Came out this morning and I realized that I might have gone a bit overboard trimming this poor plant. I don’t think I was in a bad mood when I did it. It looked fine to me yesterday, but today it seems shorter than what I remember. The plant behind it, on my neighbor’s side, is what it looked like before I trimmed the one on my side. Hmm…. It’ll grow back, right?
The Hope That Kills: An East London Detective Mystery (DI Fenchurch Crime Thrillers Book 1)
by Ed James
Genre: Crime Fiction | Mystery
FREE for a limited time
A missing daughter. A cop’s worst nightmare.
A decade ago, DI Simon Fenchurch’s daughter was abducted from outside his home, destroying his marriage and his life.
Now, a young woman’s body is found in a derelict East London building, in the shadow of the City’s gleaming towers. No ID, just hard-earned cash.
Fenchurch takes charge but struggles to identify her or to piece together her murder. Worse, he’s faced with cruel indifference at every turn. To Fenchurch, however, she could just as easily be Chloe, his daughter still missing after ten years, whose memory still haunts him, his burning obsession to find her having killed his marriage.
When the discovery of a second body forces Fenchurch to peel back the grimy layers shrouding the London sex trade, he must confront his own traumatic past while racing to undo a scheme larger, more complex and more evil than anything he could possibly have imagined.

Christmas at Ruby’s (The Ruby’s Place Christmas Collection Book 1)
by Holly Schindler
Genre: Holidays
FREE for a limited time
~Christmas at Ruby’s is a novella that inspired an ongoing holiday series.~
Welcome to Ruby’s, where the Christmas spirit is alive and well.
Ruby’s Place (the classy family-friendly nightspot that once lit the night sky in the tiny fictional town of Sullivan, Missouri) is no more — closed for decades — but that doesn’t keep those who once shared an eggnog or plate of homemade marshmallows from remembering the tinsel-wrapped moments Ruby’s supplied come Christmas.
On a snowy holiday evening, feeling a bit down on her luck, a middle-aged Angela finds herself back at Ruby’s, staring through its foggy, grimy window to remember the Christmases she spent there with her favorite aunt as a child. Could the best Christmas present of all simply be spending one last moment with that special loved one, in a place where memories were born?
At Ruby’s, it seems, the “spirits” are not confined to just the dusty liquors behind the bar, and such a Christmas wish might not be made in vain.
