I have talked enough about Christmas over the last few weeks. I blame this on Hallmark’s Original Christmas movies in July, but I seem to be past it now and I need to worry about more pressing issues. Halloween. Yes yes.. I know..too early, but it’s not. This year I want to to win the group costume contest at the Willits KOA Halloween Spectacular this October. It’s a pretty popular event, and once you have booked a spot, you get first rights to that spot the next year. This of course means you see the same people year after year. This will be our third year. The past few years the same two families have beat out everyone for best costumes and best group costumes. There is no doubt they deserve those awards. Their costumes are AMAZING! Seeing what their costumes are each year is a huge part of the fun. I think I mentioned it before that I want the whole family to be Demigorgons from Stranger Things. But the costumes can’t just be regular costumes…they have to have that special something something added, so I am going to try and make the faces open up to scare people. Hubby thought it would be too complicated, but one tiny search on YouTube came up with some great results. No reason to reinvent the wheel. Just YouTube it!!

— Think Fast. Talk Faster. —
A vault full of French fascist gold just waits to be taken.
It’s the early days of 1940 and Paris has settled into the new normal — a war where no one’s bothered to show up. As uncertainty permeates the darkened City of Light, a secretive organization works to concentrate the wealth and power of France with a select few. For them, Hitler is an ally.
For Les Boots, things could not be more in their favor. After a decade of breaking hearts and getting by, the sexy and sophisticated trio of con artists decide it’s time for something completely different. How hard, after all, could heisting a vault be? With the help of an English boy’s gift for forgery, a German Jesuit with a knack for truck engines and hopscotch, and a Danish soloist who keeps her fingers loose by busting strongboxes, Le Boot Hill Gang mount up and take on le beau monde of Paris.
They’re sure they can deal with the dogged investigator, the murderous terrorist, and the nasty rival gang. They think they can even manage when the neighbors to the east finally get around to invading.
But none of them counted on the relentless pursuit of a spoiled society girl, out to get whatever — or whomever — she wants.

Hubbert & Lil: The Complete Series
by Gallagher Gray
Genre: Mystery | Mystery, Thriller & Suspense
FREE for a limited time
A WITTY, URBANE TEAM OF SAVVY, SOPHISTICATED SENIOR SLEUTHS TAKE MANHATTAN BY STORM!
To know Aunt Lil is to love her. Everybody’s favorite senior amateur sleuth is eighty-four years young, with a taste for Bloody Marys at any time of day, a fine-tuned appreciation of life’s other pleasures, and a world class talent for detecting. Her nephew, Theodore Hubbert — T.S. for short — is her witty, beleaguered sidekick in a quartet of wild adventures that careen from the staid Wall Street bank where T.S. spent thirty years, through Hell’s Kitchen and Manhattan’s fashion world, with a grand finale at the ballet.
The dynamic partners in crime reveal an impressive array of smarts, street savvy, and moxie, mixed with a poignant compassion for those embroiled in the professional jealousies, chilling family secrets, and sexual predation they uncover.

THE GODLESS MEN
by Matt Cutugno
Genre: History | Westerns
FREE for a limited time
In the classic American Western-style, veteran author Matt Cutugno weaves a riveting story of two men struggling to survive in the days following the Civil War in his new novel, THE GODLESS MEN. The time is 1868. Three short years after the awful destruction caused by the war. The place is the Kansas-Missouri border. A land savaged by years of bloody fighting.
Two men share a common past. First as boys riding for the famed Pony Express; then as soldiers bravely serving opposing sides in battle. One blue. One gray. When the war was over, they each sought new lives. One became the sheriff of Lawrence, Kansas. He is a good, though lonely, man who sought peace in troubling times. The other, a rebel from Missouri, now a hired gun, who found himself a wanted man, accused of terrible crimes.
Destiny brings them together again in THE GODLESS MEN as their lives play out against a backdrop of the post-war exploitation of the West. Railroads rule the day as the seemingly endless prairie becomes more civilized, driving the Indians further from their ancestral homes, while slaughtering the vast herds of wild buffalo. Moneyed and greedy men are everywhere. They pull the strings and call the shots.
Amidst such volatile days, can a sheriff find contentment in the law and can an outlaw find solace running from it? Only time and fate will tell.
