Don’t Mess with Mrs. Sedgewick

Don’t Mess with Mrs. Sedgewick by Marie F Martin

Roberta Sedgewick is stuck in a house that is too empty without her beloved Burton—the rat died and left her with his dog and rooms that rattle. She convinces her three golfing buddies, all in their seventies, to sell their homes and buy adjoining condos. The widows intend to spend the rest of their days golfing, gambling at the casino, and having fun. Oh, the heaven of it. But then they all hire the same maid who uncovers long-hidden criminal secrets kept by each woman. Oh, the horror of it. The reputations of their deceased husbands, a banker, a minister, and a respected farmer, will be tarnished forever. Three of the widows could face jail time, and the fourth fears for her life. Whatever will they do with the conniving, blackmailing maid? Don’t Mess With Mrs. Sedgewick is a caper story. Elderly ladies with crimes in their youth catch far worse criminals in the present.
If you grew to love the characters in Marie F. Martin’s previous novels Maternal Harbor, Harbored Secrets, and Ratham Creek, you will treasure Roberta and her friends in the mystery Don’t Mess With Mrs. Sedgewick.

Northern Wolf (Northern Wolf Series Book 1) by Daniel Greene

A broken man will be forged in the flames of war…

It is late 1862, and the United States has been ripped apart by civil war for over a year with no end in sight. The war is a distant thought to Johannes Wolf, a young German immigrant with a crippled leg keeping him off the muster lists.

Desperately dredging the gutters for recruits, Wolf cons his way into the depleted, demoralized, and poorly run Union army, and is promptly placed in the undesirable F Company of the 13th Michigan Cavalry.

Wolf’s company find themselves riding with Custer and the Michigan Brigade on a collision course with master horseman J.E.B. Stuart and the Army of Northern Virginia in a small town in Pennsylvania, called Gettysburg.

Will they stand tall against the knights of the South and prove themselves worthy? Or will they fall beneath screaming bullets and sweeping blades, becoming more bloody fodder for a lost cause?

Northern Wolf is a thrilling, historical page-turner packed with detailed passages of battle, the horrors of war, and the struggle to discover oneself. Fans of Bernard Cornwell, Jeff Shaara, Simon Scarrow, and Steven Pressfield will be captivated by this powerful new series. Start the adventure today!

Naked at the Knife-Edge: What Everest Taught Me About Leadership and the Power of Vulnerability

About Naked at the Knife-Edge: What Everest Taught Me About Leadership and the Power of Vulnerability:

Only a relatively small group of individuals have climbed the highest peak on all seven continents of the planet. Known as the Seven Summits, it is a feat that typically takes years and an enormous amount of planning, training, and effort, in some of the most inaccessible places on earth. But Vivian James Rigney was determined to do just that.

Naked at the Knife-Edge: What Everest Taught Me About Leadership and the Power of Vulnerability (Forefront Books, March 8, 2022) is a compelling and often harrowing true account of Rigney’s experience conquering Everest—the seventh and final peak of the Seven Summits he’d faced—offering a unique window into lessons on leadership and what it takes to succeed in any circumstance.

In Naked at the Knife-Edge, Rigney, an executive coach and globally recognized authority on leadership and teamwork in business as President and CEO of Inside Us LLC, reveals how he relied on skills learned in the corporate world in addition to physical training to attempt these summits. And the journey to Everest almost broke him. After enduring avalanches, sub-zero temperatures, and tragedy unfolding around him and his team, the roller coaster of pain, self-reflection, questioning, and above all, loneliness, left Rigney with an ego in tatters. It was then that he discovered an awakening of what real purpose and legacy actually is.

Rigney uniquely combines the hands-on and reflective approach of one of today’s most respected executive coaches with adventure and a raw and revealing personal story. Using Everest as a metaphor in recognizing the power and downsides of drive, ambition, and relentless pursuit of goals at the cost of being human, this powerful and inspiring journey reveals critical wisdom for individuals and leaders in any circumstance.

Frankie Scarmazino, top kicker in the NFL and breaker of hearts, decides to spice up his life moonlighting as a PI.

His first case: after taking a major hit in a New York Giant’s game, he nurses his wounds and heads to Jasper, Arkansas, to investigate the death of a fellow player’s brother. On arrival, he endures a different kind of hit. He’s devastated by a stunningly beautiful lawyer who draws him into her battle against vicious wife-abusers and a serial killer.

