My sweet pup Junebug is on a diet. She is not longer the shape of a dog, but rather she has more of a sausage figure. To say she is not handling it well is an understatement. When I go to the fridge and don’t get her a piece of salami or a little dab of whipped cream, I can see the hurt in her eyes. She was also feeling the pain after we took her and Casper for an extra long walk to get a little exercise in. The poor girl was completely exhausted and just wanted to cuddle for the rest of the day. I have to admit, I am feeling yesterday’s walk this morning. Ouch. For my sweet Junebug I will do what I can to keep her healthy, but I won’t promise that you wont hear me crying as well.

Daisy Clarke arrives in Holly Blue Bay at the request of the town’s mayor. The mayor wants Daisy to perform a marketing miracle on the town, and to increase the visitor numbers too.

OOF: An Online Outrage Fiesta for the Ages
by Strobe Witherspoon
Genre: Foreign Languages | Humor & Entertainment | Political
FREE for a limited time
Award-winning novelist and cultural critic Strobe Witherspoon interrogates his own profession. It goes terribly.
“Wildly entertaining… Sometimes sad and sometimes hilarious, Witherspoon’s timely metafictional novel explores the ways (mis)information can shape public discourse in the digital media age.” – Booklife by Publishers Weekly
“Strikingly original… an innovative literary experiment that supplies a thoughtful commentary on the ‘discourse virus’ of our age… Witherspoon tackles a broad spectrum of media, including comically scathing excerpts from tweets, podcasts, blogs, and even academic journals and also keenly exposes the ways in which Strobe, the character, is implicated in his own online assault, due to his obsessive attachment to public life.” – Kirkus Reviews
OOF explores the role of satire in a society lurching from one ridiculous crisis to the next, where media outlets rely on clicks to stay alive and everything is filtered through a lens of anger and misinformation.
————
Strobe Witherspoon just sold his latest satirical novel for a lot of money. The book in question, FLOTUS: A Memoir, is a fictitious autobiography about a former first lady of the United States reflecting on years of misery at the hands of her much older POTUS husband. When a chapter is leaked in advance of the book’s publication, an Online Outrage Fiesta (OOF) ensues via news outlets, blogs, Twitter, troll farms, and everything in between. Witherspoon has his life placed under a microscope. Family secrets are exposed. Now, an anthology has been put together to document Witherspoon’s downfall — and settle the score.
————
“an impressive achievement of unflinching honesty from a noteworthy talent, as resonant and relevant as it is entertaining… OOF tugs at the threads that connect American cynicism with radical extremism and weaves a character-rich tapestry of insight… Each voice, whether of a New Yorker journalist or an Internet influencer, is rendered with uncanny fidelity. Perhaps most masterful is that key events are not depicted but merely alluded to, allowing the text to provide an elegant framework for a more personal story painted almost invisibly in the negative space.”- BlueInk Review

Rules of Murder (A Drew Farthering Mystery Book #1)
by Julianna Deering
Genre: Religion & Spirituality | Historical Fiction
FREE for a limited time
Downton Abbey Meets Agatha Christie in This Sparkling Mystery
Introducing Drew Farthing. From the tip of his black Homburg hat to the crease in his cheviot trousers, he’s the epitome of a stylish 1930s English gentleman. His only problem? The body he just discovered. Drew Farthering loves a good mystery, although he generally expects to find it in the pages of a novel, not on the grounds of his country estate. With the help of beautiful and whip-smart Madeline Parker, a guest from America, Drew proposes to use the lessons he’s learned reading his mysteries to solve the crime. Before long, he realizes this is no lark, and no one at Farthering Place is who he or she appears to be — not the blackmailer, not the adulterer, not the embezzler and not even Drew himself. Trying hard to remain one step ahead of the killer — and trying harder to impress Madeline — Drew must decide how far to take this dangerous game.
