I am starting to think I might be a bit crazy about my houseplants. I have said before that I wasn’t a big fan of houseplants. I hate the little bugs they attract, the dirt, and having to remember to water them. Unfortunately for me, I fell in love with Monsteras and that became a gateway plant to other little houseplants. So now I am here with over 18 green dependents that need to be cared for. I was talking to my neighbor the other day asking if her daughter would like to care for them when we go on vacation. I told her it would be pretty easy, and then went on to describe for three hours (more like 20 minutes) how to water them. How some can only have rain water, other need to be slow watered from the top and other watered only from the bottom. On and on I went. Hubby just looked at me like I was crazy and said I have way too much time on my hands. It’s a hard lesson to realize you may have gone too far. So I bought another plant later that day. SO CUTE!

An eviction. A stolen gemstone. A hidden network. Will retrieving her precious obsidian get Tricky killed?
Damn and blast! That rancid piece of excrement, Carter, has had her ransacked out of Clancy!
Tricky returns to her cottage to find it turned upside down. An action that means she’s got three days to leave the district or face punishment. Randolf Carter, head of the district, is spreading lies and suspicion about her kind, making life difficult. But it wasn’t just an ordinary ransacking – they were searching for something.
Using her gifts, Tricky traces the energy left by the men and spies another creature’s energy among it: a jackdaw. Swift and wily, it’s pinched her precious gemstone, a piece of black obsidian. But at whose bidding? Communicating with birds is a rare ability and she knows all who possess it.
Tricky wants her stone back, but coming up against people like Carter won’t be easy, especially when he’s got one of her kind in his employ. But she’ll handle it, oh yes she will. She’ll just have to be careful and a little bit tricky. Good thing she is then, isn’t it?

This Is a Safe Place
by Sophie Shulman
Genre: Crime Fiction | Mystery
FREE for a limited time
The gate was built to keep danger out. But what if the danger was already in?
The suburban gated community of Eden Village is a safe place, they are told. Enclosed by a thick stone wall with only one way in and one way out, it promises refuge from the violence, crime, and uncertainty of city life. The application process is extensive and the rules are strict, but for fearful residents, it’s a small price to pay to live in a community that hasn’t seen one instance of crime in fifty-five years.
To celebrate its crimeless history, residents participate in The Breach, a one-day annual event in which one person is anonymously assigned to carry out a harmless crime. This year, someone has broken into Gus Mercer’s cottage. It’s a simple crime but for one unusual detail: a riddle left by The Crook that hints of a more sinister intent. As a security guard elected detective for the day, Tom begins to follow its clues, encountering more riddles that reveal residents’ darkest secrets — including his own. Later that evening, Tom realizes that the break-in was a diversion from a much more serious crime: kidnapping. Battling The Association’s reluctance to disrupt the sense of safety and the increasing evidence that Eden Village is not what it claims to be, Tom must uncover the truth and confront his own chilling past to find the missing child before it’s too late.
