I still have a lot to say about our trip to Europe, but right now I am a bit tired of talking about it. Everyone I see asks me about the trip and I feel like I just keep saying the same thing over and over. I was working on a diary about the trip, but I found myself rushing through things just to get it over with, and that’s not how I want to write about it. I still haven’t figured out what I am going to do with my three hundred pictures of doors and cobble stone streets. I think that is another reason to bake cookies this weekend. I have been thinking so hard about how to organize all the pictures that I am really stressing out about it. Heck! I only have the first two years of my baby basset’s pictures organized and they are eleven and twelve now. I am ten years behind!!

Resting Witch Face (Paranormal Cozy Mystery) (The Witches of Madison County Book 1)
by Hazel Hendrix
4.6 Stars (78 Reviews)
Genre: Mystery | Mystery, Thriller & Suspense | Fantasy

FREE for a limited time

A town full of witches that can’t keep a secret. A mysterious murder that threatens to expose their way of life to the world.

Flower farmer and average witch Gemma Iren has a big problem: a dead body. At first she thought it was a ghost, of course. Those are commonplace in Dewdrop, her magical hometown. Good luck explaining that to the police when they ask her why she didn’t call to report the suspicious death.

The witches of Madison County don’t bat an eye when a dead boy turns up near the town square. Why would they? Not a single male family member has made it out of his twenties in countless generations. Her cousins briefly speculate about evil fairies and werewolves that may have killed him before their attention moves on to an upcoming annual celebration. Gemma doesn’t have that luxury. She’s a murder suspect now, with a mandate from beyond the grave to solve the crime.

To make things worse, Dewdrop is overrun by tourists eager to rediscover their magical roots. Gemma already has enough cousins as it is! She’s related to everyone in town. And these witches are in hysterics about the clueless strangers who found their names on some annoying genealogy website listing the descendants of the family matriarch. Her ghost is scheduled to visit and bless the town, but this year Grandma is not very happy.

Now it’s up to Gemma to solve a murder, appease an angry spirit, and convince these crazy witches to keep quiet about magic as two hunky police officers investigate their community. All this on top of her hexed, apathetic brother moving back home, a close cousin with a potion addiction and an anxiety disorder, and two bickering great aunts. Oh, and a magical flower business to run.

Gemma is usually an optimistic girl, but it’s no wonder she’s got a bad case of Resting Witch Face.

The Teutonic Knights: The Catholic Church’s Most Powerful Warriors
by Conrad Bauer
Genre: History | Politics & Social Sciences

FREE for a limited time

The Teutonic Knights are said to be the toughest warriors the Catholic church ever had during the crusades and discover how this Catholic order has influenced our history and even, present times.

The Teutonic Knights may receive less attention than the other two Catholic orders of Crusaders — the Hospitallers and the Knights Templar — but their history is just as storied and complex as that of their monastic peers. They were founded in the Middle Eastern fortress of Acre in 1190 AD, and the duress of this war-torn pressure cooker developed in the Teutonic Knights a ferocity that has rarely been matched. The Teutonic Knights were tough — so tough that on some occasions just the sight of their heavy armor, huge broadswords, and helmets with horns reaching to the sky was enough to send their enemies into a full-blown panic.

Here in this book, we will explore the finer points of this mysterious order. We will cover who the knights are, where they came from, and where they may go in the foreseeable future. From the Crusades of Acre to the battlefields of World War Two, to the Teutonic organizations of today, we leave no stone unturned as we tell the story of this intrepid group of fighting monks. Come along with us as we delve into the history of the Catholic Church’s most powerful warriors.
