It was supposed to be a relaxing way to end the day. The boys and I were going to release the ladybugs into the yard. It was going to be fun and sweet and beautiful. It was….until they all started climbing up my arm. I went from a perfect mom to a screaming raving lunatic in 2.6 seconds, with two giggling boys running behind me catching ladybugs! Sure they are cute, but when a million (okay..10 or 15) of them start crawling up your arm it gets creepy. So was the scene, mom screaming hands waving frantically, ladybugs flying all around the yard, children laughing and jumping. Okay…it was fun.
The Sultan of Monte Cristo: First Sequel to the Count of Monte Cristo
Holy Ghost Writer
Genre: Action & Adventure
FREE for a limited time
“For so many years, passionate fans of The Count of Monte Cristo have suffered a loss upon finishing Alexandre Dumas’ last words. It is a grieving of sorts that has long been unmitigable… until now. The mysterious Holy Ghost Writer has penned “The Sultan of Monte Cristo” as a direct continuance of the story readers have long struggled against leaving behind. The adventure-laden journeys of Edmond Dantes continues in his newly-honed role as investigative reporter who publishes his book as part of the story. New life is breathed into those characters we all knew and loved (or loved to hate) in the original Count of Monte Cristo tale (what can now, finally, be referred to as Book 1). Haydee, the infamous Villeforts, and even Countess G are lifted from the stalemate of our beloved story and given new life, and readers will also be introduced to a host of colorful new characters (like the memorable Raymee) whose lives, loves, and circumstance flow comprehensively and effortlessly through the entire narrative.

When Alix accepts Nicky’s invitation to a grand ball in celebration of the summer solstice, the Queen calls on detective Trevor Welles to sail with them to St. Petersburg.

Protecting the Queen and Alix will be challenge enough, but shortly after the group arrives in Russia a third victim is dramatically revealed and the team is swept up in a wave of intrigue as they struggle to adapt to the fabulously wealthy and morally corrupt Romanov court.And when all the forces collide at the grand ball, Trevor and his friends will be forced to admit that, at least in Russia, the line between guilt and innocence is blurry indeed.

Baking Without Bothering: Muffins and More!
Rachel Wizenfeld
Genre: Cookbooks, Food & Wine
FREE for a limited time
For many people, baking has a bad rap.It’s fussy, it’s time consuming, there are so many available shortcuts like cake mixes and pancake mixes and it’s so easy to buy store-bought muffins.So why would you bother to bake anything from scratch?
But in my mind, it’s a travesty.Think of all the lives that could be enhanced by waking up to freshly-baked muffins and pancakes every morning instead of eating packaged Pop-Tarts and Eggos.Or think of all the office workers whose dreary days could be enhanced with some good, leftover homemade cupcakes.
So thus it became my mission: Bring baking back to the home kitchen so every man, woman and child can revel in heartwarming aromas and fresh-out-of-the-oven nibbles.
In Baking Without Bothering, you’ll find all the available tricks in the book to cut down on prep time and make baking foolproof and swift.I’ve tested shortcuts and created recipes that don’t require sifting, exact measuring or multiple bowls and steps.
My goal? To simplify home baking and bring it to the masses.Join us!
