Mags and the AARP Gang


Mags and the AARP Gang

Nancy Lynn Jarvis

Good Read Mysteries

 Mags and her gang of renegade octogenarians have a deadline. They have to rob Bayside Community Bank, the bank about to foreclose on the mobile home park where they live, by a week from Friday so they can pay off the mortgage and save their homes. They’ve cased the joint, planned carefully, assembled their disguises, rehearsed their every move — what could possibly go wrong?

Plenty.

Some people think they can take advantage of the elderly. They haven’t met Mags and the AARP gang or they’d know better. Sure, they’re older, but not too old for the adventure of a lifetime or to risk everything for the sake of friendship.

Just Add Water


Just Add Water
Book 1~ Hetta Coffey Series

Jinx Schwartz

Kindle Direct Publishing

Can't get a man? Just Add Water.

Hetta Coffey is a woman with a yacht, and not afraid to use it!

A globe-trotting engineer with attitude, Hetta is working on coming of age—albeit a little late. Pushing forty, and still single, Hetta has left a life-long swath of failed multi-national affairs in her jet stream, so it is no wonder she prefers living with her dog, RJ. But old habits die hard, and trolling for triceps is Hetta’s hobby.
    
Plying the waterfront in search of Saturday brunch, Hetta’s attention is snagged by a parade of passing yachts—especially their predominantly male skippers—and experiences a champagne-induced epiphany: If she had a boat, she could get a man.
    
In hopes a floating Valhalla will overcome an all-time low water mark in her life, Hetta buys her dream boat in spite of a spectacular ignorance of all things nautical. It seems living aboard is just her cup of spiked tea until a shadowy stalker, an inconvenient body, and Hetta’s own self-destructive foibles imperil not only a fresh lease on life, but an unexpected romance.
    
Hetta Coffey brings a whole new meaning to the phrase “sink or swim!”

The Warlord's Comeuppance


The Warlord's Comeuppance

Gail Koger

Whispers Publishing

Stealing from a warlord and giving him the one finger salute as I made my getaway was not the brightest thing I’d ever done. Did I mention that this particular Coletti warlord is the most feared in the entire galaxy? That Zarek’s the ultimate predator and even the other warlords are scared spitless of him? That he never ever stops until he either captures or kills his prey?
