I wonder if the old toys in my baby bassets rooms are starting to get stressed out. They see the Christmas tree go up and they know that new toys are on the way. They also probably know by now that this is the time of year when some of them must go. I am sure they are saying their goodbyes now while they have the chance. MWAHAHA… I just totally made some of you feel bad and possibly secured another full year for some of the toys. That’s right…I’m working for them now. They promised me if I made you all feel guilty about even thinking of getting rid of some of them, that they would never let one of those painful Lego pieces jump under my foot again. Sorry everyone, but those Legos HURT!

Lesley Thomas
Genre: Teen & Young Adult | Historical Fiction | Literary Fiction
FREE for a limited time
1971, the Alaskan Arctic. “It was a time when much was hidden, before outsiders came on bended knee to learn from the elders. Outsiders came, but it was not to learn from us; it was to change us. There was a war and a university, an oil company and a small village, all run by men. There was a young man who hunted geese to feed his family and another who studied geese to save them. And there was a young woman who flew into the world of spirits to save herself… ” So relates Kayuqtuq Ugungoraseok, “the red fox”. An orphan traumatized by her past, she seeks respect in her traditional Inupiat village through the outlawed path of shamanism. Her plan leads to tragedy when she interferes with scientist Leif Trygvesen, who has come to research the effects of oil spills on salt marshes – and evade the draft. Told from both Kayuqtuq’s and Leif’s perspectives, “Flight of the Goose” is a tale of cultural conflict, spiritual awakening, redemption and love in a time when things were – to use the phrase of an old arctic shaman – “no longer familiar”.

Escape Clause (Murder Off Screen Book 1)
GA VanDruff
Genre: Romance | Mystery
FREE for a limited time
Oscar night. Jaqie Shanahan’s roommate and best friend, Jeep McBain, wins the statue for best screenplay. And disappears. Murdered? An accident? Fear of success? Whatever the reason, her fun-loving, womanizing, self-centered Jeep McBain vanishes without a trace — without even a good-bye. One year later, Jaqie has a successful screenplay of her own, and finds a new best friend in Madrille Keiser, Hollywood’s biggest star. But without Jeep to share in her success, Jaqie realizes it’s time to take a break. Time to come to grips with the hard truth that Jeep is forever gone. Turns out, she’s only half-right. Jaqie, her dog, and her gecko sail away for a working vacation in the Caribbean. She and her little tribe anchor offshore and decide it’s a great day to take the dinghy and do some old-fashioned beachcombing for seashells — like the pictures in the brochure. What they find is a dead guy in a great suit bobbing just shy of high tide, and a sort-of-dead guy in baggy shorts and a Hawaiian shirt chasing seagulls off the body. Jeep McBain may not be alive and well in Puerto Rico, but his ghost is. And he’s engaged.
“Jaqie, her name is Clarice. She’s real. Like me, real. We’re going to spend the rest of whatever this is,” he outlined his transparent torso, “together. We like all the same things. Plus, we were both bludgeoned to death. How great is that?” But, first… Jaqie must find out who murdered Jeep and the love of his afterlife so the happy couple can Move On. Provided… Jaqie can convince the chief of police that she did not kill Jeep. That she can keep the killers from killing her. That she can get the job done without Madrille’s head of security, Paul Bracken, getting in her way and under her skin. Constantly. Paul with the sea-green eyes and hair that is way too long and far too unruly for former military. None of which is listed in the brochure about seashells.
