AIWOTOWOW LED Bug Zapper Mosquito Killer lamp indoor outdoor




Really nice bug zapper lamp. We live in Florida and there are tons of flying bugs, and a lot of them actually bite. Having a bug light is pretty much a have to have item. We have lots of family get togethers and my house and the bugs can really put a damper on our fun. This light helps by pulling the bugs to it and killing them. I like the lamp sets on a table or your could hook  wire or string to the outer cage to hang the light. It has wires wrapped around it that will shock, so even though it is a tight cage I would not let it be around small children without supervision. This lamp also has a feature to allow you to change the bulb in it. So could be used for years to come.

I received this free but am not required to write a review, but  I decided I should let people know about my experience with it.

Virtual Book Tour: The Devil's Flood by Pear R. Meaker






THE DEVIL'S FLOOD
by Pearl R. Meaker

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

GENRE: Cozy Mystery

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

BLURB:

Can a house vanish without a trace? What is the "super booze" that's available at clandestine drinking parties in Golden County? When mummified bodies show up at an archeological dig and a young man gets shot in a duel at a party, can Emory and Madison find the answers in the midst of a flood year?

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















Excerpt Two:

“Okay.” Kate said, pulling her phone out of a pocket as Jairus and the crew gathered around me where I stood watching the rescue team go in after my husband. “Here’s a shot of Dr. Crawford.” She held the phone in front of me. “He’s still conscious and managed a little wave, but I’m glad the rescue team is heading in.”

I glanced at the photo. Jebbin lay in a pool of light on what looked like a pile of bedding heaped on a rough wooden floor. His glasses had fallen off. He never looks quite right without them, and
I could tell he was hurting. Probably feeling a bit nauseous as well. In spite of it all he wore a wan grin and had lifted a hand in greeting.

Kate swiped the screen.

In the sharp glare of her phone’s flash a mummified man sat on the floor, his back against a wall. There was a dark stain spilling down his chest from a hole near where his heart would be.

“There’s one part of the company Dr. Crawford mentioned he had.”

She swiped again. “Here’s the other.”

This mummy lay on its back. The flash showed a stain that flowed from his chest and down his side to form a hardened puddle on the floor.

“Which one’s my Grandpa?” Melva gasped.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:




Slightly quirky, always creative, Pearl R. Meaker has been an artist, singer and craftsperson her whole life. Although she's always had stories in her head, they didn't come out to play with others until the advent of home computers with their ease of making corrections and moving bits around.

After several years of writing fanfiction in the world of Tolkien's Middle-Earth, she took a couple of writing courses and dove into writing original works of fiction, and The Emory Crawford Mysteries were born.


When not playing with story ideas you can find Pearl playing with yarn either knitting or crocheting, doing other arts and crafts, bird watching and photographing nature, playing bluegrass fiddle (her husband plays banjo) or relaxing with her hubby on the sofa watching mystery shows on Netflix.
Oh - and reading all sorts of books, but especially cozy and other types of mysteries!


The books in The Emory Crawford Mysteries Series are reminiscent of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple mysteries, which is why Pearl has chosen to characterize her stories as "murder genteel."

Interview with Pear R. Meaker

Where do you get inspiration for your stories?

All sorts of places. My first two books, The Devil’s Music and The Devil’s Hook, we’re both inspired by a song – “Didn’t Leave Nobody But The Baby” from “Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?” The movie version is eerie, with a musical saw playing in the background.

My new book, The Devil’s Flood was inspired by my husband suggesting I write a story that involved a flood in the spring of 2015 because we were having a flood year that year.

How did you do research for your book?

I talked to local people about flood years that they remembered. I went to the library and found out about the history of flooding in this area, about the watershed in the surrounding part of the state and how that related to the creeks in our area.

One man told me how the house he grew up in and all their farm buildings had been where the lake west of our town is now. The land was sold for gravel quarrying. The idea of a house having been somewhere where there was now a lake became part of the story too.

Do you have another profession besides writing?

I’m a homemaker, which should be considered a career even though you don’t get paid for it. It’s a full time job.

If you could go back in time, where would you go?

My own childhood. I had a fairly pleasant one and the freedom of being a child is something that would be nice to revisit.

What is your next project?

My fourth book isn’t titled yet but is set at a music festival and involves a southern style rock band that’s led by Emory’s older brother. I’m going to be getting busy on it when all the business of The Devil’s Flood’s launch is over.

Virtual Book Blast Tour for Tartan Temptation by Kayden Claremont


Tartan Temptation
by Kayden Claremont

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

GENRE: Paranormal Erotic Romance

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

BLURB:


Financial planner Cora Siegfried has returned to her hometown to settle her late father’s estate. Get in, get out, that’s the plan. When she’s almost run over by a kilt-wearing hottie on a motorcycle, all her well-laid plans go up in smoke, and all she can think about is getting well laid by her childhood crush. But after what she hoped would be a one-night stand, leaving him might not be as easy. Talk about a tartan temptation.


