On November 13th, Cathedral Windows, my first e-story will be released. It’s a weird new experience for me and I’m excited.
It came about because the 5th Someday Quilts book won’t be released in September of 2013… which will probably be here in a flash, but it seems like a long time away at the moment. Since it’s the first time there’s been a gap of two years between books I decided to fill it with two e-stories. Cathedral Windows is the first.
To thank you for your patience and loyalty to the series, I’m offering two contests. I’m giving away 5 free downloads of Cathedral Windows… I’m doing this contest with The Quilt Show with Alex Anderson & Ricky Tims.
Members will get the download 48 hours before anyone else, so if you really, really want to read this, join. There are two memberships – free and paid. The free gets you access to the newsletter and lots of cool stuff, the paid gets you access to the show. And believe me, you’ll want to see the show! It’s my go-to site whenever I want anything quilt… info, tips, chats, and pretty quilts. Plus you get Alex and Ricky, a pretty great team if I do say so!
If you’re not a member of The Quilt Show, you can still win a download – but you will get it on release day!
Thanks!!
Clare

I am a mystery fan and a quilter.
What could be better? Can’t wait for the whole book!
Just the small snippet of your e-reader book on my TQS newsletter makes me want to read it. Hope it is a great success.
I have enjoyed the first 3 of your 4 books in the Someday Quilts series. I just ordered The Devil’s Puzzle to find out what is happening and really am having a hard time imagining that I will need to wait almost another year to continue this wonderful journey with the quilters of Archer’s Rest!!
This holiday e-story will be a great interlude and just in time for holiday reading!!!!
Wow! Thanks for this opportunity! September of 2013 gives me an opportunity to get acquainted with the first four books. The series description sounds perfect!
I saw the notice on the Quilt Show and I love to read, mysteries are great and anything that contains quilt references makes it even better. I have not read anything by you, but will definatly be looking for it the next time I do the library e-books.
I am a mystery fan (especially yours!) and a quilter so this contest couldn’t be better!
I LOVE mystery stories!! I am also a quilter. I have read all of your books, so far, and thoroughly enjoy them! I prefer to own the books I like so I can read them again, and again, and again! It is exciting to learn that there will be the 2 e-books in the hiatus between books so I won’t go through withdrawal!
Thanks!
Donna
I saw the notice on the Quilt Show yesterday and I’am very excited to read these new mysteries. I am a quilter and love a good mystery. Can’t wait.
Love a good mystery and when you set it in a quilt shop, oh, my. My fav.
As a faithful TQS member & avid quilter, I love mysteries in this genre. Keep up the good work! I can’t wait to read your new book.
Always love a good mystery and a good read about quilting. I would love to win a free e-book.
I love a good mystery – a quilting mystery is even better and an ebook just puts the icing on the cake! Thanks for the opportunity and best of luck on entering the ebook world!
Just founded your books and love them
Sounds like a must-read! I would love to win a copy of your book!
Oh this would be so fun to get and read! I am a member of the quilt show, but just the free membership, I don’t have a budget that will let me be a paid member. But I have been a fan of Alex since she had a show on DIY! Thanks for the chance to win!
I’ve really enjoyed TQS since finding it earlier this year, but my first love is reading. Thanks for the chance to discover a new type of mystery to enjoy!
Enjoyed all of your books and look forward to these e-stories!
I just love your books! I feel good for days after reading them
I am a new member of the Quilt Show and can’t wait to explore a little more.
I really hope I win – mysteries and quilting are the best of both worlds!
I enjoy these books and look forward to future stories.
I love to read, I love quilting, and I love mysteries. I would love to win this!
Thanks for the opportunity.

