Winter was so cold, wet, and dreary that I though for sure it would never end. It wasn’t until last week that the sun finally came out. I had pretty much ignored my garden for most of winter. Going out only occasionally to weed, but then once the work was done, I ran back in the house to warm up. Last week I spent all of my free time outside. Partly because of the new pup Rosey and potty training. I have been working so hard outside I hadn’t really stopped to check out the fresh Spring blooms. This morning I went out to take a few pictures, and I was pretty amazed. I love all the color!

THE PORTSMOUTH MURDERS (Solent Murder Mystery Book 1)

Genre: Crime Fiction | Literature & Fiction | Mystery

FREE for a limited time

Meet Detective Inspector Andy Horton. It’s his second day back in Portsmouth’s CID and things aren’t going well.

Please note this was previously published as Tide of Death.

DI Andy Horton is on his morning run along an isolated stretch of beach when he stumbles across a dead man. Stark naked and bludgeoned to death.

Eight months ago, DI Horton’s life fell apart when he was suspended for misconduct. His wife kicked him out and stopped him seeing his daughter.

The young woman who’d accused him went missing and the charges were dropped, but his personal and professional life are still in a mess.

And now it doesn’t look good for a detective under suspicion to be the one to find a dead body. His colleagues don’t want him on the case.

But this murder will challenge Detective Horton in every single way. And when another body turns up with the same cause of death, Horton suspects he might be the next person in the killer’s sights.

Anarchy of the Mice (Third Chance Enterprises)
by Jeff Bond
4.1 Stars (147 Reviews)
Genre: Thrillers | Action & Adventure

FREE for a limited time

From Jeff Bond, author of Blackquest 40 and The Pinebox Vendetta, comes Anarchy of the Mice, book one in an epic new series starring Quaid Rafferty, Durwood Oak Jones, and Molly McGill: the trio of freelance operatives known collectively as Third Chance Enterprises.

How far could society fall without data? Account balances, property lines, government ID records — if it all vanished, if everyone’s scorecard reset to zero, how might the world look? What savagery would take hold?

The Blind Mice are going to show us.

— — — —

Molly McGill is fighting it. Her teenage son has come downstairs in a T-shirt from these “hacktivists” dominating the news. Her daughter’s bus is canceled — too many stoplights out — and school is in the opposite direction of the temp job she’s supposed to be starting this morning. She is twice-divorced; her P.I. business, McGill Investigators, is on the rocks; what kind of life is this for a woman a mere twelve credit-hours shy of her PhD?

Then the doorbell rings.

It’s Quaid Rafferty, the charming — but disgraced — former governor of Massachusetts, and his plainspoken partner, Durwood Oak Jones. The guys have an assignment for Molly. It sounds risky, but the pay sure beats switchboard work.

They need her to infiltrate the Blind Mice.

Danger, romance, intrigue, action for miles — whatever you read, Anarchy of the Mice is coming for you.

FREE for a limited time

Helen Ryes and Martha Littleword, two Americans living in England, become fast friends and amateur sleuths when a murder lands them in hot water. Killers unfortunately rarely stop at just one murder and the tome-filled libraries, ivy-covered manor homes, and lush countryside of England can be decidedly deadly!

When Martha’s Aunt Tilda runs afoul of a Cuban mafioso, the wig-loving queen of the poker tournament circuit goes on the run with her partner in crime, Jackie ‘Boy’ Divine. Terrified they will end up as divalicious shark bait, Tilda calls in Helen and Martha to find a priceless family heirloom, a sapphire and ruby necklace, she hopes will pay off her gambling debt.

The Roller Necklace is worth a king’s ransom, but it has a stormy past. Duchesses, pirates, bushwhackers, and lovers down through history have brushed up against its magic only to hold it for a short time. Now lost for over a hundred and fifty years, the necklace lies deep in a cave on Bob’s Knob, a rugged, pine tree-laden hill in the Ozark Mountains.

Enlisting the help of an irascible mountain man and a tough-as-nails water department manager, Helen and Martha race to find the necklace’s last resting place before The People can get their hands on it. This treasure hunt isn’t for the faint of heart. Come along for the girl’s southern homecoming, but beware. There are watchers in the woods, human and feline, and both have murder on their minds.
