One bad thing about celebrating Christmas in July is it gives me this overwhelming feeling that I need to organize the whole house before Christmas in December. I always get this crazy feeling that I need to get all my ducks in a row with clutter and items we don’t need or use anymore. I think that’s what January is for, but I need clear surfaces to put all my decorations on and I can’t do that with clutter everywhere. I currently have 42 fake birds on my dining room table (long story), and that just won’t do for holiday celebrations. I know I have been going on and on about how I don’t believe in motivation, and that’s not my problem. My problem is I have been exercising in the morning and that wipes me out for the day. WHAT THE HECKADOODLE!!??? Isn’t exercise supposed to make you feel better? ERG! Well, it isn’t. I feel lied to. Maybe I had a case of the Mondays and I should try again today. Fine…
A New Leash on Life (Dog Groomer Mysteries Book 1)
by Chelsea Thomas
Genre: Mystery
FREE for a limited time
Every dog has his day…
… and so does every killer.
Amy’s story is like so many of ours. She gave up her heart to the wrong guy, and then she got it broken into horrible little shards. But Amy’s a fighter. So when she gets dumped, she flies home to Southern California and opens a gorgeous pet salon with her grumpy granny, Petunia.
Petunia’s a card shark, willing to bet on anything. This time she bets on her granddaughter and it pays off.
Family is everything.
From Golden Retrievers to German Shepherds, Amy’s pet salon is a must for every dog owner in Southern California. But when the body of a washed up rock guitarist is discovered down the road — just after writing a bad review of Amy’s shop — doggy do’s and pet perms are the least of Amy’s worries.
The killer was good, and he framed Amy for the crime, so Amy and Granny have no choice but to solve the murder. If they don’t, Amy might end up in jail for a crime she didn’t commit. Or worse.
You’ll love this cozy because everyone loves mysteries with cute animals and plenty of suspense.

They want Felix Lasko to solve a murder while getting chased by coyotes, one-eyed assassins, and killer robots. He’d say no, but that’s not an option — since they’ll kill him outright if he refuses.

It’s the last city on the planet with power, and he’s run hundreds of miles only to get stuck outside its blue forcefield dome.
He’ll need to get through a brothel-ship wedged into a cliffside, and a gang of violent criminals called the Mayors. All while avoiding instant death by a deadly piece of Tek known only as the Scream Ray.
Whatever the odds, he’s done running. He’ll get into Neotopia even if it kills him.
