I woke up this morning terrified I would not be able to find enough pool noodles for the school walk-a-thon decorations. If ever there was a lame way to wake up terrified and panicked,  it would be about pool noodles. Just by saying the words, Pool Noodles, should calm me down. Still…. dumb pool noodles.

Foul Player (The Doctor Jillian Sanders Mystery Series Book 1)
Sue Parker
4.2 Stars (77 Reviews)
Genre: Mystery, Thriller & Suspense

FREE for a limited time

Murder is the last thing on OBGYN Dr. Jillian Sanders’ mind, but it’s the first thing she must consider when her brother’s ex fiancee turns up dead.

Up all night delivering babies, Dr. Sanders is summoned to the ER to see a young pregnant woman possibly in premature labor. Within minutes, the back doors of the emergency room burst open and paramedics rush in a late twenties Jane Doe, clinging to life after being run down while jogging.

A side-long glance is all it takes for Dr. Sanders to recognize the victim as her brother’s former fiancee and long time family friend. Of course, it could be Kara’s twin sister Sara, but based on a recent conversation with Kara-a conversation Dr. Sanders promised to keep secret against her better judgment- the chances of that are slim.

When resuscitation fails and the police write the incident up as an accidental hit-and-run, Dr. Sanders must tell all. And when her old flame, Detective Mike Daniels, the detective assigned to the case, appears to have other priorities, Dr. Sanders decides to investigate Kara’s death on her own.

Throughout the novel, Dr. Sanders attempts to keep some semblance of her life prior to Kara’s death. She continues to see patients, deliver babies and and perform surgery. She also resolves a relationship with her ex husband and learns to love again, all the while somehow managing to maintain her sense of humor.

But as Dr. Sanders will soon discover, there is nothing funny about Kara’s case and there is much to lose by getting involved. Not the least of which… is her life.

Make your own Seasoning Mixes from the spices you already own. Also discover many self reliance tips.

As we know America was discovered while Christopher Columbus was seeking a faster trade route to the East Indies. He wanted to bring back spices quickly and cheaply. In his time spices were a very prized item. Today, compared to Columbus time spices are not near so valuable unless you don’ t have them. Then how much would you pay if you did not have access to Spaghetti or Taco season packet?

With the economic downturn of the US one item that has really increased in price are spices. I have watched spice packets double in price. People are willing to pay for a little something extra when it comes to good tasting food and your grocer knows this. For this reason spices will continue to climb as economic times waver.

Bulk Seasonings are much cheaper. If kept in a good mason jar or other suitable condition away from heat and light they will last for years. So what are you waiting for? Start saving today! Whip up your favorite seasoning mix from the spices I’ m sure you already own.

I guarantee the recipes in this book will open a new world of creation to you. It will pay you back again and again in lost time money and gas. No more running to the store because you realize in the middle of cooking, you don’ t have that season packet you always use. From now on you can pass up the season packets with a smile because you know how to make your own.
