I am so sore today from the gardening I did last night that I can barely move. The weatherman said it is going to rain this Friday, so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to fix a few bare spots on my lawn. Since I have no patience to wait for things to grow, I decided to buy three rolls of sod and get instant results. That turned out to be way harder in real life than it did in my mind. HOLY HECKEADOODLE! Those rolls were a million pounds each, since they were very wet, and I didn’t realize there would be so much digging up of the old ground. Hold on…I have to take a breath….this typing is killing my already dead arms… huff….puff…errrrg. Okay, I’m back. No more evening gardening for me…ever.

War is coming.

The Confederation battleship Dauntless has spent ten months patrolling the border, alone, watching for an attack from the enemy Union. Her crew is exhausted and the aging vessel needs repairs.With the fleet mobilized, and the forward bases overloaded beyond capacity, she is sent clear across the Confederation, to a base along the peaceful and sleepy sector known as the Rim.

But the quiet frontier isn’t what it seems, and when a distress call is received from a mining colony at the edge of Confederation space, Captain Tyler Barron must take Dauntless forward into the unknown.

Barron and his crew have their ship–and each other–but they can expect no reinforcements. His superiors believe that Union deceit is at play, that the attack is merely a diversion, intended to draw Confederation forces from the disputed border. Their orders are clear: no ships will be transferred from the front. Stopping whatever is happening on the rim is Barron’s responsibility, and his alone.

Barron’s grandfather was the Confederation’s greatest hero, the father of the modern navy. His name has always carried great privilege, and crushing responsibility. Now he must prove that he has inherited more than just a name. He must face the enemy, and win the victory.

Before the Confederation is caught between two enemies and destroyed.

Duel in the Dark is the first book in a new series from USA Today Bestselling Author Jay Allan.

Something’s not quite right, and Ali is both curious and concerned.
During this visit, Ali vows to stop being a bitter doormat and stand up to Janelle. But when Ali discovers a secret that has the potential to destroy Janelle’s career and tarnish her reputation, will she expose her sister, or, for the sake of family unity, will she protect her? Can the sisters finally come to terms with each other, admire their achievements, and ignore their faults, or will their relationship continue to disintegrate, bringing bedlam to Willoughby in the process?
Someone has to take the first step: Will it be Janelle in her stepladder stilettos or Ali in her ratty, old running shoes?
