I am reading Sucking in San Franciso and will be reviewing it on October 3, 2015, so when I was browsing Jessica McBrayer’s Amazon Author Page, I happened upon this freebie and grabbed Book II of the stand alone series.

Hell Hounds Are For Suckers (Vampires of San Francisco, #2)

I have read some great books by Ella Medler and happened upon this freebie. Sorry, but it is no longer free. It goes for 99 cents and with Ella’s writing I think that’s a steal.

I love auto racing, especially Nascar. My favorite driver is Jeff Gordon and I don’t know what I will do after he retires. I’m thinking of choosing bad boy, Kyle Bush to follow.

Skid (Skid, #1)

Picked this up because of the wicked cover.

Ascendancy Rise of the Fallen (Ascendancy Origins Book 1)

Another awesome cover. Plus it takes place in Nawlins.

Axeman's Jazz (Skip Langdon, #2)

A J Cosmo has some of the most wonderful children’s books. I will be reviewing them later in the year. Be on the lookout. They could make fantastic gifts to share with the little ones for Christmas.

MY FRIDAY 56

A rustling of chairs as the crowd reenergizes.

Give ’em hell, Goode. Remember, it’s the squeaky wheel that gets the grease.

(page 56 of a hardcover)

MY BOOK BEGINNINGS

“Come to course zero-nine-zero, ahead one-third. Make ship’s depth fifty meter.”

“Aye, sir, coming to course zero-nine-zero, making ship’s depth fifty meters.”

“Engage computer.”

“Ayes, sir, computer engaged.”

01010010010101001010010010100100101001010010010010

“Mr. Chau. Prepare to bring Sorceress online. Flood nutrient womb. Prepare bacteria for injection.”

SYNOPSIS

Commander Rochelle “Rocky” Jackson is aboard the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan when the “unsinkable” naval vessel and its entire fleet are attacked from the depths and sunk. As Rocky struggles to stay alive, a monstrous mechanical steel stingray surfaces, plowing through the seas it now commands.

A U.S. Navy-designed futuristic nuclear stealth submarine the length of a football field in the shape of a giant stingray. Simon Covah, a brilliant scientist whose entire family were the victims of terrorism has hijacked the sub. Believing violence is a disease, Covah aims to use the Goliath and its cache of nuclear weapons to dictate policy to the world regarding the removal of oppressive regimes and nuclear weapons.

Could the threat of violence forge a lasting peace?

But there is another player in this life-and-death chess match. Unbeknownst to Covah and the Goliath crews, Sorceress, the Goliath’s biochemical computer brain has become self-aware.

And that computer brain is developing its own agenda.

The Trench by Steve Alten

 

Add me to Goodreads now.

MY FRIDAY 56

The damage began ten feet down…Jonas knew it would only be a matter of time until the joints were torn free. Once the first few went, the rest would follow quickly.

 

The ampullae of Lorenzini. The predator  was zooming in on the faint electrical field given off by his pounding heart.

 

(page 56 of a hardcover)

MY BOOK BEGINNINGS

Retired Navy deep-sea pilot Barry Leace wiped the sweat from his palms as he checked the depth indicator of the Proteus. Thirty-found thousand seven hundred and eighteen feet. Nearly seven miles of water above their heads, sixteen thousand pounds per square inch of water pressure surrounding them.

SYNOPSIS

Its appetite is ravenous. Its teeth scalpel-sharp. Its power unstoppable as it smashes the steel doors holding it in a Monterey Aquarium. For the first time, the captive twenty-ton Megalodon shark has tasted human blood, and it wants more. On the other side of the world, in the silent depths of the ocean, lies the Marianas Trench, where the Megalodon has spawned since the dawn of time. Paleo-biologist Jonas Taylor once dared to enter this perilous cavern. He alone faced a MEG and cut its heart out. He still wears the painful scars of that encounter. Now, as the body count rises and the horror of a monster’s attack grips the California coast, Jonas must begin the hunt again. But to do that means returning to the dark terror of the trench…where the MEG is waiting. Using himself as bait, Jonas will enter the ultimate battle–a fight to he death between man and beast in the darkest recesses of the ocean, and a fight for sanity from the depths of this own tormented soul.

Mr. Wonderful is working a Wahoos baseball game here in Pensacola, while I am watching Lavatrantula, blogging and playing some games on Facebook. We have a good life and truly appreciate where we are now. All our hard work is paying off.

During the Wahoo baseball games, they have quirky fun games to keep the kiddies happy, with some unlikely stars. Everyone begins early in the morning…
