Comparing Apples to Socks

by Gayle Leeson

What in the world do "apples" and "socks" have in common, you ask? They're both included in today's giveaway! Sort of. The apples are on the socks, but I think they count. That's because my giveaway today revolves around the latest book in the Down South Cafe series, Apples and Alibis. As you can see from the photo, I'm giving one U.S. reader the opportunity to win a pair of Hot Sox (with apples), an Apples and Alibis charm, and a printed $10 Amazon gift card (not pictured). The giveaway is open to both U.S. and international readers; however, if an international reader wins, she/he will win a $15 Amazon e-gift card.

To enter today's giveaway, please comment below telling me your favorite fruit. Don't forget to include your email address so I can contact you if you're our winner. Entries will be accumulated until noon on Friday, July 10, at which time a random number generator will provide the number of the winning comment. Good luck!

That's the last time Amy agrees to do a favor for a stranger!
Down South Cafe owner, Amy Flowers is in over her head. Operating a cafe while hosting the first Farmers' Market in Winter Garden has her swimming in apples. And when an elderly woman calls the cafe, pleading for a delivery for her upcoming party, Amy relents, feeling compelled to help the desperate customer.


But when she arrives, the woman is slumped over her kitchen table, and Amy is catapulted into the middle of a small-town crime. Guilt-ridden for not arriving earlier to save the woman, she sets out to unravel the mystery surrounding her death. Now, between running the cafe and dealing with the chaos of the farmers' market, Amy is squeezing in a murder investigation, a run-in with her boyfriend's mom, and her own mother's quirky life decisions. Life can't get any worse...or can it? This cafe owner needs a break--in the case.
