tonight (of course, I am not staying up) I will choose eight winners, if we have eight comments or more to receive a copy of one of my four audiobooks. I will be giving away 2-Granny Hooks A Crook, 2- Granny Skewers A Scoundrel, 2- Granny Snows A Sneak and 2-Granny Forks A Fugitive. You can comment about the New Year, the old year or how you are feeling today or be silly and tell a clean joke, or whatever. Make sure it is G-rated or it will be deleted. Make sure you share this website with a friend so they can enter too.

I hope you also connect with all of us on our own blogs, sign up for our newsletters and check out our books. Start the New Year right with a Cozy Mystery. Reviewer Lisa A. Kelley  likes Granny and I wanted to also invite you to visit her website where you can view her reviews and find new books to keep you reading. Thank you Lisa Kelley  945880_10153887042942792_1484111262765586949_nfor supporting Cozy Authors and for the shout out and pictures of my books on your blog today.

Don’t forget to comment.

  2. I so totally love the Granny books! Will there be any more? It would be great seeing her solve some more mysteries!

    I no longer do New Year resolutions since I never kept them. Not sure I even remembered what my resolution WAS by the end of the week! LOL

    Have a Gappy New Year! I am certainly looking forward to your new books!

    2. Hi Kory, You are one of the winners. You were chosen to receive Granny Snows A Sneak but…if you don’t have any of the books it would be good to start with number one. I have enough copies to send you Granny Hooks A Crook if you would like that. Please email me at hermionyvidaliabooks@gmail.com with you email address. Congratulations.

  5. Happy New Year! I am a list person but I try hard every year not to get carried away with the resolutions list but instead just remind myself to be nicer and try to stay a little bit calmer.

    I love Granny and look forward to your new series. Thanks for making me laugh.

  13. Last year was hard for me taking care of my mom who lost her sight and knowing that I’m losing mone also. Granny kept both of us laughing and knowing she is on Audible now makes it even better because I will be able to continue to enjoy her latest escapades. The new year is bringing me my first grandchild, due in May, and a chance to introduce her/him to a great author when the Abu is older.

  15. I can’t do Audible (no way to download stuff — my only computer access is at the library), so no need to enter me. I was hoping it was a giveaway for a paperback, but oh, well.

  19. Dear Julie: I could not agree more about your philosophy and your rambling problem as I am both a grandmother and a talker/long winded person So that is just great with me that there area a “few” of us around, Julie. Liking the giveaway so much. I follow you and sure do hope to get to read this series as the books are released. I find the subject matter irresistible actually. 🙂 Wishing you much success and it was great to see our sweet friend Lisa’s comments today too. She is such a wonderful reviewer and blogger too. I will be checking for your postings as well, Julie. Signed: Grammy of three, Cynthia B. (I am not normally into rhyming just to let you know. haha)

    1. Thank you Cynthia. It sound like you and I would have fun together. I so appreciate you taking the time to comment and such nice comments. Lisa is great and very honest. We all love her, not for her reviews but for her kind personality. And she is honest about her reviews.

    1. Thank you Donna for entering. I am glad you took the time. My books are a little crazy but they are meant to give you a good mystery and make you laugh and take you out of the real world for a time. Have a great New Year.

  25. Learned about your site from Lisa K. Both series sound great. I travel from VA to NJ every couple of weeks to check on my mother-in-law. Audio books are a life saver.

    1. Hi Kathi, I think it is wonderful that you take time for your mother-in-law. I too have great daughter-in-laws and they are worth the weight in gold. Thank you for commenting. Picking winners soon.
