My poor youngest baby basset. He is wondering if everything I have ever taught him is a lie. Well… I do lie often as a parent. Comes with the territory. So anyway, here is what happened. We were both out for a walk around the neighborhood to get some fresh air and exercise, when I noticed new neighbors working on a house a few streets down. Paint buckets and flooring were scattered all around the driveway. I saw one of them in the garage so I decided to wave and say how excited I was to see the house getting some TLC. She invited me inside to see the progress her and her husband had made. YAY! I love seeing remodel projects. Inside my youngest and I went and she gave us the full tour. Very interesting. At the end of the tour I gave her a few tips on the neighborhood, mainly about walking paths and how the neighbors at the end of the street go all out for Christmas. As my youngest and I walked away he said to me, “I thought we were never supposed to go into strangers houses, or in her case, let strangers in our house.  My only answer was, “You are correct”. So how about them 49’ers? Think they will do good this year?

Rose is a rancher at heart. There’s no doubt in her mind that if given another chance, she can make a success of homesteading. She will not fail this time.

People scoff, saying ranching is too much of a job for a lone woman to undertake. But Rose is no ordinary woman. She may be petite, stylish, and beautiful, but she is also strong and driven.

Jesse Rivers carries his own baggage on his wide shoulders. He’s been called home by a dying stepmother to take over the Rocking R Ranch and the care of a belligerent and wounded brother.

A rugged, lanky cowboy, Jesse is also demanding, surly, and afraid to love. No, he can’t love. What if he has buried inside him the same volatile anger as his father, resulting in brutality by strong fists or a whip?

Then Jesse meets Rose. Strong willed, outspoken, determined, and oh-so-desirable.

The Northern Blockade (Charles Dollimore Book 1)
by M. C. Smith
4.3 Stars (221 Reviews)
Genre: Action & Adventure | War

FREE for a limited time

May, 1916.

The First World War is raging and Lieutenant Charles Dollimore is serving on HMS Warspite with the Home Fleet.

He wants to make his new son, Philip, proud when he is old enough to ask, ‘What did you do during the war?’

Then the Warspite’s squadron runs into the German High Sea Fleet off Jutland.

Witnessing the violence and the death haunts Dollimore.

Many years later, war looms once again.

Suffering from memories of Jutland, Dollimore makes an error in judgment that results in the loss of fellow sailors. He is discreetly sent to serve out of the way on the China Station.

As the Second World War about to break out, Dollimore is looking for vindication and serving in China is not going to do it.

Some at the Admiralty are not convinced he can serve, but he is given the benefit of the doubt and command of HMS Burscombe, one of the most powerful cruisers in the Home Fleet. After all, he was at Jutland.

For over two hundred years the Clark family has been producing successful officers for the Royal Navy.

Rear-Admiral Harper Clark is well respected at work but his family life is another matter. His youngest son David has no interest in serving but Harper will not stand for that, not with war coming.

David is also in love with Maggie, a girl from the village. Thinking that love is greater than the barriers of class, they make their feelings known, opening up a past history of hate between the families.

When David’s sister, Patricia, is dealt a serious blow by the fortunes of war, she adds fuel to the fire by claiming David is not a Clark at all, but the product of their mother’s affairs.

It is time for him to face his father and get answers, but what is the Old Man’s true agenda?

Meanwhile, the war machine gears up.

Home Fleet exercises are being run and an economic blockade of Germany is planned as the winds of war whirl. Seeking out the enemy on the turbulent seas, some men will prove themselves; some will barely hang on to past glories – and when the real battles begin, Jerry does a lot more damage than anticipated.

Reminiscent of Herman Wouk’s The Winds of War, The Northern Blockade is a story of the human impact of war, and the actions that leaves scars deeper than skin.

A puppy parade, quirky garden gnomes, and a mysterious death mean puzzle lovin’ Chloe and her faithful companion Max are on the case again…
Second in the Treehouse Hotel Mysteries series!

Chloe and her mom are busy fixing up the adorable Buttercup Bungalow at the treehouse hotel when Chloe gets a disturbing call from her sister. It turns out Violet, the town environmentalist, has been found dead in the lobby of the local dog spa.

Violet’s staunch environmental stance shouldn’t have made her a target. But her constant protests and her questionable handling of the popular annual pet parade leaves Chloe with a seemingly endless number of suspects. A prominent town council member–and even Chloe’s sister–top the list.

The shocking clues Chloe and Max discover lead them down a path that jeopardizes the future of the hotel. With the help of some huckleberry scrub, dog walks in the park, and her slightly overbearing mother, can Chloe and Max tie up loose ends and outmaneuver the killer to keep their beloved, quaint town from becoming a concrete jungle?

Violets and Vengeance is Book 2 in the Treehouse Hotel Mysteries series. A light, cozy mystery in a small town with a puzzle loving, amateur female sleuth, quirky characters (human and canine), and enough flowers and pastries to fill your garden and your belly. No gore, swearing or cliffhangers. Can be read as a standalone.
