"All I can say about "Stilettos and Gunpowder" is buckle up for a fast paced never ending ride full of action and excitement. " Review

My name is Gemma Stone. I’m a Maricopa County Sheriff’s Deputy and not only must I deal with the sweat-soaked misery of the Arizona desert, I get to respond to a bunch of crazy 9-1-1 calls all day long. Like a parakeet up a tree, or a car accident where a tractor trailer full of fireworks is hit...

"This book is lively, entertaining and challenging all at once. I have never seen anything like it!"

The formal playfulness of Christopher Carter Sanderson's novel, THE TOO-BRIEF CHRONICLE OF JUDAH LOWE, is visually apparent at a glance. It consists of two parts, each composed of a series of short fragments. The first part, 79/79/'79, has 79 titled sections of 79 words each, and is set in 1979. ...

"I truly enjoyed Gail Koger's new book it was a fun read as all of her books are, and her characters are always crazy and fun!"

Just call me Calamity Jane, wherever I go, trouble soon follows. Which makes my job as a Maricopa County Sheriff’s Deputy a bit hazardous. From chasing down a bank robber to dealing with a cat burglar or handling Sun City’s seniors who are crazy as June bugs and h***y as hell. My personal life i...

As you may or may not know, Fred (whose voice - and coughing, and nose-blowing - you sometimes hear in the background of videos) writes books. His latest, Adrenaline Rush, is now available on paperback at Amazon - the Kindle version will be available on January 12th, but you can pre-order it now. (Links in the comments)

It's a thriller (there's no horror in this book), and while obviously you should take what I say with a huge grain of salt (I'm his wife; what else am I going to say?), I think it's really, really good. I ended up staying up until 2 am to finish it, I could NOT put it down. If fast-moving thrillers are your thing, give it a try!

PS: There are no cats in this book. 🙃

"I always love Gail Koger's books this one was no exception! I smiled through the whole book can't wait for the next one!" - Review

I’ve been a Maricopa County Sheriff’s deputy for four years. Most folks don’t have a clue about what a cop deals with every day. Like a pack of attack chihuahuas, a monkey with a bad case of diarrhea, a hungry python, a Brahma bull named Bodacious and a six-foot iguana. And t...

I got a one-way ticket out of hell. All I need to do is drive across country with a body in the trunk and run miscellaneous errands, but a lot of those errands come with a heavy price. And if I lose the body in the trunk, then I have to go back, and I'll be damned if I return down there. I will fight to stay here, even if there is no rest for those wicked. https://bit.ly/44DF5HL
