I really hate to admit this, but I think I might be the messiest person in the house. I am constantly cleaning up after myself. I am always doing some sort of project that creates a huge pile. Always a huge pile! So many stupid piles. I clean them up, but then I start another project! It doesn’t even matter how tired I am, I always start another project. Thankfully I always complete the projects, but you would think I would give myself and break and not start anything new. NOPE! Hubby keeps all of his projects contained to the garage. Maybe I need my own garage. We live in the suburbs, so it might be a bit tricky to pull it off. I can’t imagine it’s impossible though… hmmm. A new project.
Murder in the Desert (Jake Stewart Mysteries Book 1)
by Mike Cassidy
Genre: Humor & Satire
FREE for a limited time
Who knew a murder or two would turn Jake Stewart’s life around?
Jake was supposed to be trying to figure out his life after being abruptly downsized from what he considered the best job in the world — being a reporter in a fast moving, big city newsroom. Now, he was wandering the Southwest in the Beast, an aging RV that was his only home in the world. No job, no prospects, no love. Then in the fading moments of a brilliant sunset in the Mesa country of Arizona, he hears cries for help, and stumbles across a half-dressed woman standing over a partially buried body among the red rocks. And everything changes.
When Jake talks to the local newspaper, he learns the dead person was the paper’s editor. The publisher, desperate to save the floundering paper, asks Jake to fill in. At first reluctant to return to the occupation that rejected him, he accepts the offer — and rediscovers his passion for being back in the news game. Then the publisher disappears down a dark, deep hole.
Using his skills as a reporter and spurred on by an unexpected romance, Jake follows the clues… but as he gets closer to the killer, the killer may be getting closer to him… and his new sweetie.
If you like lovable but oddball characters in a colorful setting, red herrings, an intriguing plot, fast-paced writing, then you’ll love this laugh-out-loud Jake Stewart mystery.

Which is too bad, because they both kind of wish they had said no when they show up for the dinner date and realize they’ve met before–and not under happy circumstances. But fate seems determined to prove that they’re not so wrong for each other after all, because in spite of the intentions of both Paisley and Joe to nip this whole unfortunate blind date thing in the bud and go their separate ways, events transpire to keep them together for an evening involving muggers, foot-chases, and even a high-speed trip to the ER– And that’s all before dessert. Dating: it’s not for wimps…

The Disappearance of the Surcouf: The Mysterious Sinking of the Allies’ Largest Submarine during World War II
by Charles River Editors
Genre: History
FREE for a limited time
It takes a special type of person to serve in a nation’s navy, especially on long voyages that separate men and women from their loved ones, and no service is both loved and hated as that aboard submarines, for very few people ever serve on them on a whim. For one thing, the psychological impact of being trapped for long periods underwater in tight, cramped quarters is more than many people can stand. Also, submarine service is uncharacteristically hazardous; after all, if a surface vessel is sunk, the crew has a reasonable chance of escaping death in lifeboats or being rescued out of the water by another ship. Conversely, if a submarine is badly damaged while submerged, the crew’s chances of survival are at best remote.
Given that there’s such little margin for error in a submersible, many submarine losses remain sources of intrigue and mystery, and during World War II, few sinkings were as controversial as the Surcouf, a Free French submarine that disappeared in the Caribbean in 1942.
When the Surcouf launched in 1929, it was a technological marvel. This wasn’t a conventional submarine at all, but a 3,300-ton, 300-foot-long submersible light cruiser. Armed not just with torpedoes but also a pair of eight-inch guns, the Surcouf had a range of over 10,000 miles and was equipped with a seaplane in a hanger and a prison capable of holding up to 40 prisoners. When it was launched, the submarine looked like something out of the novels of Jules Verne, and many people believed it would make all existing submarines (and many surface warships) obsolete…
