Giveaway! Win a copy of Mary Kay Andrews’ “Fatal Fruitcake”
UPDATE: We have selected a winner by random drawing and the winner has been notified. Thanks all for entering! We’ll do another giveaway soon. Happy holidays everyone!
Mary Kay Andrews’ short story “Fatal Fruitcake” has been re-released this holiday season to raise money for relief efforts following Superstorm Sandy.
Andrews originally penned the piece in 1997, writing as Kathy Hogan Trocheck, and decided to bring it out again after many of her publishing friends were affected by the storm.
We have a copy of the signed, limited edition item, complete with a jazzy cover and a dee-licious fruitcake recipe in the back.
Want it? Simply leave a comment below. We’ll draw one lucky winner at random. Good luck!
(By the way Mary Kay also is giving away a signed copy of “Blue Christmas” via her Facebook page. Click here for details.)

I ‘ve read most of Mary Kay Andrews books & will get to the rest, but I really miss the Callahan Gerrity series. They had wonderful characters. It would be wonderful to win this book.

I have read all the Callahan Garrity novels, all the Mary Kay Andrews novels and I was pleased to sit at Kathy’s table at Jacksonville State University during the On the Brink: Emerging Southern Writers Conference many years ago. I could use some good stuff to read while my son is going thru his treatments for his cancer relapse. Heck, he might even read it! I LOVE Callhan Garrity and I have a feeling there is a lot of Kathy in that character
