It is very annoying how hard it is to sneak past a sleeping dog. What’s worse is it’s impossible to sneak past three sleeping dogs. I work from home, and I need to get my stuff done before I take the baby bassets to school each morning. If the puppies are up forget about it. Nothing gets done. When Junebug wakes up she just wants to find the next place to fall asleep, so she is easy. Casper is a different story. He wants to go outside and take care of business. Then check the food bowls for leftovers, and after that he sniff at both of my sleeping boys. After a few pets and cuddles from me he settles under a blanket on the couch. The puppy is just pure chaos when she wakes up. Rosey wants to play and annoy Casper as much as possible, so I become the referee at 3:30 in the morning. I am not a patient person at 3:30am. I might be downright horrible. So what do I do? My new thing these days is to jump out of bed right before the alarm goes off and get out of the bedroom to the other side of the house as quickly as possible. Usually within ten seconds. I haven’t actually timed it, but I am pretty sure I am stealthy. Stealthy like a moose. In all honesty I don’t think I am going to be able to keep this up. I almost broke my neck three times running to the other side of the house this morning. I don’t have time for broken bones. EEK!
Flag Boy (The Tubby Dubonnet Series Book 10)
by Tony Dunbar
Genre: Thrillers | Mystery
FREE for a limited time
A FRENCH QUARTER MASSACRE, ANOTHER IN MISSISSIPPI, AND A JIGSAW OF A PLOT!
Never have Tony Dunbar’s diabolically complex plotting, on-the-nose characters, and hawk-like ability to seize upon and capture everything New Orleans been on better display than in his jaw-dropping new thriller. FLAG BOY, the TENTH entry in his popular Tubby Dubonnet series, is Dunbar’s most wickedly clever mystery since his Edgar-nominated CROOKED MAN, as dark and stormy a tale as ever slithered its noirish way out of New Orleans.
The set-up alone’s enough to make you believe in the butterfly effect. Two acrobats burglarize a house; a sultan moves into a French Quarter mansion; a Mardi Gras Indian, in the wrong place at the wrong time, is wrongfully arrested; and our hero, lawyer and sometime-detective Tubby Dubonnet, comes upon a double murder while paying a social call in the wilds of Mississippi. Thus is the stage set. You know instantly– because this is a Tubby Dubonnet mystery– that these disparate events are intricately intertwined.
Next, as Elmore Leonard famously never said, all hell breaks loose– and with more than a touch of Leonard’s own brand of wry and knowing humor. You can barely turn the page before a bloody massacre leaves the sultan’s entire family dead; the Indian– now Tubby’s client– gets fingered for this one, too; one of the acrobatic burglars hooks up with Tubby’s best friend; and some way, somehow, Dunbar weaves each of these wildly divergent strands– and a few others– into the kind of old-fashioned puzzle mystery they just don’t write anymore. It’s as if James M. Cain married Agatha Christie.
Nobody but Cain could pack a plot the size of all Louisiana into a space the size of a French Quarter balcony, and nobody but Christie could pull off the kind of riddle wrapped inside a mystery inside an enigma she pioneered. Dunbar does both– and all in one slim, thrill-packed book. Although perhaps at this point his long-time fans are thinking Wait! How does he work the food in? There’s always food! Well, that’s there, too.

Dystopian, sci-fi survival trilogy.
The Third may think they’re still chasing Avery DeTornada and her quirky, powerful crew, but Avery has other plans.
With the help of Degnan (The 28 United’s unholy alliance), Pasha abandons Avery’s leadership, creating massive cracks in Avery’s strategy.
For five years, Avery DeTornada and The 28 United ran from The Third, strengthening their following of loyal ones. Finally settling in Colony G, located in an abandoned zoo west of the Waters of Erie, Avery, Shaw, and McGinty build an air fleet of zooms and prepare to strike The Third, now relocated in the city of Ash.
Pasha goes rogue, planting herself inside The Third, trying to take them down, promising her own brand of energy to fuel their ultimate weapon, the fishborns. She tries to manipulate her status inside The Third, but Commander Dorsey proves to be a formidable foe. Continuing to experiment with reverse-locasa, Pasha’s discoveries challenge allegiances.
With escalating danger between The 28 United’s quest for justice and The Third’s determination to hold governmental control, Avery discovers she is not yet done learning how to make the hard choices of command.
As The 28 United’s zooms fly out for the attack on Ash, and as The Third’s fishborns ready for release, Avery must make an earthshaking choice, and she can’t afford to make the wrong one.
The face of the enemy is much more complicated within its borders.
