The SHELL KEEPER is Magical Realism

WARRIOR DOG is Mystery/Action

The Shell Keeper by Christine Nolfi  

In South Carolina, magic is as plentiful as sweet tea.

Thanks to her aunt’s unwanted generosity, policewoman Lei Texeira has embarked on a vacation—of the supernatural sort. She’s staying on the beach in a frothy mansion that resembles a baker’s confection. Pixie, a Southern belle with enough bling to open a shop on Rodeo Drive, manages the place.

When Pixie reveals a local woman reputed to have psychic powers wants to meet Lei, the invitation is anything but welcome.

What Lei discovers about the sorcery of belief, and the love promised to her future will begin to heal wounds she’s carried for far too long.

A Keiki Mystery: Warrior Dog by Emily Kimelman

One pack. One dog. One enemy. One mission: protect the family.

Descended from the Drover Dogs of Rome, Keiki has quite a legacy to live up to. The Rottweiler ancestors followed men into war, helped heard animals, and protected flocks from predators. All these tasks took great skill to bear the responsibility.

In the modern world, Keiki's role remains much the same. She must protect Lei and her family. They are her pack and in need of her protection.

But what can she do when the enemy is fire? How will Keiki save her family from this raging, uncontrollable beast?

Book Blast for STARDUST DREAMS by S.B. REDSTONE

STARDUST DREAMS

by S. B. Redstone

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

Lance Forrester is a dreamer. After a celebrated career as an astronaut and engineer, he and a friend build a secret spacecraft to seek their destinies in the stars. But his friend dies and Lance is diagnosed with terminal cancer. Desperate not to succumb to his fate, he convinces an acquaintance, ailing actress Sage Saint Claire, whom he hasn’t seen since high school, to join him on his quest to reach an advanced alien civilization which can heal them both. Unfortunately, true life is not a Hollywood movie, as much as Sage might want it to be, and problems abound. Mistakes in the past have turned Sage into a bitter old woman, and she turns out to be a less-than-perfect traveling companion which no amount of optimism, youth, or good health can cure. Can these two intrepid octogenarians-turned-immortals overcome the emotional scars of their pasts and achieve true happiness, or are they doomed to suffer for their mistakes, no matter how far from Earth they go?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EXCERPT:

I knew that the truth in my heart reflected in my old, weary eyes. “Yes, I do. Look, I’m no slick-talking salesman, as you can see. I’m just a scientist and engineer, but I truly believe there is a statistical probability of success. But even if I’m wrong, and our voyage ends up to be pointless, so what? Think of the fun you’ll have. Imagine the excitement and wonders of space travel that come before our long sleep.” I paused to dramatize my resolve and let a burst of quixotic energy erupt from me. “Cherish the adventure!”

It wasn’t her fears that I was battling against, but a lifetime of distrust. My confidence in a successful mission collapsed. “Of course, you have no reason to believe a word of what I’ve told you. You don’t really know me, except through my noted accomplishments. But I can’t disappoint you because I’m only offering friendship and hope.” I pushed my point harder. “Sure, we can die here on Earth. We can die in space. Or we can awaken on a remote and caring world that saves us! We are the captains of our fate, not the Grim Reaper—yet!”

Moditional professional silicone 1/2 sheet baking mat

Silicone is pretty much my favorite kitchen invention, and silicone baking mats are my favorite. 

This one is a great one!! It is half sheet size which means 11 3/4 x 16 1/2 inches.  It is non stick straight out of the package. Which means no more butter or oils added to your baked goods.

Think about how much money you will save and time!! No more cooking sprays, oils, butters, aluminum foil or parchment paper. This is also good for the environment, no aerosol sprays, nothing to throw away. And these literally wipe clean with a little soapy water. 

I keep mine rolled tube style and secured with a rubber band in the pantry they take up very little room. 

They do not leave any taste on your foods either. 

I received this product in exchange for my honest opinion.

Kyasi Stylus Pen and Laser Combination Gadget Review and Giveaway

This 3 in 1 pen and laser combo is really a cool product. This is everything you need to make your point. You can write notes, use your tablet or phone, and the laser pointer is really cool you can point to parts of a presentation board, or make your cat nuts while you are bored.

The laser takes 3 little button batteries which do come with it. The pen writes black, and the stylus end is a really cool microfiber material. 

The stylus end makes using your touch screen devices a whole lot better, writing with it is the best i have ever done. Coloring with it is super easy way easier then doing it with your finger or a plain stylus. 
 I chose the lavender one but they do have these in 6 other colors, Red, White, Blue, Purple, Black, Silver and dark Green.
 The Kyasi company is allowing me to give one of these to one of you wonderful readers, and you get to pick your color. Just enter below.

MIRA Electric Milk Frother and Cappuccino Maker

The MIRA Electric Milk Frother and Cappuccino Maker is amazing. It is electric and one touch. Just put your milk in and push the button and within about a minute you have frothed milk. This frothed milk makes the best hot chocolate ever, oh yea it will heat your drinks for you. It has a heat sensor so your milk will not overheat also. 
 In the box is milk frother jug with transparent lid, a power base with cord, a frothing whisk and instruction manual. 
  I have a small battery run frother that takes forever to froth milk or mix drinks completely, I never knew until now just how much I really needed this frother in my kitchen. 
 It is summer in Florida but the kids still love chocolate milk, both hot and cold and this handy gadget makes both possible and does it quickly.

Keeva Tea Tree Oil for Acne Treatment

 Keeva Tea Tree Oil for Acne Treatment is a very good product for acne breakouts not just on your face. It has an surprising smell it does not smell at all like tea tree oil, which to me is very strong and not very pleasant, this on the other hand is a very lite good smell, something I honestly cannot explain. It does not offend your nose while you have it on your face like some acme creams and most tea tree oils.
 A little goes a long way, so this little jar should last a while.

Wholefood Multivitamins Review

As far as I can tell these vitamins are great, they meet and/or exceed some of the main brands that you find in stores. I really love that they are a fruit and vegetable blend instead of a concoction from a lab somewhere of unknown origin.
 There us a 30 day supply in the bottle. They are a little big and you do have to take 3 a day which is the only reason I gave them 4 stars. I am not a big pill taker. Even with them being a little big they were easy to swallow. They are caplets instead of capsules so they did not stick in my throat. They did not leave a bad after taste.
 I did receive these in exchange for my honest review.
