Guilt makes you do things you wouldn’t normally do. I am currently feeling a bit guilty about my oldest basset. Football season has started and for the next two weeks it is about about getting the kids back into shape. Five days a week, two hours a day, it is nothing but running, pushups, sit-ups, more running, up/downs (sounds dreadful) and more running. I know it is good for them, and they are young and can take it, but when that boy comes home completely drained and the next day so sore he can barely move, I feel bad for him. I feel even worse when I tell him he has to do it all over again the next day. So I decided that he would not be alone in his pain. I decided it was a good time for me to start exercising again as well, and since misery loves company, I am making my youngest join me. My youngest is not happy about this at all. I don’t feel bad though, because if I have to suffer, he does as well. Weird how that works.

Raven’s Choice (The Replacement Chronicles Book 1)
by Harper Swan
3.8 Stars (61 Reviews)
Genre: Literature & Fiction | Historical Fiction | Action & Adventure

FREE for a limited time

What possible link could Mark Hayek, an introverted twenty-first century research scientist, have to Raven, a young woman who lived during the late Pleistocene? It has everything to do with an encounter between a band of Early Modern Humans and a group of Neanderthals intent on hunting bison.

As meticulously researched as Jean Auel’s Earth Children series but with the benefit of recent discoveries, this novella is an updated story revealing how contact between Neanderthals and Early Humans had surprising results.

After an injured Neanderthal hunter is taken captive, Raven, as a healer, feels she has no option but to become his advocate. Her own survival soon becomes doubtful when the band’s leader threatens to cast her out onto the steppe for what he sees as dangerous willfulness.

Raven feels an unexpected empathy for the mysterious Neanderthal. But while trying to preserve his life and health, will she go so far as to commit what could be the worst error of her own life? Mark Hayek will never find out that Raven faced a frightening dilemma. But if he did know, he would understand that the present reality exists because of choices made in the past.

Uncle and Ants: A Silicon Valley Mystery (Book 1)
by Marc Jedel
4.5 Stars (180 Reviews)
Genre: Mystery, Thriller & Suspense | Mystery

FREE for a limited time

Mysterious attacks. Mischievous nieces. Can a clueless uncle catch a tech-savvy killer… and be home before bedtime?

When a freak accident hospitalizes Marty Golden’s sister and condemns him to babysitter duty, he thinks it’s just another case of hardwired bad luck in Silicon Valley. Until a suspicious murder suggests the mishap was no mere coincidence. Something must be done.

Too bad this quirky, fashion-backward uncle isn’t exactly hero material.

Convinced his sister is in mortal danger, this amateur sleuth follows clues to an oddball array of suspects. Armed with nothing but an eye for detail and powers of self-delusion, Marty tangles with gangsters, a cantankerous school secretary, and a perplexing woman he can’t help but fall for. Glitches in his investigation seem like a piece of cake compared to dinner-prep and bedtime stories with his two precocious, pre-teen nieces.

Can Marty catch the culprit, save his sister, and get his life back in order before he gets unplugged?

Uncle and Ants is the first novel in a refreshingly modern mystery series set in Silicon Valley. If you like clever humor, sassy side characters, and average Joes facing extraordinary circumstances, then you’ll love this twisty mystery.
