Pineapple Gingerbread Men 99c & Archer’s chin shelf
| | | |
Wall Street Journal and USA TODAY Best-Selling author Amy Vansant has Pineapple Port’s “Santa� found dead…wearing a gingerbread man costume…with a shelf-elf stuffed in his mouth� Just another day in Pineapple Port!Sheriff Frank asks newly-minted private detective Charlotte to help him crack the case, but she has no idea those darn gingerbread men will start showing upeverywhere. What did Santa do that made them so angry? And what’s the secret in his colorful Christmas-themed bureau?
“LOL Funny! I loved this book. Charlotte gets to help Frank on a case. Let’s just say Gingerbread Men Reindeer and a whole lot of crazy. Oh I forgot the possum!! Read this book Janet Evanovich fans will love this book.� ~ Deborah Kesner 
Charlotte is forced to split her time between searching for Santa’s killer and helping Declan’s crazy ex-Stephanie stop a corrupt district attorney in exchange for a book that could help solve more crimes in the future. She never thought she’d help calculating Stephanie with anything…but as this story comes to its shocking ending, you’ll find it could be Stephanie who’s finally bitten off more cookie than she can chew�
If Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum and the Golden Girls had a baby, it would be the Pineapple Port series! Fans of Lilian Jackson Braun, Jana DeLeon and Rita Mae Brown won’t be able to get enough of this wild, funny, thrilling corner of Florida!
“Oh my, so funny. So mysterious, angsty and funny. I love these mysteries and how all the pieces fall together. Add in a sweet love story (and a serial killer) and it doesn’t get any better than this.”�~ Marsha Jeanne Thalleen
“Such a FUN Series! I have read all of the books in this series and enjoyed each story along the way. However, I have to say this has GOT to be my all-time FAVORITE! I actually did LOL! If you’re new to the series, start at book one!�~ Gayle
“Vansant’s books are pure delight from the wonderful characters to the witty dialogue to her terrific plots. Treat yourself!�~ Margie

YOUR MOMENT OF ARCHERThe original video of this is about 24 hours long� if you give Archer any sort of shelf, he will put his chin on it and probably go to sleep there, while your muscles cramp, but you can’t bear to let the muffin-head down. Sometimes the muscle cramping is better than the stinkeye he gives you for moving�

bySam Cheever Pre-Order Price $2.99Have you ever heard of a Groundhog Day curse? Yeah, I hadn’t either. Until somebody put one on a certain goth teenager, who means a lot to me. I’m determined to find the source of Wanda’s curse and fix it. But the timetable for that becomes greatly accelerated when the curse goes from inconvenient to deadly. Luckily, we only need to overcome an array of murderous sea monsters. A legendarily wicked crone. Corrupt, power-hungry witches and a cadre of deadly demons to save her.
Piece of cake, right?
Sigh� I’ve only been on the job for a couple of months, and already I need a vacation.

Your Moment of Archer
Arch isn’t a big fan of the groomer. We had to lift his butt into the van to get started. But when it was done, the groomer lowered her table and told him to hop out� and he 徱’t. ´dzܱ’t.
She had to get me to come out and even I had a hard time coaxing him out.
Think it’s because he loved it so much? Maybe he was tired?
Nah. This was a full hissy fit. Make me get groomed? Then fine. I’ll get groomed. FOREVER. How do you like that, Mommy? Huh? Huh?

bySam Cheever 99c!Psst! Can I tell you a secret? Midlife is a c-r-a-z-y ride. Not what I expected at all. But, I’m having a ton of fun in between the…you know…near death experiences and bladder-testing moments of complete terror.
Curse, curse, swear!How did midlife get so out of control? All I wanted was to make my own mark on the world. Start my own business and celebrate the end of an uninspiring marriage. Instead, I have a bat in my belfry. Not a metaphor…a REAL bat. The woods in my back yard is full of something dark from my nightmares. I’ve got a mysterious and sexy neighbor who seems to appear out of nowhere and knows more about my life than he should. And my best friends? Yeah, they’re witches.
What the..?
My life has become a carnival and I’m sitting at the OhMyGoddessNo! spot on the most heart-stopping roller coaster.
Things are getting hairier than my chin. And midlife is definitely not shaping up to be the calm and graceful phase I’d been expecting.
But, I’ve got a good grip on my granny panties and I’m taking the ride. What could possibly go wrong?

NEW RELEASE! byDianne Harman (Author)
The editor of Chic magazine, JoJo Morales, was a fashion icon. Too bad she was murdered at the meeting of the world’s leading fashionistas on Jupiter Island, Florida.
She had a lot of enemies, and they were all at the dinner Chef Dani catered at JoJo’s partner’s spectacular waterfront home. And how fitting she was poisoned using her grandmother’s antique atomizer, the very grandmother who had groomed her to rise to the top of the fashion industry.
The local police detective assigned to the case has to suddenly leave to handle another case. He asks Arthur, Dani’s catering sous-chef, to take over the case, since Arthur is the owner of a private investigation company. Cooking is his avocation, but finding murderers is his vocation.
It seems like everyone had a motive to murder JoJo, from her philandering husband, to the top fashion editors in the world. But when all of them have airtight alibis for where they were when the murder occurred, now what?
This is the 5th book in the Chef Dani Rosetti Cozy Mystery Series by a USA Today Bestselling Author.

byDianne Harman
Their vacation to a group of tropical paradise islands called Seychelles was a dream come true until the father of the bride was murdered moments before the beachside wedding!
When Kat and her friends took a vacation trip to Seychelles, they were planning on spending some time snorkeling in the Indian Ocean, enjoying the food of Seychelles, and exploring the island of Mahé.
What they weren’t planning on was becoming involved in solving the murder of the father of the bride. And nearly all of the members of the large, wealthy, Texas family, of which the victim was the patriarch, had a motive to commit murder.
When a man has an affair with a much younger woman and leaves his long-time wife and the mother of his four adult children for her, it’s bound to leave some scars. But which of the scarred people murdered the big Texas oil tycoon?
Join Kat, her friends, the police, and Harry, a three-legged dog, as they hurry to catch the suspect before the killer leaves the island!
This is the 11th book in the Midwest Cozy Mystery Series by a USA Bestselling Author.
