Love Is Murder Winner!

The winner for my Love Is Murder contest is…Carolyn!

Congrats! Email me – info@loriarmstrong.com with your preferred format.

Thanks everyone who commented. I’m always happy to hear how readers find new authors.

The Julie Collins series is on hold for now — in a perfect world I’d get to write additional installments in Julie’s story arc, but that’ll be a ways down the road…

LOVE IS MURDER releases today! And a contest to win a copy!!

The International Thriller Writers Anthology LOVE IS MURDER releases today! This is an all-star line up of authors and I was thrilled to contribute a story!

Need a Mercy Gunderson fix? Well, there’s a sexy Mercy short story in this one titled HOLDING MERCY – here’s what Publisher’s Weekly had to say about the anthology and they loved it so much they gave it a starred review:

★Thriller 3: Love Is Murder

Edited by Sandra Brown.

If a person is known by the company she keeps, then the company of the 30 romance and suspense writers in this stellar all-original anthology speaks volumes about bestseller Brown. From Lori Armstrong’s sexy “Holding Mercy” to Vicki Hinze’s sweet “Wed to Death,” there’s romance aplenty. But there’s also loads of suspense, including Lee Child’s “I Heard a Romantic Story” and Cindy Gerard’s “Dying to Score.” Hankering for a flight of romantic fantasy? Take a trip to a bizarre Savannah neighborhood in Dianna Love’s “Deadly Fixation” or to the Chicago of Patricia Rosemoor’s “Hot Note.” The action spans the globe… Chockablock with nifty plot twists, these stories aren’t to be missed. (June)

So I’m holding a contest on this blog that will run through this entire week – just leave a comment and you’ll be entered to win a copy of LOVE IS MURDER in the format of your choosing from the vendor of your choosing – easy, right?

Here’s the comment question: How often do you find new authors when you read an anthology?

If you can’t pop into your local bookstore, here are a couple of buy links if you don’t want to wait:

LOVE IS MURDER on amazon.com

LOVE IS MURDER on B&N.com

Also — here’s the blatant self promotion — follow me on twitter @lorigarmstrong and stop by my Lori Armstrong Facebook page and give me a like, if you haven’t already I’m woefully short on people liking me ….

Happy Memorial Day

Thank you veterans, thank you to all branches of the military for your service.

Julie Collins books are back up on amazon.com

The distributor for the Julie Collins books had an issue with amazon.com and consequently several months ago, all four digital versions of the Julie Collins books were pulled from the kindle store.

Happily, the distributor and amazon.com came to an agreement, so once again, you can purchase all four of the Julie Collins books in a kindle digital format!!!!

Ooh, and they look to be on sale. Check it out:

BLOOD TIES for kindle

Guess Who is the Celebrity Shooter this weekend?

Second Amendment Sisters in Rapid City is holding a Ladies Handgun Shoot this weekend and they’ve asked me to be the “celebrity” shooter, which is cool, scary and sort of funny– I get to prove how lousy of a shot I really am, in front of a whole bunch of people! Kidding. Maybe Mercy will overtake my shooting skills – I can hope.

I’ve participated in this event before and it amazing, informative, and fun. It’s a chance to shoot all sorts of handguns, at the National Guard Gun Range, supervised by NRA Certified Range Safety Officers.

I am so pumped for this event and honored to participate!

Have a great and safe Memorial Day weekend everyone
