Murder Most Pemberley by Jessica Berg
About Featured Book: Murder Most Pemberley by Jessica Berg
Eat a crumpet. Check. Say “bloody hell” in an English pub. Check. Solve three murders and fall in love? Definitely not on the list. But when England dishes up murder, even an American girl knows it’s time to channel her inner Agatha Christie.
American Eliza Darcy travels to Merry Old England to partake in a Darcy/Bennet family reunion for one reason: to solve the estrangement between her father and uncle. Not long after Eliza’s arrival and exploration of the vast estate of her ancestors, a dead body surfaces. Murder and mayhem replace afternoon teas and flirting with her British heartthrob. Eliza has every intention of keeping her snoot out of official Scotland Yard business, but when clues to the murder begin to merge with her investigation into her family’s rift, her inner wannabe sleuth self-activates.
With the help of her batty great-aunt and the sexy Heath Tilney, Eliza hurries to untangle the web of lies and secrets. As corpses start to pile up faster than the clues, Eliza fears the estate’s family graveyard will swallow another body: hers.

True Course – Lessons From a Life Aloft by Brigid Johnson
About Featured Book: True Course – Lessons From a Life Aloft by Brigid Johnson
Only .99 for the International Best-selling Memoir of a young woman’s journey to the skies. True Course: Lessons from a Life Aloft by Brigid Johnson is the story of a woman who yearned to fly and when she did, she had the experience of a lifetime. Brigid grew up in a small town where opportunities were few and far between, especially for women with ambition. But her ambition went above and beyond the usual; she wanted to fly. Aviation was a profession for men, but that didn’t stop Brigid from learning it and owning it. She started with two jobs, education, her dog, and her solo flying, and moved on to a successful airline career. She was happy with her life and her career, but that all was destined to change when her father’s health deteriorated and he needed help. Now she has to make a tough decision; should she hang up her wings to care for her father or abandon him when she just spread her wings to fly higher?
From Reader’s Favorite Book Awards – “I have yet to come across a memoir this riveting or engaging. Brigid’s story is better than most novels I have read. Her story is genuine, funny, heart-wrenching, emotional and very personal. I don’t know how she did it, but she made me find myself in her story and the situation she was in. I built an emotional connection with her, so I felt like flying when she was and devastated when she was not. This is one of those books that are written once in a lifetime and they stay with the reader forever. From her word choice to her development, everything was perfect and crafted with deliberate care. This is one of those gems that avid readers crave to find.”

True Tales of a Traveller Volume Two: Culture Shock & Other Stories
About True Tales of a Traveller Volume Two: Culture Shock & Other Stories
The book begins in late 1984 with the sixth tale in the series overall, Culture Shock. This story finds the young traveller (myself) taken from the relative orderliness of a life in London where he had been attempting, with mixed results, to pursue a career in travel (related in the fifth story of the series, A Career in Travel), and throws him into the furious assault on the senses that constituted life in the Indian capital, Delhi, at that time.
His attempt to integrate his love for travel into a regular, settled lifestyle in London had already begun to unravel even before he left the UK. After only a couple of weeks in India, his career as a travel industry employee has slipped into the past, replaced by an even more vivid and overpowering version of his pre-existing career as a full-time traveller.
The second story of this volume, Just A Businessman is set in India-administered Kashmir. At nearly 17,000 words, this account constitutes a lengthy short story which may need more than one sitting to read. In addition to being a travel story, Just A Businessman is also a story about religious and ethnic conflict and political upheavals, and the extents to which these can affect the life of a traveller, or an outsider.
At first, I was reluctant to include this story in the series, for fear of possibly incriminating people who may have violated local laws of the time, but have since learnt that such consequences are no longer possible, and the story can now be told without fear of consequences.
Overlanding (Part One) is the third story in this volume, and at over 46,000 words the longest story of the series so far, for one of the shortest periods of actual travel.
Of all my travels in the 1980s, in terms of time spent, undoubtably no journey made such a deep and lasting impression on me as this overland trip from Karachi to Rotterdam. Not only did it unceremoniously blow away many of my own preconceived notions of life in Pakistan and Iran, it was also a harsh lesson for me as a traveller in the virtues of being prepared for any journey into terra incognita. Additionally, the first part of the journey, from Karachi to the Turkish border with Iran, was relatively dangerous, not due to involving difficult terrain, but rather to man-made hazards. But overall, the journey turned out to be something I originally had never suspected for a moment it would be: an intensive course in the follies of racial prejudice and ethnic chauvinism.

For the Soul by Author Barbara Daniels Dena
About For the Soul by Author Barbara Daniels Dena
About For the Soul (A Collection of Short Stories) Just Awarded a 5-Star Readers Favorite Book Review.
Memories and fiction fill this collection of short stories with humor, heartwarming compassion, and spine-tingling fright from the author’s own life experiences and imagination she can barely control.
Quilts, children, and doggies have always played a large part in the author’s life. Therefore, it is not surprising to find stories of warm quilts wrapped around her tall tales or tails.
A trait the reader discovers in Barbara’s writing is that much like life, nothing within and between the covers of this book will be what one expects.

• Lorenzo’s Platonic Academy, where the greatest minds of the Renaissance gathered to discuss and debate the great questions of both the age and human existence
• The bloody attempt on Lorenzo’s life and his swift revenge
• The growth of Florence into both a city of great culture and great pleasure
• Savonarola, the religious fanatic who terrified Lorenzo and who ruled a city by fear and was finally burned at the stake himself

Probation Officer Madeleine Brooks was helping her client Henry Macgregor reintegrate into society after a long prison sentence. Henry is amiable, open about his anxieties and willing to take advice; so it comes as a shock when the police throw him back in prison, charged with murder.

But the more Maddie delves into Henry’s criminal past, the more she starts to be bothered by disquieting questions.
Was Henry guilty of the original crime? Or was the real murderer allowed to roam free while Henry sat behind bars? Now, coincidental to his release, a young victim is dead … Henry or somebody else?
And if so…who?

Eight Miles High
About Eight Miles High
Maybe you think I was replaying this conversation in my head after I yanked the ripcord. Maybe you think that after the parachute jerked me up and after the pain in my near-dislocated shoulders subsided into a steady ache, I applied my investigative faculties to the case at hand while drifting earthward like a fallen leaf, thinking, “This is quite a two-pipe problem.”
World War II veteran pilot Toots Magruder survived sabotage, criminal negligence, slander, and friendly fire during the war before crash landing her plane in the middle of a suburban Fourth of July picnic. But two of her former WASP cohorts have recently died and now she appears to be next on the killer’s hit list. Can detective Cat Caliban and her partner Moses Fogg catch the murderer before another plane goes down? Can Cat survive two plane rides, a parachute jump, and a round of golf?

Ordinary Days: A Poetry Collection
About Ordinary Days: A Poetry Collection
I’m of the opinion that in poetry there are no days too commonplace to capture. The most mundane has something of interest.
Each poem in this collection stands alone like an artifact for curiosity. The book is more like a museum displaying ordinary moments – and some not so ordinary – through images and lyric. They were written during the years 2016 through 2018. There are hybrids of haiku, senryu, other forms, and short to longer free-verse poems; all written in a contemporary style. Readers can enter any room at any time and start reading. A variety of poems to read–from the humorous, emotional, serious, reflective, to the profound with layers of meaning.
