Would he, she asks, trade a tale for a packet of spice? Abu Nuwas agrees and begins the epic adventures of a girl and her genie.

Bad Spelling - Witches of Galdorheim Book 1

A klutzy witch, a shaman's curse, a quest to save her family. Can Kat find her magic in time?

If you’re a witch living on a remote arctic island, and the entire island runs on magic, lacking magical skills is not just an inconvenience, it can be a matter of life and death–or, at least, a darn good reason to run away from home.

Katrina’s spells don’t just fizzle; they backfire with spectacular results, oftentimes involving green goo. A failure as a witch, Kat decides to run away and find her dead father’s non-magical family. But before she can, she stumbles onto why her magic is out of whack: a curse from a Siberian shaman.

Book Trailer #1 = Tales of a Texas Boy

Little Eddie tells some almost true Tall Tales set in West Texas of the 1930s. Guess what's true and what Eddie fudged on. Was it about the bear? Cage McNatt's prize sow? The skunk in the cornpatch? Guaranteed for a chuckle and maybe a tear here and there.

Goodreads Giveaway! Restless in Peaceville (RIP)

Now available in print!

Blurb:

Welcome to Peaceville, population 2067 and rising...from the grave...

Luke Chester has had enough. He’s the school geek, the girls laugh at him, he’s lost his dead-end job at the pizza place, and in the midst of the world’s messiest divorce his parents don’t even know he exists. An overdose of his mom’s tranquilizers and a stomach full of whiskey should solve all his problems...

But they don’t. Instead, Luke finds himself booted out of the afterlife for not dying a natural death, with nowhere to go but back to his recently vacated corpse and reality. How the hell is he going to pass for one of the living without someone trying to blow his brains out for being one of the undead?

And it just gets worse. He’s got to fight his own desperate craving to consume the living, evade the weird supernatural hunter who’s having a field day with the new undeads rising, and there’s this creepy black shadow following him around. Add to that the distraction of female fellow undead Annabelle burning to avenge her own murder, and clearly there’s no rest for the wicked. Jeez, all he wanted to do was R.I.P.

Excerpt:

A creak is all the warning I'm given before the floor gives way and I plummet through the rotten woodwork like a kingfisher diving through the water. I can't see a thing for dust and chunks of wood, but I know I've gone through the ground floor of the house when I break through a second layer of wood and hit earth. Damn, how long will this body hold up if I keep crashing like this?
I lever myself up, and find my head just above ground floor level while more dust and splinters shower down around me. I turn, looking for some way to pull myself back up...and find myself being stared at by three kids.
Oh, shit. For a moment we all just gaze at each other, no one sure what to do or who's going to do it first. Then one of the boys, maybe eight or nine and his mouth hanging open points at me and screams, "Zombie!"
What else can I do? I yank myself out of the hole and lurch at him, moaning fit to scare them to death. They don't hesitate. Each of them competing for the most piercing holler, they scarper out of the house so fast I expect to see scorch marks from the acceleration.
I laugh. Seriously, it's the funniest thing I've seen since I died. Maybe I could get to enjoy this.

Tales of a Texas Boy

Kindle Ebook at Amazon

How do you handle a crazy jackass? Eddie knows. If you ask Eddie, he'll tell you pigs can fly and show you where to find real mammoth bones. Take his word for it when he tells you always to bet on the bear. These are things he learned while dreaming of becoming a cowboy in West Texas during the Depression. Through Eddie, the hero of "Tales of a Texas Boy," we find that growing up is less about maturity and more about roping your dreams. Hold on tight. It's a bumpy ride. A wonderful read for anyone who enjoys books like "Little House on the Prairie" or "Tom Sawyer." A great bit of nostalgia for seniors, too.

Missing, Assumed Dead

Kindle Ebook at Amazon 

Prejudice, murder, insanity, suicide: Every small town has its secrets.

When Kameron McBride receives notice she's the only living relative of a missing man she's never even heard of, the last thing she wants to do is head to some half-baked Oregon town to settle his affairs. Her suspicions rise when the probate Judge isn't really a judge and tries too hard to buy the dead man's worthless property. Kam probes deeper into the town's secrets and finds almost no one she can trust. She must find out what really happened to her dead relative before someone in this backward little town sends her to join him.

And she thought Oregon was going to be boring.

More Favs of 2014: Perilous Case of the Zombie Potion

I listed some of my favorite reads from 2014. I've realized I didn't list every book I thought was far better than the average. So, what the heck, I'll post a few more while nothing else is going on (except that Valentine Day Sale for two of my books at Smashwords).

Today's share is by Penny Noyce who publishes educational (and fun) kids' books through Tumblehome Learning. You can only get Tumblehome books in paperback format. The books are illustrated, so really work better in print format. I hope Tumblehome will start publishing in ebook format soon. Penny's books in the "Lost in Lexicon" series are available in ebook format. Just check Amazon.

The Perilous Case of the Zombie Potion by Pendred (Penny) Noyce
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Not just another zombie story, this book is one of the G.A.S. (Galactic Academy of Science) collection published by Tumblehome Learning. It offers an entertaining tale and sneaks in real science under the guise of a time-traveling series. Nicely illustrated, it makes learning not only palatable but down-right fun.

Clinton and Sam are put together at summer camp. Clinton thinks Sam is a little too fearful, but comes to understand that a kid with diabetes is restricted: he can't go swimming or do lots of things the other kids can do. Result: Sam is bullied unfairly.

Clinton, however, happens to be a time traveling kid recruited by the mysterious G.A.S. organization to go back in time to learn and then use the knowledge he attains to good use in the present.

He's surprised when he overhears Sam speaking to someone who appears to be from the future and part of G.A.S. Soon Clinton finds that Sam is being used by another time-traveling agency: S.A.G. This isn't the benevolent agency Clinton knows.

Joined by Mae, another G.A.S. agent, the three kids travel back in time to discover what zombies are all about. They jump from one time frame to another learning as they go. What will be their conclusion? Are zombies real or just fantasy? Their first time stop is China for the investigation of an accidental death or was it a murder?

Kids will enjoy discovering the historical roots of zombies while Clinton and Mae help save Sam's mother from the death threatened by the evil S.A.G. organization.

Any more information would be as spoiled as a zombie staggering along searching for brains to eat.

This is a fun book that all kids will enjoy. The illustrations are great, the storyline interesting. What more could a curious kid want?
