My latest craze are Alpacas. They a crazy adorable and that’s all there is to that. I am not going to go out and buy an alpaca, and I have no intention of putting up posters of alpacas in my room, but I have been playing the cutest alpaca game on my phone with my baby bassets. We even have a alpaca cheer that we scream out loud every ten seconds. ALPACAAAAAA!!! It’s a simple cheer and we didn’t put a whole lot of thought into it, but we enjoy it. My hubby doesn’t understand our alpaca craze, but he puts up with us. Now, I’m not into conspiracy theories, but can someone please explain to me how a man who doesn’t play the alpaca game, doesn’t do the alpaca cheer, and never googles alpacas, is suddenly getting alpaca video suggestions on his phone?
The Hummingbird Wizard (The Annie Szabo Mystery Series Book 1)
by Meredith Blevins
Genre: Women’s Fiction | Mystery | Contemporary Fiction
FREE for a limited time
This sexy, witty, suspenseful, and wildly original mystery paints the portrait of a vibrant family. When the Szabo women put their heads together, sometimes bending a few laws, balance and justice are restored… At least temporarily!
Moving on with her life after the unexpected death of her husband, Annie Szabo and her grown daughter are settled in, and finally earning some real bucks. But when Annie’s oldest friend, Jerry, turns up dead, she is plunged back into the family — an outrageous clan of Gypsies — that she tried to leave behind.
Suspecting murder, Annie must form an alliance with Madame Mina, her fortune-telling mother-in-law… the quirky heart of the Szabo family. Determined to catch Jerry’s killer, the two women — with the help of Annie’s daughter — unravel a tapestry wild with lawyers, kink, magic, threats, and theatrics.
To catch the bad guy, three generations of women pull out all the stops, using ancient curses, a talent for petty theft, love magic, a strong sense of humor, flirtation, and their family bond which is much stronger than death.
Rising from the mayhem is an extraordinary Gypsy man, the Hummingbird Wizard. Appearing in Annie’s life, and in her bed, he could prove to be the only person to bring the scattered pieces of the community, and Annie’s life, together. Or, he could tear it all apart forever in the wake of passion and revenge.

South Texas Drag
by Tony Molina
Genre: United States | Action & Adventure
FREE for a limited time
Take a trip through the South Texas terrain through the eyes of drug runner, Toño Garcia. His distinctive South Texas slang adds a unique charm to this dark story, but the appeal and originality doesn’t stop there. This guy knows more about style than Carrie Bradshaw, which adds massive flavor and a whole new twist to a tale about “crime as a way of life” in South Texas.
Toño sets the mood of every scene by describing the sagebrush and cactuses, the 100-degree heat, the dusty roads, and winding rivers. He sets the mood, too, cluing us into memories, his history. These tales–from the time he had to smuggle prize-winning horse jizz across the border, to the 55-gallon tanks that serve as human caskets for his “colleagues” the Bass brothers when drug deals go wrong–come together to show us that Toño is trapped, but surviving the best he can.
Toño puts on his favorite Bed Stu boots for this particular job–he must kidnap the girlfriend of El Commandante, in order to save his own life. Toño killed the one of the cartel’s son’s six months back in self-defense with his lucky tanto blade. You see, ain’t nobody better with a knife than Toño, expect maybe his uncle, El Maestro, the man who ordered this job.
Toño can’t go this alone. He calls on his crew: Rigo and Paco, and Jay–a bigtime ex con, old school drug runner, retired now, most of the time. Loyalty and self-preservation are everything to these guys. After all, that’s all they’ve got, well, that and drug running.
But things don’t go as planned. The girl they kidnap is not “the girlfriend.” It appears the whole job is a setup. Toño must go off the grid, in order to save his bros, his crew, his own life. Just another day in South Texas.