I love Cathedral Windows! One of the first pillows I made used them. Would love to read the story as well — thanks for the chace to win a copy.
Can’t wait for the next book! TQS Member – love that site!
I love these books. Can’t wait until the fifth one comes out next year. Thanks for the chance to win the e-book.
Hmm. Will have to check out your books!
Well, Clare, I am sheepishly admitting that I have just heard of you and your books for the first time! But I love reading (especially mysteries) and quilting and discovering new (to me) authors so as soon as I’m finished putting my two-cents-worth in here I will be checking out what you have been writing. Thanks for the chance to win an ebook — that is new to me, too — and have fun with your time off! —Pat Y
Looking forward to your new book. When taking a break between quilt projects we can stay inspired by reading your quilty mysteries.
Thanks so much
I’m happy to read any quilt related stories.
I found out about your ebook from TQS. I am always looking for a good book! Thank you for the chance to win!
A good mystery about quilts! what could possibly be better?
Love your books and so happy to see this one about to be released. Can’t wait to get it and also Missing Persons. Have had some health issues and hospital visits and having mystery (plus quilts) has really helped when I was unable to do much else. Thank you.
Diana

I love anything and everything about quilting, so I’m sure to love your mystery.
Oh, what joy! A new story to read before Thanksgiving. Thank you.
I really love cathedral window quilts but do’nt seem to see any these days and would love to see the designs in your book
What a wonderful idea… short stories and novella’s online! And thank you for partnering with The Quilt Show. This is the first time I’ve been introduced to your work, but I’ll be looking forward to your new piece.
Oh goodie. I can’t wait to see “Who done it!”.

Nothing better for a quilter/reading fan – sounds like fun!
I’m always up for a new read! And, yes, The Quilt Show is a great resource.
I am a member of The Quilt Show, and since I just recently got a Kindle, it would be very nice to win a copy of your new e-book! Thanks for the chance!!

Thank you so much for the chance to win one for my kindle fire.
Keep up the good works.
I love mysteries and I love quilts, so the two of them together makes me a very happy woman! I’d love to win.
Best of many worlds, love quilting, mysteries and series type books.
I would love to win a copy of your ebook. Can’t wait to read it.
I like to read any quilting related fiction. I’ve just recently started listening to audio books, so winning this would be great! Thanks for the giveaway, Clare.
As both a quilter and an avid reader, your series is much enjoyed. I would love to read the new story as soon as possible.
Love your books, have got them and read them as soon as possible after release. looking forward to the next one.
Well, I love mystery stories & have also been an avid quilter for about 27 years now, so putting the two things together in a story sounds ideal. I’m new to all your books/stories, so this would be a great way to get to “know” you via your writing.
Love your books. Looking forward to your next Kate Conway title. Thanks.
Love your books!!
I’m a TQS member and would love to win your mystery! My favorite genre. Thanks for the opportunity.
Just read about the opportunity to win an advanced copy at TQS. Your book sounds wonderful.
Love your books! It would be wonderful to win a download of your Cathedral Windows! I’m looking forward to your book next September too! Thank you for the opportunity to win
Discovered you thru the Quilt Show and can’t wait to read your latest book.
Two of my favourite occupations in one go; a good detective-story and quilting! I’m really curious to read the whole story. The little portion I read recalled me of A. McCall Smiths stories which are among my favourites, telling stories of people and their interaction in a gentle and ironic way, not just filling it up with cruel details of the crime comitted. I see here that you’ve published other stories, and be sure that I’m going to nose them up somewhere. I’m really happy that The Quilt Show has presented you to us! Good luck with your future work!

