My poor kitty has fluffed back up to a weight that most vets would consider unacceptable. As soon as we got his diabeatis under control, he went right back to being the little piggy he was before. I guess I would be fine with this, but one problem, he takes up way too much space on the chair where I rest my feet while I am at the computer. he will not sit in that chair any other time, except when I am sitting there and I spend the whole time fighting for space. I thought he just wanted to be close to me, so I gave him his own chair. Nope he want the chair my feet are on. It’s hard fighting for space with an eighteen pound kitty. I can only fight him off for so long. It’s not fair when your special power is being dead weight.

Benjamin Clymer’s Gift
Marian D. Schwartz
Genre: Historical Fiction | Literary Fiction
FREE for a limited time
A story about a good man whose legacy was threatened by treachery and deceit. Benjamin Clymer was a farmer whose wife taught him to read when he was twenty-three. Devastated after her sudden death and the death of their infant son, he abandoned the farm and took a job as a carver in a furniture factory. Alone in a room in a boarding house, reading became his refuge. Books transported him into other people’s worlds, allowing him to briefly forget his own loss. Years later an impulsive visit to a college gave him an idea for a unique memorial to her. In the spring of 1927, he went to see an attorney, Charles Gustafson, to have his will drawn. The attorney listened with amazement to Benjamin’s plan for his bequest. He had never met a man as decent and trusting as Benjamin, who believed without question that his gift would be honored if there was a proper legal document. Gustafson drew the will, insisting on a clause that Benjamin found objectionable. The clause gave Gustafson a weapon in his eventual shocking battle with a college president to honor the terms of Benjamin’s most unusual gift.

The Rock Hole: A Red River Mystery (Red River Mysteries Book 1)
Reavis Z Wortham
Genre: Mystery
FREE for a limited time
In 1964, farmer and part-time Constable Ned Parker combine forces with John Washington, the almost mythical black deputy sheriff from nearby Paris, to track down a disturbed individual who is rapidly becoming a threat to the entire small Texas community of Center Springs. When Ned is summoned to a hot cornfield one morning to examine the remains of a tortured bird dog, he finds a dark presence in their quiet community. A farmer by trade, Ned is usually confident when it comes to handling moonshiners, drunks and domestic disputes. But the animal atrocities turn to murder, and the investigation spins beyond his abilities. After a dizzying series of twists, eccentric characters and dead-ends, Ned’s friend, cranky Judge O.C. Rains, is forced to contact the FBI. Worse, sinister warnings that his family has been targeted by the killer lead Ned to the startling discovery that he knows the murderer very well. After the failed abduction of his precocious grandchildren Top and Pepper, the old lawman becomes judge and jury to end the murder spree in the Red River bottomlands. With a heart-pounding pace, country humor and a stunning climax speaks to the darkness in us all. In bald-headed pot-bellied Ned Parker, Wortham has created an authentic American hero who will put you in mind of the best heroes and antiheroes you’ve ever experienced. The year 1964 was the end of an era in Center Springs, and the climax may well shock your civilized sensibilities.

Meticulously researched and exquisitely written, hope and sadness, love and loss are intermingled in this book – a book that will make you laugh, cry and want to take to the streets – and will make you question everything you know and everything you hold dear.

But if he’s going to win his girl back, he’s going to need to learn a new way of life. Country line dancing, guzzling homemade moonshine and getting rid of his custom-made suits are what it takes to fit into Sapphire Falls… and he’s got some work to do. Thank goodness Phoebe is the perfect coach. And everything will be just fine… as long as they can keep their hands off of each other and remember which hearts they are trying to win over.
