Update: The winners are Judy Gardner, Bea, and Nancy Mejia! Congratulations on your win; we'll be in touch soon! Thanks to everyone who entered and shared.
Dianne is the author of two best-selling series - popular and well-reviewed Cedar Bay cozy mysteries and the Coyote series. She has recently released the first book in her new “Liz Lucas Cozy Mystery Series,” Murder in Cottage #6. Her books have won numerous honors, and she has been recognized by Amazon as one of its best-selling authors. We are so excited to share her work with THREE lucky readers.
Liz Lucas, a 52 year old widow, is beginning to think she’s been given a second chance at life by owning a successful spa located in a beautiful forest area on the coast north of San Francisco.
What could possibly go wrong? Well, for starters, discovering that a guest staying in cottage #6 at the spa has been murdered.
In order to save the spa’s reputation, Liz, along with her two dogs, Brandy Boy and Winston, sets out to find the killer. The cast of characters includes a handyman, spa employees, the bumbling police chief, the owner of Gertie’s Diner, the dead woman’s husband (the mayor), his girlfriend, and a Tiffany glass collector. One of them probably committed the crime, but it’s up to Liz to quickly find the culprit.

Kelly's Koffee Shop (Book 1 in the Cedar Bay series):
The local residents of Cedar Bay come to Kelly’s Koffee Shop for
breakfast, lunch, and lots of gossip. Kelly serves it all up as she works to
solve the murder of the high school Homecoming Queen. The townspeople can’t
believe what has happened in their sleepy little Oregon seaside town. She
identifies five prime suspects, but which one did it?
Follow Kelly, her boxer dog, Rebel, and her boyfriend, Mike, the county sheriff, as they try to determine who the killer is in a murder that’s shocked the town.

Murder at Jade Cove (Book 2 in the Cedar Bay series):
Was it the environmental activist enamored with spotted owls,
someone from the local Native American tribe, Jeff’s son, Jeff’s wife, or his
wife’s lover? Join Kelly, the owner of Kelly’s Koffee Shop, her boxer dog,
Rebel, and her fiancé, Mike, the county sheriff, as they try and catch the
person who killed Jeff Black.
Well, it’s not as if no one wanted Jeff dead. He had enemies. There were a lot of people who didn’t want to see his property turned into a commercial hotel and spa. Finding suspects won’t be hard to do, but finding out who killed him will be. No one would ever nominate Jeff for the “Most Popular Citizen Award.” This is going to be a nightmare for Mike. I wonder how I can help him, Kelly thought.

White Cloud Retreat (Book 3 in the Cedar Bay series):
What could possibly go wrong at a beautiful Oregon vineyard
overlooking the ocean? Could the White Cloud Retreat Center on the vineyard,
run by a world famous Buddhist Zen Master hold a deep, dark secret? Murder, for
one thing, but who could possibly have a motive for killing the beloved Zen
Master?
Solving the mystery is the job of Sheriff Mike, ably assisted by his soon-to-be-wife, Kelly, an amateur sleuth, and their two dogs, Rebel and Lady. The vineyard is famous for its White Cloud Pinot Noir wines and the coffee shop that Kelly owns, Kelly’s Koffee Shop, is equally popular with customers looking for good food.
