I am going to apologize in advance for talking about Christmas, but in my defense I have a really good reason for doing so. Because of the pandemic, most if not all of the arts & crafts fairs have been canceled. This is a huge blow to a lot of people who depend on those fairs for a good portion of their income. Those who had actual shops, had to close them. Horrible!! So, this year I have decided to support them as much as possible and do as much of my Christmas shopping online with them. I have been ordering a lot of SUPER CUTE personalized gifts. I am ordering them now to beat the rush. Since they are all personalized it takes them a bit of time to create the items, and waiting until the last minute is the kind of stress I do not need in my life. I am finding most of these shops on Etsy, and I was surprised at just how easy it is to order things. I know I am late to the game, but I think this will be the best Christmas EVER!!! I am so excited.

The Jack Hammer

FREE for a limited time
America is baseball, apple pie, and… Russian spies?
At the height of the Cold War, America needed a distraction. And it came in the form of Jack Myles, who burst on the scene hitting home runs with such repetitive force that he became known as the Jack Hammer.
Three decades after Myles’ tragic death, Anna Stepania walks into the office of private investigator Tim O’Connell and makes the crazy claim that Jack Myles is her father… and that he’s still alive.
Tim is skeptical, to say the least, but a search reveals that not only is Myles alive, he plays for a different team than everyone thought. The man widely considered to be an American hero was actually a Russian spy.
He also left his mark around the world with the children he’d fathered. All possessing his signature athletic ability. A Cuban pitcher. A Russian tennis star. And Cam Myles, the son whose own accomplishments could never compete with the ghost of his father.
And now that ghost is trying to kill him.
The Jack Hammer is forced to come out of retirement to teach his children a lesson, leading to a deadly showdown with the family he’d left behind. A reunion that has more fireworks than the Fourth of July.
Come for the memorable characters and fast-paced action of this modern day spy thriller. But stay for the mind-blowing ending you never saw coming.
Will the mighty Jack Hammer crush another opponent, or will he strike out?
