Abbicen USB Wall Charger 3 Pack Dual Port



With so many devices now days using USB charge cords I personally believe you can never have to many many wall adapters laying around. I have our phones, our tablets, my pencil sharpener, some lights, and more that all work off of USB cables. The single port chargers are fine but with multiple devices it takes so many wall plug ins and my house is sadly lacking when it comes to plug ins.

This set of wall chargers from Abbicen has 2 USB ports in each of the 3 adapters.
These do not come with any charging wires but I have several wires laying around and most devices come with their own charge cables.  These wall chargers will charge any device that uses a USB type cord. These are iSmart Technology 2.1A USB Wall Adapters. So they charge faster then the regular 1.0 chargers. These adapters also have Multiprotect Charging Technology installed, so they protect your devices from over charging and overheating.

So far I have been very happy with these chargers. My devices charge quickly. I have more wall plug ins for other things like lamps. And if company shows up I have extra chargers if they need to charge their devices.

Check these out on Amazon

My Review:
Let me just say this book was no where near what I thought it was going to be. It was more Sci-Fi to me and I am not a huge fan of Sci-fi. There are also several stories going on at once in this book. The book was a bit confusing to me I have to admit, It was like it started in the middle of the story, you just have to keep reading to kind of figure out what and where the story is happening. The first several chapters kind of left me lost. 

 The main story in the book is about Mellis. She and her dog are kidnapped from our earth and taken to "NeverLand" actually its The Space in Between. The space in Between is a land in between Heaven and Hell.  Here she meets some of the strangest looking people ever. they are called the Penitents. Everyone in the Space in Between is deformed in some way. Her maid has one hazel eye in the middle of her forehead, one of the men who kidnapped her has lobsterish claws for hands, the Ruler of the Penitents has an extra set of small legs coming out of his hip, things like that. The Penitent have chosen these deformities as a pittance for a wrong their ancestors have done. It is up to Mellis to redeem the people and redeem themselves with their maker. But she must give up her life and family on Earth. 
The story is interesting, even with being a bit confusing. There are some really graphic and gross parts in the book. There wasn't strong language or sex but think Michael Myers and other stories like that when it comes to gore. The characters are vivid and well defined. The writing is done very well, and it is a griping tale.

This Hallucinatory Life
At the risk of sounding certifiable, I want to share a secret. Sometimes I see things that aren’t there. I rarely mention this; I haven’t wanted to seem weird. But lately I’ve reconsidered. So what if I seem weird? Weird’s almost a job requirement for writers.
It began when I was 4 or 5, tucked into my parents’ bed with a high fever. (I used to get those often as a child. Coincidence?) My mother was there, looking glamorous for an evening out, and conversing with my father, who wasn’t visible from the bed. Neither was she. Despite the vision’s clarity, none of it was real. They found me sitting up in bed and chattering animatedly to an empty room.
Now that I’m older, the hallucinations often occur upon waking in the morning, as part of something called a “hypnopompic state.” They’re always accompanied by paralysis. Hairy black spiders the size of dinner plates scuttling down the bedroom walls are a favorite. Or a child-sized figure wearing a red hooded coat and holding an upraised knife (after watching Nicolas Roeg’s Don’t Look Now). My inability to move so much as a finger adds to the thrill. (Once the spiders or the pint-size killers disappear, so does the paralysis.)
During the transition from wakefulness to sleep, there’s the “hypnagogic state,” which brings on visions without paralysis (even more entertaining!). Within a few minutes of falling asleep, my eyes fly open and I’ll hallucinate a shape in the darkness by the bed, often an inanimate object. An oversize screen door falling across me, for instance, or a pair of 7 foot tall Chinese porcelain lions. Sometimes it’s a man. I’ll see him so clearly (including the colors and patterns of his clothing—extraordinary in an unlit bedroom at night) that I could give a precise description to the police. Whatever it is, it’s always threatening. I’ll scramble backwards across the mattress while shrieking, and after 15-20 seconds, the vision fades away. Oddly enough, once I stop screaming it’s easy to go back to sleep.
The rarest kind is the wide-awake, broad daylight hallucination. A few years ago I was rear-ended. A minor accident, but it shook me up. While exchanging my car for a loaner at the body shop, I got a call from the other driver’s insurance rep, wanting the loaner’s make and model. I read out to her what I saw on the back of the vehicle. “It’s a Toyota Titan pickup truck.”
I can hear someone saying, “Toyota doesn’t make the Titan pickup!”
No. Nissan does. But I didn’t know that then.
That’s not the worst part. Back home, I parked the truck and got out, glancing at the emblem in the grill as I passed. It wasn’t a Toyota. (Or a Nissan.) In disbelief, I walked around to the rear to be certain.  
It was a Ford F-150.

C’mon, brain. Really?

