Go ahead and hate me for mentioning it, but YAAAA!!! The Halloween decorations are at Costco now, and bonus… the decorations are on sale at the craft store. The smell of pumpkin spice smacked me as soon as I entered the craft store and I swear I started drooling and got crazy eyed. I personally want the holiday season to last as long as possible and if that means starting it as soon as last year, I am down with that. Of course if you asked me that last January I wouldn’t want to touch the holidays with a ten foot pole. That was then, this is now, so bring on the skeletons and Santas!
In the Crosshairs: Russian Historical Thriller (Nikolai Volkov Book 2)
by Julia Gousseva
Genre: Mystery
FREE for a limited time
Nikolai Volkov. Hero. Soldier. Warrior. An elite bodyguard and a top-notch investigator, he is one of the brightest stars in Moscow’s VIP Personal Protection Agency. But in every warrior’s life there is a turning point. One case. One messy, tangled case that can shatter a career and make him question his own values, morals, and loyalties. For Nikolai Volkov, this is that case.
Moscow, Russia, the turbulent 1990’s. The last vestiges of socialism are coming down. The world is changing. And a man is killed on a quiet suburban highway. Then, an attempted kidnapping. Nobody knows if these crimes are related. Nikolai has a challenging mission: Protect your client, solve the murder, and get the situation under control. But the situation is impossible to control. Within hours, another man is murdered in his apartment. Then things really spiral out of control.
But Nikolai won’t quit. He’s a combat veteran of the Chechen war with a passion for finding truth and doing the right thing. Before the social and political turmoil in Russia changed Nikolai’s life, he had planned to follow in the footsteps of his father, a decorated military hero. Now, he’s fighting a new kind of war.
With the help of a young female investigator, he embarks on a deadly hunt that leads them from the glitzy Moscow downtown to a posh suburb to a desolate rural area where he confronts an enemy he didn’t know he had. As he encounters and uncovers an intricate web of secrets and lies, Nikolai is forced to question everything he used to believe about his country, his career, his values, and himself. Things are rarely what they seem, but Nikolai is willing to risk it all to find the truth. What he discovers as he untangles the convoluted family drama are desperate desires, envy, and a murder plot more chilling than anyone could have imagined.

Love, Art, and Ham Sandwiches: a novel
by Ingrid Nichter
Genre: Humor & Satire | Literary Fiction
FREE for a limited time
Rupert Quinn was an artist. Technically, he also happened to be a burglar, but his conscience was clean. He had a pretty good life–nice apartment, decent car, and a job that gave him enough free time to pursue his artistic visions. The only thing missing was a girlfriend. Rupert had his eye on Kathy, the deli girl at Food World, and he had a plan. It was a brilliant plan–not the traditional way to a girl’s heart, but if all went smoothly, Kathy would have to notice him.
Despite some difficulties with the rope climbing, everything was coming together seamlessly. Until Wyatt Lowell showed up and threw a monkey wrench in the works. No problem–Rupert came up with a second plan. Also brilliant.
It backfired even more spectacularly than the first.
