It’s crazy how we are going from heating blankets and sweaters to having all the windows open all night long and wearing shorts. I think all my plants went into shock as well. I am hoping this crazy weather doesn’t kill my very tender little carrots. I am amazed how long they are taking to grow. I have never grown carrots before, but I would think after two months they would be more than two pencil erasers high. With yesterday’s high of 89 degrees, I am pretty glad my hubby was able to put in extra vents in the ladies coop. With how it feels outside this morning I might have awoken to chickens that were slow cooked overnight.

It began nearly four hundred years ago. The Conall clan and all their people were murdered in a surprise attack, their beloved castle and all evidence of who destroyed them burned to the ground with their bodies. In the centuries following, archaeologists searched through the ruins looking for any evidence of what or who had caused the untimely demise of such a powerful Scottish clan. All efforts were fruitless, until a spell put in place by an ancient Conall ancestor finally began to work its magic…

Texas kindergarten teacher, Brielle Montgomery, finds comfort in the mundane routines of her life, but when her archaeologist mother asks her to accompany her on a dig in Scotland, she decides to step out of her comfort zone. Once in Scotland, they discover a secret spell room below the castle ruins, and Bri finds herself transported back in time and suddenly married to the castle’s ill-fated Laird. Now, she must work to change the fate of his people, all while trying to find a way to return to her home and century. But with each passing day, Bri finds herself falling more deeply in love with her new husband. If she can find a spell to bring her home, will she use it? And if she stays, will it ultimately mean her own death as well?

Cherry City Pulp
by Jeff Allen, Franky Martin
5.0 Stars (3 Reviews)
Genre: Teen & Young Adult | Humor & Satire | Humor & Entertainment | Contemporary Fiction | Literary Fiction

FREE for a limited time

Casey McGregor is a high school sophomore living in Salem, OR who lost the birth lottery — abandoned by his mother to an alcoholic father, he wastes time playing Call of Duty and shooting “stuff” in his back yard. A friend of the homeless, hopelessly bullied at school, Casey manages to do well enough, trying simply to ride everything out until he can graduate and leave for college.
But the shootings have drawn the attention of the police and young lawyer Courtney Lawson, who’s forced to go on ride-alongs to learn Salem’s beat — and ensure the cops don’t foul up the DA’s investigations. As the investigation continues with no suspects, Lawson muses on her past and the contradictory and often confusing world of men and relationships.
Removed from the controversy and born lucky, Hunter Foxx, playboy star shortstop for the San Francisco Giants heads home to Cherry City for the offseason thinking of women, fishing, and some well-deserved vacation. Little does he know Salem has it’s own black hole for him: 17-year-old Destiny Smotherman–a generational beauty, young, voluptuous, and innocent, complete with a fake ID and a nose for trouble.
Like Casey’s father, Mr. Scott — his teacher — likes to drink. However, he loves his students and is well liked by most everyone — except for North’s administration, who don’t take kindly to his emails about student safety. Black clouds gather, and Mr. Scott soon finds he either needs to keep his mouth shut or kiss his job goodbye.
As the tale wends and weaves, our characters’ stories become intertwined, stakes are raised, and justice is doled out to all involved, culminating in an American tragedy with which we’ve become all too familiar… A whirlwind of satire and social commentary, Cherry City Pulp is at once familiar and foreign, boldly challenging the reader’s notion of what is–and is not–moral, right, and just.
