Book Basset
Always on the hunt for the best Kindle dealsUse That Word
I keep seeing all these super cute DIY decoration ideas and I really really want to try them. Problem is, I try, but rarely ever succeed. Plus if there is a hot glue dispenser involved I am sure to burn myself. Seriously! What the heck is it with hot glue dispensers? Why do they have to burn me every..single..time. Just a note, I say hot glue dispenser because I wasn’t sure if I could use the proper term. I just freaked myself out. I can’t stop thinking about the real word for hot glue dispenser, and if it’s okay to use it. Hopefully this obsession with the word keeps me from going to the store, buying a bunch of supplies for a DIY Christmas decoration, and failing at it miserably with multiple burns from a hot glue dispenser. Geeez.

The Test Pilot’s Wife
by Mark Wayne McGinnis
Genre: Metaphysical | Historical Fiction
FREE for a limited time
The Test Pilot’s Wife is the bittersweet saga of Lura Lee Dunn and WWI flying ace Eugene Hoy Barksdale. Written in the spirit of The Aviator’s Wife and The Second Mrs. Astor, this historical fiction novel features cameos from such notable characters as Jimmy Doolittle and Amelia Earhart.
WWI is waning in Europe, but Lieutenant Barksdale’s near constant aerial combat missions have taken their toll. Homeward bound — his physical wounds are healing, while haunting mental wounds linger.
Lura Lee Dunn is an aspiring concert pianist, whose own personal battle is just beginning. The women’s suffrage movement is on the rise, emboldening her to break free from her prominent father’s outdated expectations. Unexpectedly, at a posh Hollis House gala, she meets a young pilot, one just home from fighting the Jerries over France. There is no ignoring Barksdale’s quick wit and Southern charm. But try as she might to avoid the young aviator, Lura finds herself drawn to him.
Barksdale quickly rises in the ranks as one of America’s top test pilots. Soon, Lura hears accounts of the young pilot’s dramatic exploits — breakneck aerial races, parachuting from planes, and so many death-defying crashes — that the man seems to border on the suicidal.
Lura readies to leave — to study at Chicago’s renowned Perfield Music School. Tying her fate to the enigmatic pilot, will only bring disaster into her life. But even as dark clouds form in the skies above, she cannot ignore the pull, or the need, to stay.

Genre: Thrillers | Mystery
FREE for a limited time
Murder leads to the White House
Marko Zorn, a Washington, D.C. homicide detective with expensive tastes in art, classic cars, and women, must take on extra work — not always strictly legal, often unorthodox and usually dangerous — to supplement his income — work which requires his special combination of skill and steel nerves. Although he’s adept at navigating the corridors of law enforcement and the world of criminal gangs, he’d prefer to stay home and watch old movies, enjoy his art collection, and listen to cool jazz.
When Zorn discovers the body of a Secret Service agent — a supposed drowning victim — it leads him to a domestic terrorist group with tentacles in the White House — a White House that does not want this death investigated. As the demands of his professional life escalate, Zorn’s alternate career heats up, placing him in the middle of competing D.C. crime bosses feuding over a shipment of illegal arms — making Zorn the hunted and the hunter. He needs to avoid becoming the victim as he navigates the twin forces of evil closing in on him from his legitimate job — facing down political power — and his secret side job.