With his throne on the line, Brodie Murdock needs to secure his kingdom by taking a bride. When the only woman he’s ever wanted steps right into his path, he knows the legends are true. She is his destiny. The feisty female isn’t hard to seduce into his bed for the night, but she’s proving difficult to convince they are meant for forever. And then there’s the secret that could destroy any chance of their future—a secret he’s not ready to confess. Not until his stubborn soul mate admits she needs him for more than sex.

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

Excerpt One:

He couldn’t believe his ears. Her dream as a child was to be a mermaid princess. If she only knew that he could make her dream come true.

She pulled away from him. “You don’t understand what I’m talking about, do you?”

He needed to grasp what the mermaid meant to her. Was it just to be different from the other girls, or did she really want a life as a mermaid? “Why don’t you tell me what it means to you?”

The story goes, a mermaid sees a prince on a ship and falls in love with him. The problem is he’s human. They can never be together. Then the wicked sea witch offers to make her human if she gives up her voice. She decides he’s worth the sacrifice. She becomes a mute human with legs, and they live happily ever after.”

That’s quite a story.” He needed her to tell him more. “Do you believe in happily ever after?”

That’s fiction.” The mermaid on her shoulder appeared to judge him.

Is it?”

Isn’t it?”

Brodie touched the mermaid on her shoulder. “Well, I believe in happily ever after, and I think you do, too.”

She brushed his hand from her shoulder, as if it were an annoying fly. “That’s for romantics. I live in the real world.”

He bent and kissed her shoulder. “How about we compromise on happily for now?”

Book Title: Kon (Trassato Crime Family, #2) 
Author: Lisa Cardiff 
Genre: Organized Crime/Romance

book blurb

Once upon a time, I was the woman you envied. 

I had it all. A wonderful family. The perfect fiancé who also happened to be my best friend. Money and resources. The power and influence that came with sharing the Trassato name.

One night my fairytale became a nightmare, and I’ve been living in Hell ever since.

A rival family killed my fiancé. My father succumbed to cancer. In the middle of it all, I bargained away my future to Konstantin Trincher, a member of the Russian mafia. It seemed like the perfect solution at the time—my brother’s girlfriend in exchange for me.

Only things weren’t that simple.

I promised myself to Konstantin and my family promised me to Nico DeAngelo, the underboss of the Trassato Crime Family.

Konstantin and I form an alliance to unravel our bargain. The only problem? We didn’t expect to fall for each other in the process.

Now I’m forced to choose between love and loyalty.

One choice will break my heart and the other will break my family.

excerpt

He pulled a money clip from his pocket and plopped a wad of hundreds on the table in front of me. For a beat, I stared, unmoving. His tattooed hand captivated me, so large, and strong. I couldn’t look away from the tiny stars, crosses, and swirling designs.

I opened my mouth to object, except I didn’t have the chance. His head dipped closer, and his lips were on mine. I stopped breathing for a fraction of a second, and I fully intended to break contact, only I didn’t. The increasingly familiar pull between us dragged me under like quicksand.

One graze, and I startled, electricity crackling through my nerve endings. A quick nip of his teeth, and he stole my breath. Seconds. Minutes. Hours. I didn’t know how much time passed with his mouth lingering against mine, his exhalations becoming my inhalations. My head buzzed and my lips tingled, but worst of all, he tasted good—full and smoky, like whiskey and sin, except a thousand times more lethal. One of my hands cupped the side of his face, silently willing him not to stop. His stubble felt like sandpaper beneath my fingers.

After months, maybe years, of feeling nothing, I felt a spark of something and my heart softened a little toward him.

Fuck.

“Good luck, solnyshka,” he whispered as he broke away, his voice rough and low. It vibrated through me from the top of my head all the way to the soles of my heel-clad feet, rippling into the floor, and I felt unsteady for a beat like my entire world had shifted without my permission.

Publication date: November 4th 2016
Genres: New Adult, Romance, Suspense

He doesn’t have to keep me tied up, but I hope he does…

Eliana

My father kept me locked away from the world, my only purpose in life was to stand in the background while he campaigned for President, or to be sold like a slave to cement his old alliances as a Mafia hitman. All I’ve ever known was his contempt and my loneliness.

Then my deepest darkest fantasy kicked my door down and dragged me off into the night.

He’s the first person I ever met who wasn’t afraid of my father. He’s a machine of war, and he’s making me so… damnhot.

Eric

The contract is simple: abduct the daughter of Jace Barlow’s nemesis and deliver her safely.

I’m a professional. She’s off limits… but this chick is the hottest kind of crazy. I never met a woman who could take everything I had to give and beg for more, and now I’m dangerously close to addicted.