Her Final Watch by Marguerite Ashton Blog Tour





Title:
HER FINAL WATCH

Author: Marguerite Ashton

Publisher: Endeavour Press

Pages: 296

Genre: Crime





Speaking
second-hand truths can be deadly …



Detective Lily Blanchette will stop at nothing to solve a murder. Her current
case involves the killing of an undercover cop working to bring down the mob
for prostitution and drugs.



But Lily's usual laser-like focus on the case has been disrupted.



Two weeks earlier, she learned she was pregnant by her murderous husband whom
she'd killed in self-defense. Unsure whether to keep her baby or place the
child of this cruel man up for adoption, Lily keeps the pregnancy a secret from
her colleagues.



Under mounting pressure to solve the case, Lily arranges a sit-down with a
local mob boss only to find out her suspect is also wanted by them. But before
Lily can warn her team, she and her new partner, Jeremiah, are shot at, and
another body is found.



When she discovers Jeremiah has a connection with the underworld, she is pulled
into a conflict that swirls around the boss's son who's hell-bent on revenge.



To add to the complexity of the situation, Lily learns that her victim might
still be alive if it wasn't for opportunistic Assistant District Attorney, Ibee
Walters, who has a twisted vision of justice.



As Lily gets closer to finding the killer, she unravels ugly secrets that point
to Ibee and Jeremiah - placing Lily's life and her unborn child in danger.

After gathering evidence and recording all the data she had,
it would be hard to detach. Towards the end, she’d learned things she wished
weren’t true, leaving her stomach in tattered knots.

Back at home, there were two reasons Ariel would never take
on another undercover assignment.

Ariel ground her teeth as the door to Cabin D opened and
closed. She could feel Mikey Surace, the mob boss’s son, staring at the
backless white dress she wore at his request.

The man who smiled at the sight of blood was standing behind
her, breathing heavily.

investigators to create; Criminal Lines Blog, an online library for crime
writers who need help with their book research.



She’s a workaholic who hides in her writer’s attic,
plotting out her next book and stalking Pinterest for the next avocado
recipe.

Christmas in The Sisters The Sisters, Texas Mystery Series Book 6 by Becki Willis


Christmas
in The Sisters
The
Sisters, Texas Mystery Series Book 6
by
Becki Willis
Genre:
Cozy Mystery

Latest
book in the Award-Winning The Sisters, Texas Mystery Series! 
Madison
Reynolds can’t wait for Christmas this year. Rebuilding her life as
a single mom hasn’t been easy, but after a challenging twelve
months, she’s excited about the holidays. She and her twins have
settled quite nicely here in The Sisters, renovations on the house
are complete, her business is slowly growing, and, best of all, Chief
of Police Brash deCordova is in her life. Visions of the perfect
Christmas dance in her head. 
The
tinsel begins to tangle when someone targets the community for a
series of ‘Christmas Crimes.’ Homes are broken into and wrapped
gifts are stolen from beneath trees. Even vehicles loaded with
presents aren’t safe, particularly on a lone stretch of highway.
Things like this just don’t happen in Naomi and Juliet. Torn
between solving the rash of burglaries and shutting down the gambling
ring that’s active in the area again, Brash does the only thing he
can: he hires In a Pinch to help with the investigation.
Finding
the common link between cases is like finding the bad bulb on a
string of lights. Every lead is a short circuit. The frustration
mounts when Madison and the Angel Tree she’s involved with fall
victim to the crimes. Only the worst kind of Grinch steals from needy
children! 
Brash
has plans of his own for the perfect Christmas. With the help of a
new jewelry store, he thinks he’s found just the right gift for
Madison, until the Grinch strikes again. This wasn’t the surprise
he had in mind. 


Ready or not, Christmas is on its way, and
time is running out to create the holiday of their dreams. As the
house fills with unexpected guests, Madison and the twins honor
favorite traditions from the past while creating a few new ones of
their own. 



Who
has time for being kidnapped by men in Santa suits and bad
beards?

will ever forget!

Book Blast for The Unseducible Earl by Sheri Humphreys



The Unseducible Earl
by Sheri Humphreys

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

GENRE: Historical Romance

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

BLURB:

When an earl who’s given up on love and has settled on an engagement to a darling of society falls for a Crimean War nurse, he must either forsake his love or embroil them all in scandal.

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

Excerpt Two:

For a moment, she froze in the doorway. The earl stood at the sideboard dishing up his breakfast. He couldn’t have had any more than a few hours sleep, but he looked as though he felt much more rested than she did.

The country gentleman’s garb he wore this morning suited him. With his mahogany hair combed and his jaw clean-shaven, he seemed younger. Was it possible his posture grew even straighter when she entered?

He greeted her and offered a plate. “You’ve plenty of time before you’ll need to leave for the train. I believe your trunk is being packed now?”

