Clearly he was annoyed with me when I sent him a text asking if he could give me some Christmas gift ideas for the baby bassets. I know you can’t really read tone in a text, but I can’t help feeling that I was taking up his time. He was much more chatty this past Summer, so I thought we were friends. I always make it a point to be nice to people, even when I am extremely busy. I just tell them I can’t talk or text right now, but will get back to them later. No reason to get snarky. People usually understand. Now I am thinking I just wont text him at all and wait for him to contact me first. He may be one of Santa’s elves and it’s a busy time for him, but that is no reason to be rude. You would think that after I helped him catch that reindeer, that got loose last year, he would be a little more patient. GEEZ!!

In the year 2020, a landslide awakens the AI of an alien Escape Pod which had crashed and sunk into a prehistoric swamp. Now it must utilize ancient patterning technology to reconstitute its Master. However, it proves no easy mission as it scours this strange new world for essential materials to rebuild.
As a homeless man, Zeke has worked hard to claim a back-alley as his own territory where a restaurant’s staff leave him food scraps. As if things aren’t bad enough Zeke’s on a dark government watchlist. He has a partial metal skull, forged from a meteorite and hammered into shape by a Middle-Eastern Blacksmith. The strange alloy has irreversibly bonded with his brain and is leaking into his DNA, changing it.
When the newly-revived Master discovers that the only source of an essential component for its ship is the foreign material in Zeke’s head, it faces a difficult moral dilemma. The Master comes from a race that reveres all biological life wherever it is found, and Zeke will die if the metal cap is removed.
It’s left to the AI to find another way?

Kitchen Addiction! (Mina Kitchen Cozy Comedy Series Book 1)
by Lizz Lund
Genre: Mystery, Thriller & Suspense | Mystery | Humor & Satire | Humor & Entertainment
FREE for a limited time
AMAZON “VINE VOICE” — 5-STAR REVIEW !
“… one very enjoyable madcap adventure. I haven’t done a lick of housework all day, and I’m not the least bit repentant. Spending my time with Mina and her entourage was the most fun I’ve had in quite a while.
Meet Mina Kitchen, a forty-something single who likes to cook – and cook and cook. In fact, her zest for whipping up trays of canapes is dwarfed only by her weird luck and mountain-lion size tabby cat, Vinnie. That, and her godmom’s tendency for blackmailing new members into joining St. Bart’s. Okay, maybe Mina’s Swiffer-addicted neighbor, Vito, is a bit weird, too. As if all that wasn’t enough, Mina’s a Jersey girl transplanted in the midst of the Amish-flavored countryside of Lancaster, PA.
Things get really complicated when she learns that her neighbor Vito is in a witness protection program, and her dry cleaner deals in prescription samples. Throw in a few mysterious flaming feces flingers and a fuse box labeled in Arabic, and you have a recipe for catering disorders.
Kitchen Addiction! will keep you smiling when you’re not laughing-out-loud. Set in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, you’ll find a surprising cast of characters, funny plot twists, red herrings and actual recipes. Well, some of the recipes are real. The others you might to take with a pinch of salt, and some Tums.
If you’re looking for a cozy mystery, packed with humor, chatty animals (in the guise of pets) — and a bit of suspense — look no further. Lund’s debut hilarious light hearted mystery blends delightful characters and great dialogue with a dash of zany mysteries and thrillers. This cozy comedy caper serves up frothy fiction that’s sure to amuse Kindle and paperback readers, alike. It also delivers a virtual tourist romp through the actual streets of Lancaster City and its surroundings.