I need to concentrate on keeping us alive before her father’s goons, the Feds, the cops or the biker gang catch up with us, but the way she licks my gun has me thinking maybe nothing else matters if I can’t have her wrapped around me forever.

Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble

EXCERPT:

I wrapped the towel around myself, then undid it and wrapped it around me again, a little lower, tucking the corner in to keep it tight. It was no push-up bra, but the effect was the same.

Eric had cleared the remains of our meal away and a beam of early morning sunlight had fallen across the covers while I showered. Eric had set up a blanket and a pillow on the couch, where he was reclining with his hands behind his head while he waited for me, still wearing only his boxers. He paused halfway through standing up as he took in the sight of me wearing nothing but a towel that was barely big enough to come down to my thighs.

“Where’s your clothes?”

“They’re dirty.”

He crossed the room slowly in my direction, his every muscle-bound movement was poetry in motion. My knees felt weak.

Even after the shower, I could feel the heat of him when he stood close. A drop of water escaped my hair and I felt it cutting a path down my chest, and over the upper swell of my breast. Looking up into his eyes, I could see him following that path and I smiled at the hint that he was every bit as transfixed by my softer curves as I was by his firm ones. I could feel myself being pulled to him, as if the cells of my body might detach and start flowing across the short distance between us if one of us didn’t do something about this unacceptable lack of physical contact.

“Why don’t you kiss me?” I asked.

His lips parted, then he licked them before he spoke without conviction. “That’s… not my job. You should get dressed.”

“What is your job?”

“I’m going to deliver you to my employer,” he said.

“Alive?”

“If I can.”

“Well… did he say you weren’t allowed to have any… fun along the way?”

My heart was back in my throat, my breath shaking again. It felt like it was beating so hard that my breasts were wobbling with every beat. Could he see how excited he was making me? Would he give me what I needed while we had this gift of time together?

“You don’t know what you’re asking…”

Cover Reveal: The Lost Girl by Candy Atkins


The Lost Girl
Candy Atkins
(The Lost Knight, #2)
Publication date: November 20th 2016
Genres: Fantasy, Young Adult

If Stratagor Ziras doesn’t kill me, my training program will!

Every day I wake up and go through the motions, but they’ve figured out that I’m not a Knight. I can’t ride, I can’t fight, I can’t do magic, and worst of all, I can’t see whatever it is I’m supposed to see in this stupid Orb.

Nothing is what it seems here. Everyone says they want what’s best for me, but who can I trust? The lying snake? The feathery crocodile trying to lock me away? The Queen who wants me dead? Or the devil himself?

I don’t know what I’m more afraid of—the enemies that have made several attempts on my life, or my allies now that they know they’ve made a huge a mistake.

I thought I put my past behind me.


I lost everything when I testified against my boyfriend for the murders of five women. After the jury delivered a life sentence, I ran. I hoped if I could disappear, maybe the horror he caused would, too.


When I return to Florida for the first time after his conviction, I’m determined to face my fears and get my life back. Then, a woman is murdered and I’m the only one who believes her death features the same signature as those I’m trying so hard to forget.


Instinct tells me to run again, but local cop Logan Blackwell has never let a suspect–or a woman–get away. He’s made it his own personal mission to solve the case and he needs my help to do it.


I have no choice once we learn I’m the next target, but I’m not interested in getting close to another man, especially not a sexy former Marine who has secrets of his own.


This is a FULL-LENGTH, STANDALONE, with NO CLIFFHANGER.

I thought it was just one night with my brother’s best friend.


The boy I had dreamt about since he gave me my first kiss, under the lights of the Ferris wheel.


I knew he was about to leave for a year – no chance for a future.


But our one night together would create memories for a lifetime.


Our paths crossed again, but I had lied, and he was no longer the man he once was. He was warring against demons. Against the silence that was threatening to swallow him. And I had kept a secret from him, one he would never forgive me for.


But my secret was about to be ripped open. Displayed for the world on national news. And I had only one way to repair the damage.


I had to trust the man I lied to.


The man I never got the chance to make a life with.


The only man who could save what we had created together.


This is a FULL LENGTH, STANDALONE with a HEA and NO CLIFFHANGER.

I knew falling in love with him was bad for us both, but I did it anyway.


For a brief moment, we had it all. Even though he was leaving to join the Marines and I had four years of college ahead of me, he was everything I ever wanted, but didn’t think I deserved.


But real life has a way of dashing dreams—and that happy future we envisioned together? It disappeared at the hands of a monster.


Ten years have passed, and I’m not the same naïve girl who believed in happily-ever-afters. When my mother passes away and I find myself caring for my two teenage brothers, the last thing on my mind should be reconnecting with the hottie-turned-hero who I loved at seventeen.


If I want a second chance at his heart, I’ll have to trust him with the secrets that tore us apart.


This is a FULL-LENGTH, STANDALONE, with NO CLIFFHANGER.


Please note there is a graphic scene that may be a trigger for some.
