I DID IT! I was able to let my oldest baby basset drive to school with me. He did great. He needs to work on a few things like not turning so sharp into parking lots, and stopping before the line at stop signs. Other than that he was great. Now to me. It was 49 degrees out and I was sweating. I managed not to scream “BRAKES” or “WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE!” Ten points for me. My foot did hit the invisible brakes a few times though. I tried to be subtle, but he saw me did it. ERK. I know my nervousness makes him nervous, so I have to be very careful. I was very upset when the motorcyclist zipped by on the right in the gutter doing a wheelie. JERKFACE! (breath breath). It’s stuff like that that my boy needs to get used to I know. I am very relieved to say I don’t have to do that again until Monday. I have a few days to recover. Ugh

Posies and Poison (Sweetfern Harbor Mystery Book 1)
by Wendy Meadows
4.3 Stars (1,907 Reviews)
Genre: Mystery

FREE for a limited time

An amateur sleuth with a bed and breakfast, an unfriendly resident found dead, and a handsome detective who helps unravel the mystery in the cozy beach town of Sweetfern Harbor, Maine.

Brenda Sheffield can’t believe her luck when she finds out that the family business, The Sheffield Bed and Breakfast, has been handed down to her upon the death of a relative. For too long, she’s been idle – a new challenge is precisely what she needs.

Uprooting to the idyllic village of Sweetfern Harbor was tough, but it doesn’t take long for Brenda to fall for the brightly painted shopfronts and the friendly residents. However, there’s always one who spoils the bouquet. Lady Pendleton owns half of the buildings in Sweetfern Harbor, and she rules with a green-fingered fist. With a personal vendetta against everyone, she ruthlessly raises rent and rates – resulting in turning many people out of house, home, and business.

One day, her flashy car pulls up outside The Sheffield Bed and Breakfast, but Brenda is shocked to find her slumped over the wheel and failing to respond. The Coroner pronounces her dead at the scene; ruling it as a homicide.

With the entire town a suspect; Brenda isn’t sure whom to turn to since crime isn’t usually a factor in this New England town. Enter the handsome Detective Mac Rivers, who must unravel the twists and turns of this murder – but can an outsider’s perspective help bring the perpetrator to justice? Or will they slip out of sight unnoticed – or strike down another victim?

Bestselling, award-winning author of STIGERS TIGERS, Marc Alan Edelheit, delivers a new action-packed fantasy epic filled with gods and magic.

One of history’s greatest mysteries, the Ninth Imperial Legion guarding Rome’s northernmost frontier in Britannia disappeared around the year 122 AD. This is their story.

Badly outnumbered, facing certain destruction, and cut off from supply, the Imperial Roman Ninth Legion Hispana is in a desperate position. Surrounded by the hostile Celtic army, Senior Centurion Lucious Grackus Lisidus Karus must lead his men to safety after unexpectedly finding himself thrust into command of the legion.

Then the unthinkable happens.

Karus and the Ninth are transported to a strange place, far away from the Britannia they knew. The legion’s deliverance from danger at first appears to be a blessing from the gods, but slowly they begin to uncover the secrets of this new land, a world that is slowly being overrun by a terrible evil.

A young woman is discovered in a dungeon, where she has been abandoned and left to starve. Inextricably linked with Karus’ own destiny, she may be the key to salvation, or worse, the instrument of destruction for the Ninth.

Cast adrift in a terrible war, Karus must find his way through the mysteries of this unfamiliar world, one that is filled with true magic, strange alien races, evil gods, and dragons. More importantly, Karus must discover his destiny, and complete a desperate task set for him by a god of Rome. Should he fail, it will mean certain destruction for the Ninth, the triumph of evil, and the rise of a new order.

Glory Box (Road To Babylon, Book 1)
by Sam Sisavath
4.6 Stars (1,153 Reviews)
Genre: Men’s Adventure

FREE for a limited time

Book #1 in The Road to Babylon post-apocalyptic series. Follow-up to The Purge of Babylon.

FROM THE PURGE, A NEW BEGINNING.

It’s been six years since a terrifying breed of seemingly unkillable creatures emerged from the darkness to topple the unprepared governments of the world, in the process knocking mankind down the food chain.

Survivors called it The Purge.

A few brave souls rose from the ashes of the old world to fight back, often against overwhelming odds. Led by indomitable heroes, they risked everything to achieve a final, stunning victory over the supernatural “ghouls” in The Battle of Houston.

Five years later, what remains of the ghouls have fled back into the shadows, and humanity now resides in isolated communities in relative peace. But human ambition and greed have also survived, and with no laws to stop those willing to pursue them, it’s every man for himself.

Keo, one of the unknown heroes of The Battle of Houston, has found serenity in a small town in Texas. But he will discover that a violent past is not so easily cast aside when a madman rises to dominate those around him, and in the process shatters Keo’s new life.

It’s a brave new world, but monsters still exist — and thrive. And where there are evil deeds, good people must rise to stem the tide… on the Road to Babylon.
