Welcome to Booklover’s Bench, a website devoted to bringing good things to readers. We’re delighted to have you here.
Partings are bittersweet, but this one hits us in the heart a bit more. One of our founding members, Terry Odell, has left our ranks. She was the impetus behind creating a group of authors in a “lifeboat,” and since our inception has guided the ship. We’ve weathered storms in publishing houses and an ever-changing market dynamic and through it all, we relied on Terry to be our Captain. Her indelible stamp of forthrightness, diligence, and can-do remains with us and we will try to live up to her ideals. We wish you well, Terry. So long but not goodbye.
Please join us in welcoming cozy author Lois Winston as our newest Booklover’s Bench author. She’s been published since 2006, with sixteen novels in a variety of genres, including seven Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mysteries and two Empty Nest Mysteries. She has also written four mystery novellas. Lois is a champion of authors, often featuring them on her blog, Killer Crafts and Crafty Killers, and she’s been the driving force behind the successful Sleuthing Women anthologies. She’ll be featured on our Let’s Talk page later this month and we hope you will drop by to leave Lois a personalized welcome. Read more about Lois here.
Get to know us–links to our social media sites are in the left sidebar. Each month, we’ll be hosting contests and different ways to win our books and other exciting prizes. These can change in the blink of an eye–our authors are generous people and are constantly thinking of ways to reward readers.
Our monthly contest now features books as prizes for our friends and fans. The winner of the Rafflecopter contest will select a prize from our Prize Vault. Click Here to Enter
