GIVEAWAY BELOW

| Large Print Edition |
I was told to introduce myself since some of you might not know me yet. My name is Hilda Bjorn, Bjorn with a J. My mother told me, when I married my late husband, that it means “bear.” He wasn’t one, though, unless you count a Teddy Bear. But that’s not important. He’s been gone so long I wouldn’t remember what he looks like without the pictures. And I can’t see the pictures without my wire-rim glasses. Now, where are...oh, here they are, on my head.
Anyway, what I—Oh, look! Here comes that darling cat. Come here, Quincy. He loves rocking with me on my front porch. Isn’t he darling?
You wait a minute, Quincy, I’ll be right back. I’m going to get him some crumbs from that last batch of Raspberry Chiffon dessert bars I bought at the Bar None. That’s where the nice lady works who owns Quincy. He’s always getting away and he loves to come see me.
There, see how much he enjoys this treat? I do, too, and neither one of us should be eating it, I suppose. I’ve got that diabetes stuff, but I’ll just do my pump.
Back to what I was saying. My eyes aren’t what they used to be. That nice lady, Julie Larson—she’s the one who put that bad man in jail and she’s also a friend of Chase, Quincy’s owner—gave me a book that other day and it was large print. I’m going to look for more of those. It’s just the thing for my old eyes. I set it down right…now, where did I put it? I’ll find it after Quincy goes home. His owner will be along soon. I think that’s her running up the sidewalk now. Quincy, let’s brush these crumbs away so she won’t know.
It’s me, Janet, the author. I have one copy of the first book in the series, FAT CAT AT LARGE, in large print to give away. Please either leave your email below or message me with it. I’ll pick a winner next Friday and mail it to you!
FAT CAT TAKES THE CAKE is the second mystery in the Fat Cat series. Please
check Janet’s webpage for preorder links.

When their former classmate Richard “Dickie” Byrd throws a high school reunion to gather support for his mayoral campaign, it drums up some not-so-sweet memories for dessert shop proprietor Chase Oliver and her friend Julie Larson. Julie would rather not reconnect with Ron North, the creepy kid who had a crush on her back in the day. His social graces haven’t exactly improved with age, but is he creepy enough to kill?
The next day, Chase is in the park testing a new cat harness for Quincy, who quickly proves that he cannot be leashed. But when his escape leads Chase to Ron’s body, the police wonder who else got away. Now, with Julie suspected of murder, Chase must prove her innocence before the real killer plans another fatal reunion.

I would be honored and so happy to have the large print! itsacatslife17 (at) yahoo dot com
ReplyDeleteI have been diagnosed with Sojourns disease and because of it my eyes dry easily and I find it hard to focus on the print. The larger print is much easier to read. If I was the one picked for this giveaway I would be very happy to be able to read it. [email protected]
ReplyDeleteWould love this.

I love large print books & think Fat Cat at Large is the book for me. After reading/reviewing it, I'll add it to the large print collection at the library where I work. 59-69% of Our patrons are elderly & need large print for reading. Thanks for the chance. MsKayLib at gmail dot com.

Large print books are sometimes hard to find and older people like me really enjoy it being a little easier on the eyes. Of course with cozy mysteries, I don't really think about that too often. Thanks for this opportunity.
ReplyDeleteI would love to get a large print edition. Thanks for the chance.

Love Fat Cat! Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteWould love to read this book and especially in the large print! By the end of the day my eyes are tired and reading paper books can be harder when the print is so small. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI love it when I read something in the voice of a book character. It kind of bridges the gorge between their reality and mine. I think Hilda is a hoot and I'd bring her over Raspberry Chiffon bars (sugar-free, unbeknownst to her, so she could be around to chat with for a long time). luann(dot)braley(at)gmail(dot)com.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a book I would love to read.

WOULD LOV THIS LARGE [email protected]
ReplyDeleteI need large print. Sadly. I love to read real books, not electronic books, even though I am told the print in electronic books can be adjusted. [email protected]
ReplyDeleteI NEED large print. Sadly. I love to read real books. I realize that the size of text on electronic books can be adjusted, but I would still rather hold a book in my hands than a tablet.
ReplyDeletelove large print books! thanks for offering a freebie! :) my email is [email protected]
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! I have the book and have read it. Loved it! If I win I'll donate mine the local veterans homes. They can only receive large print.
ReplyDeleteAs I get older the small print is difficult to read. A large print would be great to have to ease my eyes. [email protected]
ReplyDeleteLove the series, and my old eyes appreciate large print these days. Thanks for the giveaway. [email protected]
ReplyDeleteI have noticed that the large print books are great to take to the gym. Thanks for the chance.

I'm late getting here today. I think my bronchitis took a break and then decided to come back. Ugh. I just picked a number between 1 and 53 with Random.org. That's how many entered for this copy, including here, email, and fb messages--thanks for so much interest! The winner is Sheryl Booth, who messaged me on facebook. For the rest of you wonderful people, the large print IS available for purchase at Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Fat-Cat-At-Large-Mystery/dp/1410478262/ref=tmm_pap_title_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=) and BAM (http://www.booksamillion.com/search?id=6148733913259&query=fat+cat+at+large&where=All). I can't find it at B&N, but it's probably there somewhere. THANKS VERY MUCH!
