This year we decided to camp at a new lake and Lake Mendocino seemed like the best choice. Camping right on the water’s edge, large trees for shade, and my uneducated guess says there are Honey Badgers. I haven’t actually seen any Honey Badgers, but there are some pretty large holes in the ground that looks like a rhino can run through them. I am guessing they are not for rhinos because I am only slightly sure we don’t have those here. It would be just my luck that a zoo nearby would lose one while I was walking the mile to the bathroom.

As boundaries shift, feelings long ignored rise to the surface, jeopardizing Nick’s relationship with his girlfriend, his college education, and his future.

The Lady Leathernecks
Chiara Kelly
Genre: Contemporary Fiction | Women’s Fiction
FREE for a limited time
When painfully shy Starbucks barista Allyn Kend joins the Marines, she capsizes those who thought they knew her best. The only thing that makes sense is that her fianc’e Eliot was already a Lance Corporal. However, when she meets truckstop evangelist Jess Kellerman, Korean linguist Bibi Shim and Palm Beach hotel heiress Syth Sangiorgio in the bivouacs of boot camp on Parris Island, her whole concept of whom and what a Marine should be is broken down and rebuilt, along with her own humanity. Each sister has a secret; but also a thirst to prove herself in battle and in life. But despite caring and glaring differences, they realize they need one another to overcome the physical, mental and emotional obstacles that stand between them and the coveted title of Basic Marine or “Lady Leatherneck.” And that is just the beginning! As each Lady Leatherneck serves with differing intentions, they find out more about themselves and one another through the unique challenges of soldier motherhood, duty, deployments, love and loss. As “Globe” reporter Allyn drafts a feature story on human trafficking, MP Jess makes an unlikely arrest that will follow her for life. Meanwhile, linguist Bibi settles cultural scores with her family while deployed to her native Korea. But nothing is final until ostentatious Syth gets her baby back. Only together could they learn that while the Marine Corps may not be for everyone; it is for more than just one type of person. Combat is Human.

A Gift Of Two Silver Pistols
NanColeman
Genre: Historical Fiction | Teen & Young Adult
FREE for a limited time
When thirteen-year-old Ainsley Grant visits her grandfather after the death of her grandmother, she hears more about the exploits of her not-so-famous ancestor, the Revolutionary War hero Jack Jouett, whose daring midnight ride saved Thomas Jefferson from hanging at the hands of the British. But when she sees Jack on his ride in the middle of the night, she holds the fate of history in her hands. A wild, rollicking adventure full of humor, drama, and action, Nan Coleman’s debut is a fantastic tale that is as educational as it is entertaining. In 1781, right before the Battle of Yorktown, British General Cornwallis sends his second in command, the evil Banastre Tarleton, to Charlottesville, Virginia to kidnap senator and future president Thomas Jefferson in hopes of hanging him and ending the war in order to keep America under the jurisdiction of England. Unbeknownst to the British, however, Jefferson is dining with Patrick Henry and Benjamin Harrison at his Monticello home this night. A chance encounter with the Tarleton and his troops leads Jack Jouett to jump on his horse Sallie in the middle of the night, riding over forty miles on Indian trails through dense forest and across a river to reach Monticello before dawn and warn Jefferson in time for him to make his escape. In 2011, Ainsley Grant is visiting her grandfather not far from Charlottesville and once again is listening to the exploits of her distant relative, Jack Jouett. Intrigued, she decides to see his path through the woods and across the river — albeit at three in the morning, when Jack rode through. Shadows move and contort in the creepy night, around the shells of long-forgotten buildings and strangely shaped trees. But she gets the shock of her life when she suddenly sees Jack, and their chance encounter may very well change the course of history. More fun than a trip to any museum, A Gift of Two Silver Pistols will captivate your inner adventurer as it takes you on the wildest ride of your life!
