How do I know I have an extra large cat? I heard my youngest basset screaming from the other room, “Sinny! NOOO!” I walked in to find my cat had decided that my 6 year old child was the perfect place to take a nap on and had my child pinned down. It almost looked like an elephant on a mouse. Once again I have saved the day and I am a hero to my children. Job well done.
Saving Justice (Dog Haven Sanctuary Romance Book 1)
Tasman Gibb
Genre: Crafts, Hobbies & Home | Romance
FREE for a limited time
Marlo Croft, canine behaviorist at the Dog Haven Sanctuary in Halo Peak, Washington, has her life neatly organized. The trauma of her past is well buried, her emotions tamped down, and rehabilitating and rehoming damaged and unwanted dogs gives her the focused, contained life that makes her feel secure.
The arrival of a new rescue dog, Justice, also brings the unwelcome distraction of a handsome stranger who is to shadow Marlo and Justice through the dog’s rehabilitation.
Suffering guilt over the death of his wife, New Zealander Adam Guildford’s short contract in the US to research dog fighting is what he hopes will pull him out of the limbo he has floundered in for the past four years. He arrives prepared to tackle the emotional and behavioral needs of the rescued dogs, but completely unprepared for the way his presence unnerves Marlo and awakens his own dormant feelings.
As they start to gain Justice’s trust, Marlo loosens her grip on her inner fears and the simmering attraction between her and Adam heats up. Adam works carefully to dismantle the emotional barricades Marlo erected, until one day he unwittingly delivers the horror from Marlo’s past straight to her doorstep, an action that tears the three of them apart.
This contemporary romance contains adult themes including sexual situations, language and mature subject matter.

2076: A Revolutionary Tale: All Systems Have Failed
Stephen G. Mitchell
Genre: Mystery, Thriller & Suspense | Science Fiction
FREE for a limited time
All systems have failed. The seas have risen, the skies have darkened and the American Midwest has become a desert. A handful of corporations own and operate the country and food is used as a means of oppression. The year is 2074. America is now a third-world nation and China, with its prosperous and burgeoning middle class, is the leader of the Free World.
Against this backdrop, a devastating raid by the wealthy ruling class on a stronghold of rebels fighting against the system inadvertently unites two enemies in a forbidden love that threatens to tear their worlds apart. Carlin Pheney, a decorated military pilot and member of the upper class, is captured by Aelena Hall, a veteran leader of the food wars. Together, they become fugitives on the run from a military industrial complex headed by Carlin’s father. Aided by strangers and betrayed by friends, they are swept up in an unstoppable global catastrophe.
When Aelena is captured and thrown into the Federal Torture Chamber on Guantanamo Island, Carlin devises a desperate plan for her impossible escape from the water-bound prison. Mystery and suspense pursue the two lovers across the oceans and around the world to a wild and newborn land. Here, if they hope to survive, they must face a terrible battle to colonize a new America and give birth to a nation.
In the tradition of literature with science fiction and political overtones that includes Nineteen Eighty-Four, Brave New World and Fahrenheit 451 comes one of the best new books of the year, the dystopian thriller 2076: A Revolutionary Tale—a book about a tomorrow ruled by the plutocrats of today.

The Quiet Assassin: Third Edition
Thomas Kirkwood
Genre: Action & Adventure
FREE for a limited time
From Original Book-of-the-Month Club Edition:
Here is a truly original thriller, comparable to the very best of vintage Le Carré. It is set behind the Berlin Wall in the heart of the East German police state and it features one of the most unique and winning heroines since Lucy in Ken Follett’s Eye of the Needle. Her name is Käte Frassek, a resistance fighter since the age of eighteen, who over the course of twenty years leads a double life in her courageous campaign to rouse her countrymen to revolt against their repressive regime. She is a wife, a mother, a scientist, a lover… and an assassin. Against a backdrop of the Cold War in the 1960s, an abiding love develops between Käte, while still the young wife of an East German official, and an American physician innocent of who she is and what she is doing. In the remarkable climax to her years of plotting against the head of the State’s secret police, she finally must risk not only her own life but her son’s and lover’s as well. (From the original hardback edition) DEATH MATE To kill the man who had killed so many, Kate would do anything. She would use her brain to work herself to the top of her profession. She would yield her body to go even higher up the ladder of power. She would risk her own child as a pawn on a chessboard of cunning move and counter thrust. But now she was being asked to make a sacrifice she dreaded. Not her own life that would have been easy. But the life of the good and noble man she passionately loved — so that the beast she hated might die….

