So Black Friday is now in July? I have been working pretty hard over the last few months to clear out the clutter in and around my house. I am organizing closets and drawers, as well as labeling everything with my nifty label maker. It is looking beautiful, so the last thing I need is more stuff. OH…but can I resist Black Friday in July? I don’t even need anything. Wait..no… I need food, socks, and school supplies, but I do not need summer plates, and spiffy cute pillows. But I had to look, and the temptation is killing me. I need to clean the cat box, not buy more toys for the kids. ERG!!!

Black Willow: A Disturbing Short Story
Evan Bollinger
Genre: Horror
FREE for a limited time
To say that it made your blood curdle, or that it made your mind race, would make little sense. For what came through that heavy air was not so much acting upon the human mind and body, as it was a part of the human mind and body. To try to combat it was to fight your own mechanism. To free yourself from the scream, was to destroy yourself from the inside out. In that moment, they were already dead. The first time was 12 years ago when they were young, and clueless. It was supposed to go away–this wasn’t supposed to happen. But something went wrong, and now it’s back. Something strange stalks the skeletal woods of Willow Park… But can the park contain it? “Black Willow” is a horror short story filled with suspense and mystery.

Beyond The Pasta: Recipes, Language and Life with an Italian Family
Mark Donovan Leslie
Genre: Cookbooks, Food & Wine | Travel
FREE for a limited time
Several years ago, on a break between theatrical gigs in Alabama, Mark traveled to Italy and fell in love with the people, food and culture. Armed with just enough courage, minimal Italian language skills, and a certain proficiency in the kitchen, he enrolled in a full-immersion cooking and language program. He would travel to Viterbo, Italy and live with an Italian family. His teachers were beyond his wildest dreams-he learned to cook from the grandmother, or Nonna, of the family, who prepared every meal in a bustling, busy household, as women in her family have done for generations. Her daughter, Alessandra, taught him the language with patience and precision. Besides culinary secrets and prepositions, they opened their lives to him, and made him a real part of their extensive family. Though the book contains authentic, delicious family recipes Nonna shared with Mark, Beyond the Pasta delves into food memoir subject matter not found in a typical cookbook. It was the day-to-day shopping with Nonna, exploring the countryside and le gelaterie, where he truly developed his language skills, and a new, more joyful and uniquely Italian way of looking at the world.
