Holiday Mystery Lists

I love lists, and I post holiday themed lists on my blog Mystery Fanfare. It's a great place to look for the most up-to-date list -- from Halloween to Mother's Day to Veteran's Day to Christmas (which is actually split into 4 posts).

Find all the Holiday Mystery Lists in one place on the Mystery Readers International website. Find any titles or authors missing? email me at: janet @ mysteryreaders.org

Call for Guest Posts on Mystery Fanfare!

I'm following Lesa Holstine's lead. Lesa is the force behind Lesa's Book Critiques. She posted on her page the offer to feature even more authors on her blog in this time of unavoidable canceled appearances and canceled book events. I'm making that same offer to authors on my MysteryFanfare blog. Love to have more guest posts!

Author posts should be 500-1000 words, about whatever you'd like to share with readers. Writing? Reading? Research? Hobbies? Your dog? Awards? A recipe? It's up to you. Make it interesting and fun. Add a title, photo (or bookcover), and a 2-3 sentence bio/tagline. Deadline: Whatever works for you. Let me know, so I can schedule.

We all love books and mysteries. We will get through this weird time together.

And, check out your favorite blog to see if this invitation is also on offer there!
