I have a preying mantis keeping me from progress. I have been clearing out my yard of the dead plants getting things ready for winter, but there is one plant I can’t move, because there is a preying manti living in it. It’s just a bug. Squish it and move on. Dump it in the trash with the rest of the yard waste. I feel horrible just saying such a thing, and I certainly don’t believe it. I love preying mantis. They have got to be one of the coolest bugs. For gosh sakes…THEY CATCH AND EAT HUMMING BIRDS! Google it, it’s crazy. (heavy sigh) Fine…. I will wait the little bug out.

A shtikel mazel iz vert merer vi a ton gold – a Yiddish proverb that means “a little bit of luck is better than a ton of gold”. But when you find a dead man wrapped in plastic in the trunk of your Cadillac, you need more than a little luck. Much more. Avery Fish is on trial for mail fraud, but he didn’t commit murder. In fact, he has absolutely no clue how a decapitated, plastic wrapped body ended up in the trunk of his caddy. Sexy, brilliant attorney Lou Mason has known Fish for years. Hell, they went to the same synagogue. Fish may be a gonif, a Yiddish term meaning thief, but he was no murderer. The victim, already looking like an extra in a bad zombie movie, is identified as a defendant in a sexually charged lawsuit. Mason has to team up with a sharply intelligent federal agent from his past – a stunner with a hidden agenda who may be playing some serious head games of her own. Final Judgment delivers Mason at his wise-cracking, brilliant best. Get your copy today for a thrill ride that just won’t quit!
This action-packed story will consume your imagination and keep you riveted with white-knuckle intensity right to the shocking end. Goldman cleverly weaves a serious tale of murder, fraud, betrayal, and, yes, sexually charged prose.

It is then, at the young and vulnerable age of seventeen, when Lady Anna Maria Berezowska loses both of her parents and must leave the only home she has ever known. With Empress Catherine’s Russian armies streaming in to take their spoils, Anna is quickly thrust into a world of love and hate, loyalty and deceit, patriotism and treason, life and death.

Anna, a child no longer, turns to love and comfort in the form of Jan, a brave patriot and architect of democracy, unaware that her beautiful and enigmatic cousin Zofia has already set her sights on the handsome young fighter. Thus Anna walks unwittingly into Zofia’s jealous wrath and darkly sinister intentions. Forced to survive several tragic events, many of them orchestrated by the crafty Zofia, a strengthened Anna begins to learn to place herself in the way of destiny–for love and for country.

Genre: Cookbooks, Food & Wine
FREE for a limited time
From Mama Li’s Kitchen to yours. Learn to make delicious egg rolls, spring rolls, and dumplings with Mama Li’s best recipes Mama Li showed me everything I know about cooking Asian foods. One of the fondest memories I have from Mama Li was helping her make dumplings, egg rolls, and spring rolls for a friend’s wedding. It was a family affair, and everyone was helping out. We were doing everything from rolling the dough, making the shapes, making the fillings, folding the egg rolls, spring rolls, and dumplings just right, cooking them and finally getting them packed and ready to go. We had made what seem to me to be thousands of them! She had 12 different kinds of filling, and each one had a different shape. It took us two full days to make all these little packets full of goodness. Some she would fry, others would be steamed, and some were just baked in the oven. They were all done from scratch. For those two days, we ate, lived, and laughed dumplings! They were the best that I had ever tasted. It has become a tradition in our family to cook like Mama Li. In this book, you will find a collection of her best recipes for egg rolls, spring rolls, and dumplings… and a few bonus recipes!
