The sun is out again, tempting me. I WILL NOT go to the hardware store and look at plants. NO! I do need some nuts and bolts though. Maybe I could just go and see what plants they have and just get an inventory, maybe a little inspiration. You know that’s where it starts, right?
Kick (The Jenkins Cycle Book 1)
by John L. Monk
Genre: Suspense | Fantasy
FREE for a limited time
A supernatural thriller with a vigilante twist.
They say suicides are damned for eternity. But if possessing the bodies of violent criminals is Hell, then Dan Jenkins will take it. And he does, every time a portal arrives to whisk him from his ghostly exile.
Dan rides the living like a supernatural jockey, pushing out their consciousness and taking over. He doesn’t know where their minds go while he’s in charge, and for the most part doesn’t care. He’s just happy to live again.
Normally, before the villain returns to kick him out, Dan dishes out a final serving of justice and leaves the world a safer place. It’s one of the rules if he wants more rides, and he’s happy to oblige. For a part-time dead guy, it’s a pretty good gig.
And then he meets her.
Kick is the first book in a series of supernatural thrillers. If you like Quantum Leap and Every Day, you’ll love this gritty and original take on the body-hopping hero story. Vividly written, Kick is a wild ride with a sharp sarcastic wit and a flawed yet likable main character.

Trans-Siberian Express
by Warren Adler
Genre: Suspense | Thrillers | Romance
FREE for a limited time
Acclaimed novelist Warren Adler’s most enduring train thriller yet, currently in development as a feature film.
American cancer specialist Dr. Alex Cousins is on a covert mission to the USSR. He is tasked with prolonging the life of Soviet Politburo Chief, Viktor Moiseyevich Dimitrov, who is suffering from advanced stage leukemia. But the tenuous confidence between the unlikely colleagues is shattered one night as Alex accidentally discovers Dimitrov’s diabolical plans for a nuclear strike on China. Alex soon finds himself dispatched, homeward bound, on a six-thousand-mile journey aboard the Trans-Siberian Express; long enough, Alex realizes, to silence him from alerting the U.S. of the imminent destruction.
Reluctant at first to embark upon the journey, Alex is beckoned into the Siberian expanse by memories of his grandfather, Aleksandr Kuznetzov, who wove tales of magic and mystery into this seemingly desolate place. As the train lumbers east across snow-cloaked mountains, glimmering past a forest glow, watchful eyes rest on the American doctor. Surrounding him are people beaten and broken by life, each drawn to this emperor of trains in search of a brighter future. But most curious is Anna Petrovna Valentinova, the hauntingly beautiful history professor and Alex’s alluring traveling companion. As Anna captivates Alex with illusions of her homeland, a passionate romance transcending political barriers unfolds under KGB surveillance.
A train attendant yearns for love, a deformed man seeks revenge on an old enemy, and a persecuted Jewish couple runs to a new home as the Trans-Siberian Express roars onward through a cavern of hopes and memories, coloring its tracks with tales of love, loss, and nuclear intrigue from one end of Russia to the other.

Letters of Long Ago
by Multiple Authors
Genre: History | Biographies & Memoirs
FREE for a limited time
One of her most embarrassing times was the day she set out to drown the children. The dust cloud kicked up by–she was certain–Nez Perce warriors, turned out to be the signature of her husband’s horse’s hooves. When he found his family on the banks of the Blackfoot River, preparing for an eternal swim, Nels was understandably upset.
Most women of her era would have kept this episode of paranoia to themselves. They most certainly would have kept it from their children. Because Emma candidly shared her stories with her daughter, we now have a better understanding of what life was like in Idaho Territory, not just on the windswept plains, but in the heart of a woman.
Divorced from a scoundrel who she, never-the-less, still loved and with an infant boy to raise, Emma’s situation seemed hopeless. Then along came a young Dane named Nels. He did not offer much: living in a hole in a river bank with a buffalo robe for a door. Still, it seemed a chance worth taking.
And so their story began with a marriage of convenience, if not desperation. Emma followed her new husband to a secluded valley along the Blackfoot River in 1870 where she would raise sons and bury daughters. Nels would go on to be a leading figure in Idaho, a canal builder, a banker and a farmer. Emma would be a mother to four boys and, at last, one girl. She would be the star witness in a sensational trial about a religious war that echoes eerily today in incidents like Waco and Jonestown. Mostly she was a proud, brave woman who survived lonely, heartbreaking years before civilization crept into the West.
Emma told her story to daughter Agnes, who set it down as a series of letters, each of which Emma approved as it came out of the typewriter. The resulting book was first published in 1923. It was on the press the day Emma died.
Letters of Long ago is a haunting, often heart-breaking book you will not soon forget.
