When his small hometown of Wynn falls under an ancient curse, Jake will find himself in a battle against creatures worse than any he’s faced in a game. Playing for keeps, it will be geek versus god in the fight to stop an evil force bent on destroying everything he holds dear.

The Mullet Are Flying At The Redneck Riviera for the Gulf Coast’s Greatest Beach Party

Posted on May 15, 2013 by fundinmental

The 29th annual Mullet Toss is held the last full weekend of April and this year was as great a party as ever. If you are not familiar with this athletic competition, let me tell you about it.

WHAT IS THE FLORABAMA MULLET TOSS?

A bunch of rednecks were looking for a reason to have a party and thought, what the heck, we got all this here fish, so let’s say we throw them from Alabama across the state line to Florida. Oh, let’s invite all our friends, and their friends, and their friends………………….. Hey ya’ll, we’ll probably get hungry and thirsty, so we need lots of food and plenty to drink. Thus, The Mullet Toss was born.

WHAT IS A MULLET?

A mullet is an indigenous fish to our area. There are tons of them and they are considered a delicacy here. On the east coast they are considered a trash fish used for bait. It is also the only fish with a gizzard and is said to have mystical powers. So beware and treat the fish with respect.

WHAT ARE THE RULES FOR COMPETING?

Wear as little as possible, so it does not hinder your toss.

The cost is $15, but heck you get a T-shirt.

You choose your mullet from the bucket, no sand and bare-naked, I mean bare-handed.

You must throw from within a ten foot circle and end up in the circle after your throw.

The Green Man made an appearance, demonstrating the correct way to throw your fish.

Chocolate Brown shows how to retrieve your fish.

You must retrieve your fish. If you feel the need to pose for your fans, by all means, do so.

For photographic instruction, please study the collage.

No harm is done to the fish, because they are dead. Besides tossing them, the mullet have other duties to perform. For each fish thrown, a portion of the proceeds go to local youth charities.

But, rednecks do not waste anything, so the birds are invited to the party.

Other events are The Flora-Bama® Mullet Man Triathlon and the Flora-Bama® Mullet Swing Golf Classic. There are daily bikini contests, culminating in the Ms. Flora-Bama® Bikini competition. There are more competitions, some of them created by the partiers themselves. Bands play all day and night, everywhere throughout the Florabama. Tons of great food just waiting to be eaten. Be sure and get your oysters and crawfish.

These are a collection of my wonderfully tacky trophies that are on display in the main bathroom for your viewing pleasure. I’m sure you won’t miss that tour when you are visiting Chez Fundin.

To see the individual trophies up close and personal, click HERE.

For more information, photos and to plan your trip to the Redneck Riviera………..go to Florabama and check it out. It will be worth your while and good for some chuckles.

Chasing the Mullet “GOLD” since 1996 at the Florabama

Posted on May 15, 2013 by fundinmental

I have been chasing the Mullet “GOLD” and throwing fish from Alabama to Florida since 1996. I have been competing for three decades, now that’s scary. LOL During the early years, when I was in my forties, the competition was so fierce I was rarely able to qualify.

Unfortunately, in 2009 and 2010, I was unable to reach the podium, but knew I would have another opportunity next year.

There was no Mullet Toss held in 2005 and 2006 because there was no Florabama. Hurricane Ivan had ravaged the area.

I am happy and proud to display my trophies for your viewing pleasure. Please be sure to go HERE to see what all the ruckus is about.

I take my hat off to this Zombie Western – Survivor Roundup, Book II of the Zombie West Series, by Angela Scott

Posted on May 14, 2013 by fundinmental

Spoiler Alert: Survivor Roundup is Book II in the Zombie West Series by Angela Scott. I could hardly wait to start this book, after finishing Wanted: Dead or Undead, Book I. To see my 5 STAR Review of Wanted, go HERE.

This is any unlikely story for me to rate 5 STARS. It is full of suspense and surprises, as it twists its way down the dusty trail. If you like Zombies in any way, shape, or form, this book is a must read.

