I heard my new frogs singing in the garden last night. OH MY! They are very loud. I started to have a few regrets about adding them to the garden. I wonder if their singing is annoying my neighbors. I wonder if I shouldn’t get the hundreds of tadpoles that my friend has in his pool currently, and will deliver to me on Friday. Hee hee hee. Ya… I’m going to ask myself on Sunday if it was a bad idea as I watch all my new tadpoles swim around their little pond. MWAHAHAHA

A FUN BRITISH VILLAGE COZY MYSTERY PACKED WITH TWISTS AND TURNS!
THERE’S A BODY IN THE ATTIC…
Claire Harris is excited to get the keys to her candle shop finally. A foul smell coming from the attic, however, turns her excitement into a living nightmare. There, she finds the body of Jane Brindle, the owner of the tearoom, which had stood in the heart of the village for decades.
Jane’s eventual retirement at eighty after years of fruitlessly hounding her daughter, Em, to take over the tearoom sent her to the south of France, or so everyone assumed. Jane never left Northash, but nobody is admitting to knowing what happened to her. Accusations fly everywhere, with many fingers pointing at free-spirited Em, and even some at Claire for daring to change the status quo.
How did Jane end up dead in the locked attic after having supposedly left the village for a new life under the sun four months previously? How is Jane’s impossibly wealthy 102-year-old mother, Opal, involved? Someone close to Jane killed her, but can Claire find out who before her candle shop dreams crumble around her?

The Streets of Sundown
by John Glasby
Genre: Thrillers | Westerns
FREE for a limited time
A showdown eight years in the making…
Lone gunman Bret Manders is on his way to the frontier town of Sundown, with only one thing on his mind.
Vengeance.
The town of Sundown is in the iron grip of Darby Wicker.
A sadistic power-hungry man, Wicker came west after the Confederates were defeated.
By the time the Sundown folk realised what a snake he was, it was too late. He had his finger in every pie in town.
Not only that, but he murdered the Sheriff in cold blood and appointed the cowardly Sheriff Veldon in his place.
Turning his eye to the local ranches, he schemes to buy them all out and cement his monopoly on Sundown.
He doesn’t care much if they refuse him – he’ll just burn their ranches to the ground.
With Washington convinced the West has been tamed, Wicker knows the US army won’t trouble him and the town will be powerless to stop him.
But he doesn’t count on Bret.
Hellbent on revenge, Bret’s been hunting Wicker for eight years – and it’s personal.
But even he can’t believe how bad things are in Sundown.
Sheriff Veldon is as yellow-bellied as they come, letting Wicker’s murderous gunmen do as they please.
In fact, the only person Bret trusts in Sundown is Fay Saunders – a singer at the Golden Ace Saloon.
For some reason, she wants to see Wicker dead as much as Bret does.
Meanwhile, despite Wicker’s attacks on the ranchers, none of the ranches want to form an alliance of sort.
It’s a fine mess but Bret knows that if he gives the ranches and decent folk of Sundown some hope that Wicker can be driven away, they’d be on his side.
And where better to start cleaning out Wicker’s corruption than on The Streets of Sundown…
A classic Western, The Streets of Sundown is a thrilling and gun-toting story.
