The sun is out and the days are getting warmer. This week at least. I heard it was going to rain next week, so I am going to enjoy the nice weather while I can, sick or not. Yesterday was a wonderful taste of warmer days top come. My partner in crime gave me the wonderful news that our bees were very active, and that it might be time to add another level to our beehive. When we had opened it the bee box, I was shocked and so delighted! So many busy little bees! The hive we had acquired from a beekeeper as a swarm late last summer was doing so well! We won’t talk about the first hive. Lets just say it is currently bringing shame to the family.

Alastair (Ghosts of Ophidian Book 2)
by Scott McElhaney
3.9 Stars (43 Reviews)
Genre: Science Fiction

FREE for a limited time

In the future, all galactic trade will be dependent upon one universal resource. It’s a necessary commodity that is quite heavy and thus very expensive to launch into space, especially when you require enough of it to support a large crew for an extensive journey. That universal resource is water and there’s one little outpost in the Kuiper Belt that holds the contract for mining and supplying this valuable commodity.

Theophilus has spent his entire life aboard the vastly populated Oort Station along with thousands of others who were merely a byproduct of their ancestor’s occupation. When his older brother stows away on a departing Galactic Cruiser to chase after a possible conspiracy, he winds up becoming another statistic in the mystery of the missing ships. It would be years before Theo would discover that his brother may not have been so crazy after all and that indeed, ships were heading out of the system but they weren’t going to Ophidian or Legacy. And sometimes, the ships weren’t returning at all.

Thicketty (Banneck Family Chronicles Book 1)
by Jerrold D. Peeler
4.3 Stars (41 Reviews)
Genre: Contemporary Fiction | Historical Fiction

FREE for a limited time

Set in what was then part of Spartanburg County in South Carolina, Thicketty follows the lives of Walt Banneck and his son, Cal, through three of the most tumultuous decades of the nineteenth century. During this time, a war is fought and lost. While navigating through a world turned upside-down, the path before them is one that pits them against both the law and the lawless.
Walt, who had been shunned by his pious neighbors before the war, returns home to become not only a successful farmer and entrepreneur, but the area’s champion as well. Meanwhile, Cal, who idolizes his seldom-at-home father and receives little kindness from his mother, is drawn into the bosom of the farm’s Negro family. For everyone on the Banneck farm, especially Cal, day-to-day life is monotonous and dull. That changes when Walt decides that his children should receive at least a rudimentary education and arranges for the young and beautiful Sammie Trivette to be their tutor. Cal is immediately and totally smitten, but decides to keep his love a secret until he has something more to offer her. That day finally comes, and with it a series of events that would test the mettle of the strongest men.
Theirs is a story of love and hate, of protectiveness and treachery, of compassion and vindictiveness, but above all, it is one of youthful determination and the undying hope that tomorrow will be a better day.