Essential Vegetables Box Set (4 Books in 1 Package): Organic Gardening with Tomatoes, Potatoes, Peppers, Eggplants, Broccoli, Cabbage, and More
R.J. Ruppenthal
Genre: Crafts, Hobbies & Home
FREE for a limited time
This book is a bundled package containing four practical books on vegetable gardening. Together, they can help you grow over 30 different delicious organic vegetables in your home garden. These works are particularly helpful for beginning gardeners and anyone who has never grown these vegetables. They are appropriate for urban gardeners as well as others, since they cover both traditional gardening and container gardening for small spaces.
Each of these books is available separately, but this package gives you a discount on all four. The first book, How to Grow Potatoes, is one of my most popular gardening books. Everyone should grow these simple and delicious tubers in their yard, or in containers on their patio, doorstep, rooftop, balcony, or deck. I wrote Potatoes because there was a lack of good information out there on both traditional and innovative methods of spud growing. I saw some good books, but who really wants to pay $20 for a huge book about potatoes?
This book covers the basics of potato growing, walks you through all the information you need on selecting different types, proper soil, materials, planting, fertilization, watering, care, harvest, and storage. It also introduces you to some creative ideas for getting plants to produce more potatoes. Just the basics, no fluff, at a very low price people can afford.
Fast forward to the next book in this set, which is How to Grow Tomatoes, Peppers, and Eggplant. This is one of my newer books. Tomatoes are most peoples’ favorite homegrown gardening crop, and for good reason. Anyone who has tasted a homegrown tomato will tell you how much better it tastes than anything in the store. Peppers, including sweet peppers and spicy chili peppers, generally are recognized as the second most popular home food crop in the United States, Top 10 in the United Kingdom, and popular elsewhere also.
Why eggplants? As Asian and Italian gardeners will tell you, they’re really good when grown at home. As with tomatoes and peppers, the home organic gardener suddenly has access to dozens of different varieties of eggplants (hundreds, or maybe thousands in the case of tomatoes and peppers!). They are WAY yummier than the store-bought ones.
Tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants are all so closely related that their growing needs and habits are very similar. So once you learn to grow tomatoes, then you can pop in a few eggplant and pepper plants, treat them the same way, and they will reward you with lots of delicious organic vegetables. Once again, this book is a concise guide to growing these three veggies, leading you through proper site selection, planting them from seed or seedling, appropriate support from stakes, cages, or trellises, proper watering, fertilization, and care, and three advanced tips for pampering your plants into producing lots and lots of really good tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants. It’s all here.
Third in this set is my How to Grow Beans and Peas book. With the rising cost of food, more people need to learn how to grow some of their own protein. These wonderful legume plants provide you with a dirt cheap source of high quality protein and vegetables in both warm and cool season weather. Beans, peas, lentils, soybeans, mung beans, adzuki beans, cowpeas, limas, green (snap) beans, sugar snap peas, snow peas, runner beans, fava beans…they’re all in here. You will learn the differences between bush and pole varieties and how you can make the most of your garden or container growing space using either one.
You also get Fall and Winter Gardening, a great book which is a de facto guide to growing 25 different cool-weather vegetables, including broccoli, carrots, cabbage, spinach, beets, parsley, collards, kale, lettuce, endive, mache, cress, and more! This book guides you through garden preparation, determining when to plant in your area for a late-season harvest, proper organic care and fertilization, extending your season, and harvesting and storing your produce.
