I am freezing out my family this morning, like I do every morning for the past week. Hubby seems to be taking it well, but he never actually feels cold so he doesn’t count. The days have been pretty hot, so I try to cool the whole house down as much as I can in the morning by opening all the windows and turning all the ceiling fans on high. I then shut everything mid morning when it starts to warm up. It’s a good system, and I am standing by it. I am not changing my ways. Nope. Even if the fur babies are trying to dig their way into the freezer to warm up. So dramatic. My baby bassets are two mountains of blankets on the rug in the living room. The only thing I can see are their faces poking out to watch TV. There is a penguin at the front door trying to get in. I am a bit relieved about that since I was expecting a tiger. We had a lion sleeping in a flowerpot at the downtown mall and a bear roaming around the neighborhood a few miles away about two months ago, so natural I was expecting a tiger. Penguins are cool, but I worry he might have a strong scent of fish on him and that might just stick on the couch, so I am not letting him in. He might also just be trying to sell something. I think I saw a pamphlet in his…. is that a flipper or a wing? I would Google if penguins have flippers or wings, but I like a little mystery in my life. Hmm…. he is still there at the door. He is not blinking. That’s weird.

FREE for a limited time
When itinerant lawman Ray Tatum’s quick visit to the North Carolina Outer Banks is complicated by a homicide, Ray gets hired to help track down the killer and finds himself locked into a winter at the shore. A string of barrier islands that’s two hundred miles from tip to tip, the Outer Banks might be a tourist mecca in the summer, but it’s a frigid, wind-ravaged trial more often than not in the off season. Graveyard of the Atlantic indeed. Fortunately for Ray, the seaside desolation suits him right down to the ground. Wry, sour, corrosively funny, Ray Tatum is made for a winter at the beach. Better still, he’s a steady, solid cop and a capable addition to a Kill Devil Hills PD in what is surely their worst hour.
Here’s the shore like you’ve never seen it. Let Ray Tatum be your guide.
First In Flight marks Ray Tatum’s fifth appearance (also Cry Me A River, Polar, Blue Ridge, & Warwolf).

Angela Eyler
by Nick Casto
Genre: Horror
FREE for a limited time
The quiet float trip that Drew Gallagher promised his wife, Jan, began with a warm, fall sun reflecting from the placid waters of the Kinnicut River as they collected water samples for the environmental trust Drew managed. As their day progressed, they realized that something was terribly wrong with “their” river that idyllic weekend: The wild creatures they saw acted strangely and the normal livestock that roamed the river banks were absent.
That first night on the river ushered in the early arrival of a coastal storm as Jan was lured from her warm sleeping bag by strange lights and voices coming from the dark woods that surrounded the river. When Drew arose later to find Jan missing, his search for his wife began with the discovery of a recently plundered ancient graveyard and ended tragically with a fall into a deep ravine that knocked him unconscious. He awoke at the edge of the cold, rising waters of the river to discover a backwoods girl, Angela, kneeling over him.
As time passed, his worst fears materialized, and he soon found that all hopes of finding his wife alive and surviving the ordeal were carried on the thin shoulders of this strange little girl who bore terrible secrets and fears of her own.
