Winter 2005 Lady M apologizes for the long absence of this column. The past months have been extremely busy and involved a lot of moving around. Life has quieted down after the holidays.

Remember, if you want your newly released book to appear in this column, you should read the information below the column and follow the instructions.Submit through Lady M's mail box. Agroup of Minnesota writers has banded together to form Crime Wave. They promote members books and do joint signings at bookstores. Their latest clever postcard announced four releases. Lady M receives the card because of her membership in another Mystery group rather than a submission to this column, but the cleverness of the card and promo idea make the books deserve to be mentioned even though they don't meet our submission rules. You can check out the group's website at http://www.MinnesotaCrimeWave.com. The authors and their books are:Blood Hollo, Kurt Kruger; An Intimate Ghost, ellen Hart; Dancing Dead Deborah Woodworth; Old Silver, Carl Brookins. All are available in bookstores.

If you want your book posted in Author Spotlight on Lady M, send the following information: title, author, publisher name, hard, trade or mass-market, price, and where readers can buy the book (bookstores, publisher's web site address, from the author's site or by email. etc.) It doesn't do any good to promote a book if the reader can't find it. Also give a brief blurb about the book so readers know if it's one they'd like. Sorry, but Lady M doesn't have time to go to sites and dig out information about books. Latest
