I am so sad. So very very sad. Don’t feel bad for me though. I deserve this heartache. I just watched the trailer for A Dog’s Purpose 2, for the hundredth time. HUNDREDTH! I know it’s just a movie trailer, and I shouldn’t get upset. It makes me so sad for my pups that have past, so why do I watch it again and again? Partly to see Dennis Quaid. Yup, kind of a hottie. That guy is just so handsome. That smile. Hmmmmm….. Yup. Not feeling quite as bad anymore. Now I just though of the dog in the movie, and I am sad again. Dennis Quaid’s smile is pretty powerful, but knowing the dog dies in the movie multiple times is just too much for me, and I won’t watch the first or the second movie. I know I would ugly cry. Why would I do that to myself? Dunno, but while I am crying over a story about a dog I haven’t seen, my pup Casper is right behind me peeing on the floor for the millionth time. What the heck CASPER! The kid is a Ninja house pee’er. He is even peeing in rooms he has never been in. I bet he peed on the neighbor kitchen floor, even though he has never been there. This guy can’t be stopped. So many puddles! Not cool. You guys better check your floors. He might have left you a teenie tiny lake.

Badlands: A Post-Apocalyptic Journey (Mountain Man Book 1)
by Nathan Jones
Genre: Science Fiction | Science Fiction & Fantasy
FREE for a limited time
Although Tom Miller calls the Manti-La Sal mountains of Central Utah his home, he’s roamed all over the Southwestern United States in the ten years since global nuclear war destroyed civilization. When a convoy of settlers from Utah Valley fleeing the horror of a fallout zone larger than they’d realized offer him a job guiding them to a new life in Texas, he’s dubious of their chances of even making it through the badlands. But he needs a new horse and the pay is right, so he agrees.
Kristy Graham hasn’t left her little farming community in Utah Valley since before the nukes flew. But now, mourning the death of her husband to radiation sickness, she must get herself and her young son Skyler to Texas and the new life they plan to start there. It’s going to be a brutal journey pushing a handcart for hundreds of miles through some of the hottest, driest, most inhospitable terrain in the US. Thankfully she’s not alone, sharing the burden of handling the large cart with her friends the Hendricksons, who’ve been a second family to her and her son since their tragic loss.
It’s a long ways to Texas, where word of prosperity thanks to trade with groups in Mexico and nations even farther south has drawn a stream of settlers from all the nearby states. But rumors abound that the prosperity has also drawn bandits and other unsavory sorts to the area, preying on the convoys traveling to and from the new trade outpost.
The journey to Texas will be difficult and dangerous enough even without the threat of attack, and it’s on Tom’s shoulders to lead them safely to their new lives. Then he can get back to his own peaceful, solitary life up in the mountains. Or at least that was the plan before he met Kristy.

A thrilling paranormal fantasy novel revolving around a mysterious shop owner and his shop full of hexed antiques.
Retired stage magician Dr. Marvelry prefers to stock his antique store with strange and occult items.
