For once in quite a few years, it is actually feeling like Fall. Leaves are falling, the wind has been quite active, and we have actually experienced rain. RAIN!!! In CALIFORNIA! I have grown accustomed to hot weather and the state being on fire this time of year. This is by far a great improvement over the last few years. I dusted off my umbrella and I pulled my rain coat down from the attic. I am feeling pretty optimistic about this holiday season. Please tell me what I just wrote aren’t famous last words. ERG!

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells… Rifle Shells?
Blind private investigator Steve Smiley and his partner hear a rifle shot. Hordes of Christmas shoppers scatter. A famous big-game hunter drops to the sidewalk. They grab the beautiful teen who was arguing with the man and flee to safety. Bella, the adopted daughter of the victim and a celebrity in her own right, shows no emotion over the murder. Her one passionate request: find her birth parents.
Smiley and McBlythe’s search intertwines with the murder investigation of Bella’s adopted father again and again — and uncovers a shocking secret. Like it or not, they must first identify the killer in order to discover the truth about Bella’s adoption.
A host of suspects line up like Santa’s reindeer. Can the determined investigators tie a ribbon on the case? Will Bella have the best Christmas ever — or will death and heartache be the only presents under the tree?
You’ll love this page-turning mystery — it has more twists and turns than stripes on a candy cane.

It is 1940 in the Netherlands, and nineteen-year-old Jenny DeHaan is determined to live her life outside the confines of the family farm. When accepted to a prominent university, she sets out on the road to independence. While in school, she develops a bond with Marten Demeester, a Jewish student who shares her goal of becoming a pediatrician.

The Nazis, aided by local collaborators, begin a process of arrest, deportation, and extermination of Dutch Jews, with Marten’s family targeted by a powerful Gestapo colonel.
The race to save their Jewish neighbors puts Jenny and Marten, now members of the Dutch Resistance, squarely in the crosshairs of the cunning and ruthless Gestapo. Failure could mean death for them and for their families and friends. As the Nazis close in, the pair is forced to make fateful choices. What price are they willing to pay to save others?

Don’t Call Me Jupiter — Book One “Tightrope”: Memoir of a Reluctant Hippie Kid
by Tom J. Bross
Genre: Biographies & Memoirs
FREE for a limited time
For fans of Running with Scissors, The Glass Castle, and Educated, comes a true coming-of-age memoir about a vagabond family led by a self-absorbed, eccentric hippie mother during the age of Aquarius. Devastating family drama, abandonment, and drugs are balanced with laugh-out-loud humor that will keep you turning pages. You’ll laugh, cry, and be left begging for more.
The story begins with an episode that occurred in 1974. When Tom Bross (age 12) experiences a sudden move from Davis to San Anselmo to live with their God Family. Just two months later they move back to Davis with no place to live. His brother and sisters are dropped off at their friend’s houses. Tom ends up in the garage of one of his mother’s ex-lovers. It’s from this dreary location that he recalls his family’s truly strange transition.
Led by his mother, the Martha Stewart of Hippies, they transform from a normal conservative, mid-western, Catholic family into a clan of liberal, psychedelic-bus-tripping, pot-smoking, nature-loving, California free spirits.
And with most dysfunctional families they come with a cost.
Author’s Note: “Imagine a 1970’s version of Shameless but with less booze, more weed, and way more hallucinogenics.”
Don’t Call Me Jupiter provides an accurate, visceral, entertaining, real-life perspective into the ups and downs of surviving a hippie childhood with a narcissist as a mother. As you dig deeper into his struggle you learn how to forgive what you can’t forget.
