If this is the storm of the century I should go hang out in Costco. Maybe make a little fort for myself and family in one of the racks.

Genre: Action & Adventure | War
FREE for a limited time
“I am an old man, and you’re very young. You can remember everything, that’s easy; you don’t have many things to remember. I, however, have almost 100 years of things to remember. So I recommend you have patience with me or leave one of those voice recorders and then you can try to figure out what I’m talking about. If not, you can listen and ask questions. “Patience is hard to cultivate in your younger years. Now, when we are on the downhill ride, patience comes easy, we’ve seen it, done it, and been there. So what’s it going to be?” I had the immediate answer and I felt it was the answer he wanted. I said, “I would want to stay with you and hear it out. That way I can clarify things as they come up.” “Good show, young feller. I was there through most of it. I know, knew them all. Bragging? No, just stating facts.” “I believe that it all started in the 1980’s. People marched, people protested, campuses were disrupted and then came Belize. “You probably only know what you recently learned, in school, about Belize, but there is much more to the story than they tell in the schools. Especially under that old misnamed Department Of Education. Education wasn’t its main occupation; it was mainly an appendix with no use at all except to reward political supporters with a title and an airplane.” “But that useless organ was finally closed down. But let me get back to the story. During the American Civil War and the years after its end, thousands of Confederate sympathizers and former soldiers left the southern United States to go into exile in other counties. Evidence suggests that more Confederate soldiers went to British Honduras, presently known as Belize, than any other single site.” “Why was that sir?” “The weather, the lack of government control, the fact that they spoke English as a primary language and not many people knew what or where British Honduras was. If the Federal Government wanted to take reprisals against former officers and politicians they couldn’t find them in a place like that. “Not only that but I would venture them folks know how to cook up a rack of ribs. Not to mention a pot of pinto beans. What caused the United States to breakup in the series? Listen to an old man relate the story to a young reporter. The old man was there from the beginning. He saw it all. The breakup of the States and the rise to preeminence of the Coalition. Foreign intrigue, military action, friends and today’s headlines.

The Annie Szabo Mystery Series Vol 1-3
Meredith Blevins
Genre: Mystery | Anthologies & Literature Collections | Anthologies | Women’s Fiction
FREE for a limited time
One of the most original detective duos in fiction: A freelance journalist and her Gypsy mother-in-law!
Freelance journalist Annie Szabo has a way of attracting… unusual experiences. Together with her pushy mother-in-law Madame Mina, the combination is as combustible as a Gypsy funeral. These two are as funny as they are clever, and their hilariously querulous relationship is the real fun of the supernatural cozy series.
Once you marry into a Gypsy clan, just try to get out! Annie Szabo loved her husband, but after his death, she was only too happy to leave his outrageous clan behind, especially Madame Mina, tarot reader, psychic advisor, and philosopher – with her signature accessories: a man (or two) and her red pumps. Some might call them madcap, zany, eccentric; but really one word says it all: Gypsy. Well, that, and juicy: pulsing with the rhythms – and juices – of life, birth, and death, with the California wine country wind in your hair.
THE HUMMINGBIRD WIZARD When her oldest friend and former brother-in-law, Jerry, turns up dead, Annie’s plunged back into the family she tried to leave behind. Annie knows Jerry’s murder was not the random street robbery the police believe it to be, but how is she supposed to prove it? As Annie turns amateur detective, THE HUMMINGBIRD WIZARD turns sexy. Truth to tell, it’s probably one of the sexiest mysteries you’re ever going to read, but not because it’s explicit–there’s just something about that… wizard. Lawyers, criminals, kink, aerial artistry, magic, and more murder mysteries, coupled with Blevins’s trademark humor, make for a delicious — and very funny– supernatural cozy, with a healthy dose of romance.
THE VANISHED PRIESTESS Annie is heartbroken when her neighbor and good friend, Margo Spanger, the owner-operator of a New Age circus that helps support a home for abused women, is murdered. She’s also frightened — her own daughter is an abused wife who’s a resident of Margo’s project. Along with Annie’s grandson. The plot thickens as quickly as a roux– Margo’s partner, Lili, goes missing the day of Margo’s death, causing the shelter to fall into disarray, thus threatening its residents, and the detective team of Annie and Madame Mina swings into action! A fast, funny, and very original paranormal murder mystery.
THE RED HOT EMPRESS Nudged by her Gypsy mother-in-law, Madame Mina, freelance journalist Annie Szabo writes an article about Jimmy Qi, an Asian boy with the power to heal through music, which is right down the Szabos’ paranormal alley. But their good intentions soon put the youngster in danger. Everyone, it seems, wants a piece of the rising star of San Francisco’s Chinatown — including a shady evangelist, the FBI, the tongs, and a man who talks to dolphins. After two suspicious deaths, Annie and Jimmy go on the lam, not knowing whom to trust or why.