Wild Irish Heart by Tricia O’Malley

Wild Irish Heart by Tricia O'Malley

From New York Times bestselling author comes a mystical romance set on Ireland’s rocky shore.

80% Discount for a limited time – Buy now for only 0.99c or read with your Kindle Unlimited subscription.

When grad student Keelin O’Brien travels to a small village to meet her grandmother, she discovers her own strange powers — and Flynn, the man who haunts her heart.

Chapter 1

The ping of the doorbell startled Keelin O’Brien from her daydream of chartering a dive boat through the Great Barrier Reef. Blinking, she shoved herself up from her messy desk and padded quietly in her Irish cottage socks to the door. Peering through the hole, she saw Frank, her overly friendly mailman.
“Hi, Frank,” Keelin said as she eased the door open, careful to hide her clutter from his view.
“Hi, Keelin. I’ve got a special package for you today,” Frank said. “International!”
“Really? I haven’t ordered anything. How interesting.” Keelin signed for the package and Frank raised his eyebrows at her. It was clear he expected her to open the package in front of him.
“Thanks, Frank. Gotta run!” Keelin shut the door with her foot and examined the small package as she wandered toward her kitchen. The cheerful blue of her kitchen walls contrasted with the pile of dishes in her sink. A small window with soft yellow curtains allowed a ray of sunlight to pick up the layer of dust on her sideboard. With a sigh, Keelin made a mental note to clean.
Brushing a pile of papers aside, Keelin sat at her table and looked at the package. Rectangular-shaped and wrapped in butcher paper, it wasn’t the typical international envelope found at the post office. Twine wove around the package and what looked like an honest-to-God wax seal closed the twine. Keelin’s name and address were written in a deep brown ink, the handwriting a beautiful old calligraphy style. Keelin squinted at the return address and remembered her glasses tucked in her shirt.
Interesting, Keelin thought as she examined the address more closely. The address was smudged. It seemed almost deliberate. Keelin wondered why she suspected that it was deliberate. Only one word was easily readable: Ireland.

The Secret Life of Charlotte Dodd by Holly Kerr

The Secret Life of Charlotte Dodd by Holly Kerr

Ham loves Charlotte. Charlotte can’t remember Ham. Together they have to save the world.

“Comedy, lady-spy series with lots of tough girl, kick backside action with romance thrown in.” – Amazon review

Charlotte Dodd has a boringly average life full of temp jobs and takeout, with solo movies taking up most of her weekends. Her boyfriend isn’t much of anything, since he’d rather hang with friends than talk about the odd dreams full of spy movie snippets that keep Charlotte up at night. So when she wakes up on a private plane and handcuffed to the seat, she’s more interested in taking in the surroundings than what they want with her.

Especially the super handsome guy in the great suit who looks strangely familiar to Charlotte. But she’d remember him if they met before…wouldn’t she?

And then he tells her she’s a spy.

Not just any spy, but she’s the best agent of a covert Canadian spy organization.

Charlotte’s humdrum life is flipped upside down as she’s yanked into a world of secret agents that she has no memory of. Now she has to remember enough to save the love of her life.

Because, apparently, that’s what she does.

The Secret Life of Charlotte Dodd is the first book in the action-packed chick-lit Charlotte Dodd series, full of girl power, a family of spies, and saving the world from your ex-boyfriend.

Sail the World?

About Sail the World?:

Have you wondered how it’d be like to dump the rat race to sail around the world?
Here’s how that worked out for the author, a gripping, constantly on-the-edge-of-disaster sailing adventure punctuated by the unique and wacky characters from the worldwide cruising community, all with the same wild and crazy dream.
“My 35-foot Erickson sloop Grendel was sinking in the Pacific Ocean. I’d bragged about sailing around the world, but two hours after I began, it was a disaster. I was slip-sliding around Grendel, searching for leaks, enveloped in an eerie blanket of fog with zero visibility, surrounded by invisible hazards. Glub, glub.”

So, it didn’t go exactly as planned, a reality like nothing you could envision, a comedy of errors on land and at sea. An absurdly true story and prequel to RV the World.
