Three bee bait boxes are set up and ready for any swarms looking for a nice little home. Normally I would say it is way too early for swarms, but the weather has been nothing but warm and sunny for a week. While I was setting up one box with nice drawn comb frames, I had a little lady checking things out. Was she a scout? I have no idea, but I hope she goes back to her hive and tells them about the awesome waterfront location. Just to give myself an even better chance I added a little lemon grass oil to the entrances to make it just that more enticing. Now the trick is for me to leave the boxes alone. I already checked on them three or four times.
Queenie Baby: On Assignment : Romantic Comedy Mystery
by Christina A. Burke
Genre: Romance | Mystery
FREE for a limited time
From USA Today bestselling author Christina A. Burke comes the first installment of a wacky, romantic comedy series about the misadventures of wannabe rock star, Diana Hudson…
Meeting your hot new boss in a bar while singing karaoke — bad. Being fixed up with your old high school boyfriend by your meddling sister — annoying. Making out in your sister’s minivan with said boyfriend — embarrassing. This week is shaping up to be a doozy for aspiring singer/songwriter Diana Hudson.
“On the wrong side of thirty” according to her mother and still living the bohemian lifestyle of a musician, Diana is having a double martini day. Although a sought after performer on the not-so-happening Annapolis, Maryland bar scene, Diana works as a temp at Greene’s Staffing to pay the bills. Her assignment this week: help the cape-wearing Mr. Vann Pyre find love online. Unfortunately for Diana, the only man in her life for months has been Max, her fluffy, white Shitzu-Poodle with a crooked overbite and a bad attitude. But unexpectedly, Diana finds herself up to her chin in men. Her mysterious new boss, Mark Greene, smells so good she’d like to hang him from her rearview mirror, and her chiseled, super-sexy high school sweetheart, Rick Ellis, is back to sweep her off her feet. When Diana’s love life goes from nonexistent to off the charts, will she give an old romance a second chance? Or will she take a chance on new love?

Full of magic, wizards, gangsters, vampires, imps, and some snappy dressing. All set in Wales. Yes, it’s British Urban Fantasy! What’s not to like?
I watched in horror as dark magic sprang from my hand faster than an imp after your socks. I didn’t know my name, let alone that I had such power. The man was dead. I panicked. I ran.
How was I to know I was a dark magic enforcer, tasked with keeping magic hidden from the world? Yeah, total noob move, I know.
But my memory is returning, and the Hidden have given me twenty-four hours to make amends. Cover it up. Finish the job I was given, or else. Failure isn’t an option. Well, it is, but I like me, and I like being alive.
The clock is ticking as I battle to make things right and exact revenge on those that took so much from me. Easier said than done as I deal with angry mages, bitey zombies, oversexed imps, creepy necromancers, and grumpy trolls — and those are just my friends! — all while trying to stop myself falling in love with my best friend, Kate, who just so happens to be a hot vampire.
I’m Faz Pound, a.k.a. Black Spark, Dark Magic Enforcer, and time is running out.
At least I have my looks. For now.

Operation Firefly
by Liane Young
Genre: Black & African American | Historical Fiction
FREE for a limited time
A compelling work of historical fiction written by former director of corporate communications for the Office of Naval Research Liane Young, Operation Firefly reveals the amazing true story of the smokejumpers of the 555th Parachute Infantry Battalion, the US Army’s first all-black test platoon.
Toward the end of WWII, the Japanese begin attaching incendiary and antipersonnel bombs to hydrogen-filled paper balloons and sending them across the Pacific Ocean. Over the course of the Fu-Go program, almost ten thousand balloon bombs are launched, setting off hundreds of forest fires along the West Coast of the United States. But in a ploy to trick the Japanese into thinking their bombing campaign is ineffective, the US government keeps it all under wraps. After six innocent civilians are killed, the “Triple Nickles” are quietly dispatched to Pendleton Field, Oregon, on Operation Firefly.
Young draws you into this riveting, little-known chapter of American history by masterfully weaving the story of Captain Tucker Freeman and several other fictionalized characters into factual accounts.
This remarkable eighteen-man team’s missions have them parachuting into dangerous situations to fight forest fires and defuse live Fu-Go bombs. Facing external racism and internal personality clashes, the tension builds, culminating in a dramatic race against the clock at a top-secret Manhattan Project site.
