Wanna See A Show? Two Years Ago?
Okay so we were cleaning up pretty strenuously the other day and found this in the sofa cushions: It's a ticket for a play that was performed more than two years ago. On the day after my spouse's birthday. It was clearly never used. Nobody here remembers buying the ticket or intending to see the play. But there it was, some 30 months later, in our sofa. I sense a mystery novel coming on...

But Wait, There's MORE! (More Free Books!)

Get a FREE copy of SPOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL!
This is NOT a contest.
I have 8 more copies of SPOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL, the latest Haunted Guesthouse Mystery, than I want to have. So I'm giving them away. Even though it's not a contest and you don't have to answer a question or do something silly to "win," there are a few rules:
1. You have to ask nicely, and that doesn't have to be elaborate. (In comments below.)
2. You have to be willing to pay the postage. It's usually between $2 and $3.
3. You have to live in the U.S. (Sorry, everybody else, but this is about postage.)
4. You can't have gotten a free book from me--contest or no contest--in the past year.
5. That's about it.
First 8 people who ask nicely ("please send me a book" is fine) in comments below will get a copy. We'll work out the whole give-me-your-address and the "how do I pay the postage" things later, and NOT in this public forum. Do NOT post your address below.
That's it. If you want a copy of the book and you're willing to pay the postage, you're on.

CONTESTS! (3!)
Let's celebrate! It's time to move some inventory, by which I mean I'm hip-deep in books and need to get some out of my house and into yours. So let's have a contest. No. Let's have THREE contests! And let's make them as completely subjective and random as possible!Contest the First: Guesthouse fans--search the Internet for mentions of E.J. Copperman or the Haunted Guesthouse series (no fair finding REAL haunted guesthouses!). Find your favorite review of a Guesthouse book, pick out a quote and enter it in Comments below. My three favorites (I told you this would be subjective) will get a copy of SPOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL. Contest the Second: For fans of the Samuel Hoenig Asperger's mystery series, you know of Samuel's special interest in a certain British pop band (if you just thought One Direction, you are disqualified). Name your favorite Beatles song below. If yours is one of the Comments I choose incredibly arbitrarily, you'll win a free CODE. I know, you're excited. Wait. That code will get you a FREE DOWNLOAD of the brand-new audiobook version of
THE QUESTION OF THE FELONIOUS FRIEND performed by Mark Boyett, who was interviewed here not long ago! You plug in the code, you get the book for free, and I will give out THREE codes for that audiobook from Audible.Contest the Third: You like Samuel Hoenig, but you hate having someone read a book to you brilliantly? No problem! I'll give out THREE FREE copies of THE QUESTION OF THE FELONIOUS FRIEND on actual pages. To win this one, search the Internet for people rumored to have had Asperger's Syndrome or high-functioning autism in history (you'll be amazed how many there are, and no, we have no idea if any of this is accurate). Choose your favorite and mention him/her in a Comment below. Then get friends to vote for your favorite also in the Comments below (and mention your name). Top three vote getters win! (I could make an election comment here, but I'm exercising restraint.)Yes, you MAY enter more than one contest, but you may only enter each one time (no multiple answers). And even then, since I'm being completely arbitrary about choosing winners, you may NOT win more than one of the prizes, to be fair to all.Winners will be announced in this space next Monday, the 28th! Entries must be in by, let's say noon Black Friday, the 25th!Complicated enough? Get to work!