Survivor Roundup (The Zombie West Series, #2) Add To Goodreads

Caroline was having the baby and called for Red. Red was afraid to help. She knew she was different from the others and was afraid of what she might do to the baby when she smelled the blood. Rivers said she would help her and took Red’s hand, leading her to Caroline.

The Zombies outside the fort were screaming and howling more than usual. It was like they knew the birth was imminent. When the baby gave its first cry, the Zombies went wild, trying desperately to enter the fort, losing body parts as they walked and climbed over each other, scratching at the doors.

Their food supplies were getting very low. They knew they would have to do something, and soon, or they would all starve to death.

Red knew she was their first and last line of defense. She would have to go out among the Zombies and open the way for Trace to get the wagon out of the fort. She was shooting and slashing, blood and body parts flying through the air. The blood covered every inch of her body. The plan worked.

The rest of her “posse” would be safe in the fort, until they returned.

They had been searching for anything of value, anywhere, but came up empty. After two days, they came across a cabin with smoke rising from the chimney. The old woman told them she had nothing to give them. She was barely able to take care of her kids. She told them not to go to Mill Creek, because it was overrun with Zombies, so they knew that was where they had to go.

Red entered Mill Creek, walking among the Undead like she was invisible to them. She scavenged whatever she thought they could use.

Trace never saw the men coming. What was worse, they saw Red in town with all the Zombies.

When Red returned to the wagon, the men descended upon her.

What would become of her?

Red had a secret and it gave her a reason to survive.

What about her posse?

Animated Animals. Pictures, Images and Photos 5 STARS – Would Buy It For Them (lol)

First off, I am not a big fan of Zombies and haven’t read many Westerns since I used to read my father’s books many years ago. I don’t get into Zombie movies and have not read a lot of Zombie books, but this one was amazing. The book took it to a level that made me want more. It captured my heart and my imagination.

Sometimes a second book will not compare to the first, but this just kept getting better and better. I find myself smiling as I picture some of the scenes. Pretty sick, huh? The more I read, the more I liked the story. It made me realize I have missed reading Westerns and will be looking for more of them. The book was so realistic, at times I would forget about the Zombies.

The book is very well written and the suspense kept me racing through the pages, wondering how this could end well. I kept thinking, what can you do with the story? Where can it go?

The characters seemed so real to me. I loved most of them. But, there must be a bad, evil, black-hatted monster for the white hats to fight and prevail over.

I love Rivers. Even though she was only eleven, being raised in the Wild West gave her a maturity that the kids nowadays sorely lack. Due to the harsh living conditions, she was forced to grow up fast. She didn’t think about things much, just did what was necessary.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

It seems Man sinks to its lowest, loosing their most evil depravities on humanity, when the chips are down. The most corrupt seem to rise first. Then, it is up to the white hat to take them down. Is that because we dwell on the awful and don’t see the good?

The part where the bandits were being attacked by the Zombies was awesome. I could picture the Zombies under the wagon, grabbing the guy and pulling him off his feet. Sounds like something I saw on Supernatural. I love seeing the bad guys get their comeuppance.

Munchers, uglies, nutters, undead, walkers, unfortunates.

When Angela talks about the young boy eating his own fingers and toes and Red giving him the freshly killed rat, I could picture it. How gruesome. So, be prepared and be afraid.

I will be looking for Book III, Dead Plains, due out this fall.

I won a signed, first edition, paperback Arc of Wanted: Dead Or Undead, The Zombie West Series Book 1 by Angela Scott, back in December. Then, in April, I won Survivor Roundup, Book 2. The books were screaming at me to be read. I am so glad I won Book 2, because I wanted to start reading it as soon as I finished with Wanted: Dead or Undead. So I can. And you can too.

Be sure and read the author bio. I love learning about the authors of the books I read and oftentimes find them as entertaining as the books themselves. Like a super short story.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Angela Scott I hear voices. Tiny fictional people sit on my shoulders and whisper their stories in my ear. Instead of medicating myself, I decided to pick up a pen, write down everything those voices tell me, and turn it into a book. I’m not crazy. I’m an author.