The way he spoke, he might have been assuring a guest he regarded fondly. She almost gave a rueful laugh, but accepted the china and turned to the sideboard, very aware of his tall frame beside her.

She forced her attention to the perfectly prepared selections of food. She wasn’t particularly hungry and took a small portion of egg. After adding a slice of fried bread and asking the footman for coffee, she settled at the table. “I saw Captain Merrick before coming down. There was no one packing when I left my room.”

His plate loaded with what appeared to be a bit of everything, Cheriton sat at the end of the table, in juxtaposition to her. He frowned. “You’ve seen Jamie this morning?”

“Yes, I have.” In unison they picked up their coffee and took long sips. Victoria held the warm bowl of the cup with her fingertips, enjoying the spreading warmth.

She’d probably never see Cheriton again, and she preferred to think of him as a devoted, if injudicious, brother. Failing that, remembering him as an attractive aristocrat would be acceptable. Unfortunately, his ardent defense of his brother had caused her to regard him as a man of determination and steadfastness.

She’d acceded to his demand that she leave, digested her outrage and sorrow, and then been left with an estimation of him that she didn’t understand or want. For some unexplained reason, and despite their discord yesterday, he affected her in ways other men did not.

He made all her senses heighten. Her heart and lungs worked harder, her skin heated, and her body yearned to draw close. He radiated confidence and strength and something intangible that unsettled her and made her aware of his masculine and her feminine differences. His face might be too intense for some, but she found it compelling.

Wild Hearts by Vivian Wood blitz


Wild Hearts
Vivian Wood
Publication date: November 14th 2017
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

In order to find love, you must set your heart free.

All her life, Faith has lacked a true, deep connection to someone. Her parents are long buried, her friends are too busy, and all she has is her job in corporate law to make her feel grounded. Each day is like the last with no telling if there will ever be something more for her. When a distant aunt passes away and leaves Faith her land, Faith has to put her empty life on hold and travel across the country to settle the estate.

A West Coast girl used to a fast paced lifestyle, Faith is ready to be entirely unimpressed by what she finds on the Georgia coast. That is, until she meets Alex.

Strong, tall, and decidedly anti-social, Alex is everything that Faith has been dreaming of her whole life. The fact that he scowls as he shows her the wonders of her new land doesn’t bother her… not like seeing him without his shirt does, anyway.

Alex has a lot of ground to cover before he can learn to trust someone again, but Faith is a lovely temptation. Slender, raven-haired, and smart as hell, she calls to him on a primal level… if he can get over the ghosts of his past.

Distrust, uncertainty, fear of change… In order to find their way to each other, they will each have their own demons to overcome.

EXCERPT:

Alex wasn’t sure if she kissed him or if he kissed her. All he knew was that suddenly his lips were on hers, and they were softer and sweeter than he could have ever dreamed.

He felt her hands on his chest, and somehow his arms were around her waist. They fit perfectly in that deep curve right above her hips. He wasn’t sure, but he thought he felt the tip of her tongue against his. Alex let out a noise in the back of his throat.

She closed her eyes as he began to work the lotion into her back. Alex started at her shoulders and slid a finger underneath the strip of her halter top. He worked his way down, across her shoulder blades. She let out a moan as he hit a tense muscle in her lower back.

Alex paused, and a flicker of embarrassment washed over her. She expected him to stop, but instead he did it again, deeper. She moaned again, and the rest of her body started to respond.

His touch didn’t just release that tight muscle in her back. It started a fire throughout her entire body. Damn, she thought. She could drift away, let this man touch her all over like he was touching her right now.

His thumbs expertly glided across her lower back as he worked out the kinks. Faith’s breasts tightened, and she felt her nipples pebble. She sucked in her breath, head bowed, and could see her nipples as they responded to him.

Alex’s gaze dipped down to Faith’s lips, glazed with a gloss and smelling of Christmas. He wished he’d had the time, the mind-set, to enjoy those lips the first time he’d tasted them. His eyes continued downward to her breasts. From this angle, he could see straight down the button-up gingham shirt to the pink lace bra below. Her cleavage was deep and deliciously tempting, though he was disappointed he couldn’t make out her nipples. When they’d hardened in that little swimsuit, he was so turned on he could almost taste them between his lips.

He was tempted to kiss her to the point it was almost unbearable. To nibble on those lips and run a thumb across her breasts. Hell, I even know what she tastes like. But this time it would be different.

“Alex,” she started, but he couldn’t hold himself back anymore. It took less than a second to close the distance between them. His lips were on hers, exploring. Faith parted her lips farther to welcome his tongue against hers. God, she tasted sweet.

With one hand, he cupped her chin upward to him. The other pulled her close against him. His hardness slipped with ease between the heat of her soft thighs. Those little shorts really are good for something besides a tease.

Alex needed more, wanted more, and by the way Faith responded, he knew she did, too. He started to walk her backward, through the open bedroom door.