What a fun give away–thank you. I’m a long time member of The Quilt Show and an avid mystery reader. So fun to combine my passions for quilting and reading.
Of course I want it! I love Nell and her friends and all their antics.
Thank you Clare!
Have never had a downloaded book and would love to try the experience. TQS comes through again! Cheers, Sewable
What a great idea! I will look forward to the ebook.
I love your books Clare. Can’t wait for the release. If I win that will be even better. Thank you and thank you Alex and Ricky for a great TQS – a member for many years.
I was just thinking I would like to read another book by you. I really enjoyed your last one.
Love the teaser!
Looking forward to a new story !
I enjoy mysteries and any other story with quilts included. I have not read anything by you but would love the opportunity to do so. Thank you.
I would absolutely love to win your e-books. I have enjoyed every Someday Quilts book thus far and I am sure I would enjoy these.
How did I miss your book series?!! I love this sort of book and will be heading on line to get the others in your series. I am a TQS member and would love to win your e-book.
Hi!! I’ve only recently discovered your books and asked my local library to get them in, which they did!! Yay!! I’ve since devoured all four and now have to patiently wait until next year for the next. I would love a copy of your ebook. Thank you.
I to am a quilter. I have all your books and am eagerly waiting for the next one. You can send this to my Kindle please!
I’m glad to see Nell is back. Being a hopeless romantic, I’m wishing we get some more of her with the sheriff. Can’t wait for the books and the downloads.
I love your Someday Quilts Mystery series and would love to win the ebook too! Of course, I also love The Quilt Show which I joined earlier this year. Thanks much to all of you!
I can’t wait to read it!
I am excited to read a new story from you. I love to quilt and read mysteries.
I love mysteries and mysteries that include quilting are the best.
I would love to win the e-book! Can’t wait for your next release!
What a terrific topic combination~quilting and mysteries. Sounds like a wonderful way to spend an evening! Please pick me, pick me!
The e book looks like an interesting read. Mysteries with a Christmas theme makes it worth the wait for the release.
i love your books! thanks for the giveaway!
Love, love, love quilt mystery books! Love quilting! And love reading on my Kindle Fire! I can read books in bed again without bothering sleeping hubby with a light on. More books ahve been read this way in the last several months than I’ve read in years. Keep the e-books coming!
This sounds like so much fun . Thankyou
I love mysteries and quilts; what could be better than to win an ebook about both.
I love the Someday Quilt series…can’t wait for the next book !!
Thanks for the chance! I love to read!
Looking forward to your book!
I love reading and quilting so having them combined is a joy and, as part of my 7th round of chemotherapy, i’m doing lots of both. As the universe is very good at making offers propitiously, i’m making a cathedral window quilt at this time. Good luck with your future writing and i’m looking forward to reading your story, come what may. Lesley
I love books, it is even more fun to combine quilting with a good book line. I hope i win as it will make me go back and chase down your earlier books. Thanks for the opportunity through The Quilt SHow.
Jane Modjeski
Lovely to see these older type quilt styles are being resurrected and a book to showcase this fabulous technique. Hope I win
Hi I love reading and love quilting and so I’m sure I will enjoy your books. I must confess to not having come across you before, so thanks TQS for bringing you to my attention.
WOW!! I’m excited!! I’m one of your fans! I’ve read all your quilting novels and really enjoy your characters! You are one of the authors that I look for new volumes to read! So glad I didn’t miss this chance to read your e-book!
Am a mystery book fan. Would love to read your book!
I am not familiar with your books, but am very excited to be introduced to you. I enjoy experiencing new authors and widening my horizons!!
Can’t wait for the new stories!
I love a good “who dun it” book so would love the chance to win an e-book that also includes a quilter. Thanks T.Q.S. for the chance to win one. If it’s as good as your quilting information & receives your recommendation then it must be a “good” one.
Marion
The information on TQS sent me to my book shelf. I have enjoyed two of your Someday Quilt Mysteries. Life has been in a fog lately as I have been taking care of a sick husband. I didn’t realize I missed two books (almost Three)! Thanks for sharing, Edie
I just love a mystery and with quilts – what could be better!!,!!!!
I just want to have the chance to win the e-book, thank youuuuuuuuuu
AHHH!!!!! So excited!!! I can NOT wait for them to come out. Thanks for the chance to win
Cathedral Windows is such a traditional design. I cannot imagine how it could be “mysterious”!
I have loved the first books in this series–am working on book 4 now! I have a new kindle and am excited to get a book just for it later this month. I hope to win, but buying is pretty painless, too..
Would love to win this e book giveaway! Love to quilt and love a good mystery! Thanks for sharing with us!
Never read your books, though I love reading and will add you to my list of authors to read
I am a quilter and a reader. I haven’t read the series so this gives me a reason to start and time to catch up by September. Looking forward to a good READ and a chance to win a download! Darla
Wow! I haven’t been paying attention. I am always looking for quilt related fiction. Can’t wait to find the first 4 books & read them. I especially like audio books so I can be quilting while I am enjoying a good book. Thanks for the chance to win this one.
I woiuld love to win a copy of CATHEDRAL WINDOWS. I love the series Someday Quilts. I have read and enjoyed them all.