For the most part, I write contemporary Young Adult novels. However, through a writing exercise that spiraled out of control, I found myself writing about zombies terrorizing the Wild Wild West—and loving it. My zombies don’t sparkle, and they definitely don’t cuddle. At least, I wouldn’t suggest it.

I live on the benches of the beautiful Wasatch Mountains with two lovely children, one teenager, and a very patient husband. I graduated from Utah State University with a B.A. degree in English, not because of my love for the written word, but because it was the only major that didn’t require math. I can’t spell, and grammar is my arch nemesis. But they gave me the degree, and there are no take backs.

As a child, I never sucked on a pacifier; I chewed on a pencil. I’ve been writing that long. It has only been the past few years that I’ve pursued it professionally, forged relationships with other like-minded individuals, and determined to make a career out of it.

Review of Absolution by Susan Fleet

Posted on May 13, 2013 by fundinmental

This book will grab you from the first page and not let you go. Feelings of frustration, disgust, and anger will leave you panting for more. I kept wanting to yell, don’t open the door.

He was watching Dawn from his car, thinking of how she teased him. She was a sinner, not very bright, and she would be his fourth Absolution in New Orleans. He knew the police and FBI were after him but he felt God was watching over him .

The citizens were up in arms, wanting action. Racial tensions were high and they had just arrested a black man for being near the murder scene. Rona knew they were trying to pin it on a black guy, so she told Renzi about Kitty, her informant. She took Renzi to talk to her. Kitty claimed to be a psychic. He arranged for her to do an identikit, but before he left, she told him she thought the guy was a priest. He had made a sign, as if absolving her of her sins.

When Rona published the story stating a witness had escaped the Tongue Killer and described him as white and a priest, all hell broke loose and Renzi was in the middle of it. What would that mean for the witness?

Father Sean was very upset about Lynette. All the victims had been Catholic and he had told his housekeeper, Aurora, about seeing her talking to a young priest at the mall. When Father Sean approached him to talk to him, he had been very rude. She thought he should go to the police, but he had secrets of his own. The police and FBI would begin to question him, and his secrets would come out.

Father Sean Daily was doodling with the killers sketch while thinking of what would happen if he was exposed. Suddenly it dawned on him, it looked like………

Animated Animals. Pictures, Images and Photos 5 – Would Buy It For Them (lol)

I guess I must be a pretty sick person, because I love to read about serial killers. I feel they must be some of the most depraved animals, that are considered to be part of the human race. Murder and death are fascinating to me.

I feel the media tends to inflame the killers, by giving them the attention they crave. Giving them names – Son of Sam, BTK, Green Mile Killer, just to name a few. I think the media will go to any lengths to increase their bottom line. The reporter will lie and make things up to break a story, win a Pulitzer.That is only one of the evils involved. There are plenty more to go around.

Politics. What can I say about politics? High profile cases are used to climb the ladder of advancement. Some can only be promoted to the level of their incompetence. It is seen everywhere and in every walk of life.

This book includes all of the above. It will piss you off, as you read about Norris. And the media naming the serial killer – Tongue Killer. Susan seems to hit on a lot of the problems going on today in her books. I like that it makes it more real and stirs my emotions, sometimes to a fever pitch.

The Killer – he studied serial killers and liked that he had a name, because so many of them did. Of course, he thought he was smarter than the press, police and FBI. He had a mission. He had to expose the evil women. His goal for them was Absolution.

Norris is the biggest dick. Arrogant, know it all. A man I love to hate. He is disrespectful, bigoted, racist, and the boss. He will climb the ladder, by stepping on you. If you don’t get pissed off when you read about him, then you must be a better person than I.

Renzi and Norris are constantly butting heads. Renzi has to bite his tongue and watch Norris take the credit for his work. On top of that, his father is a judge and his expectations for Renzi are high.

Kenyon Miller, his partner, “Didn’t your daddy tell you never to pick fights with guys bigger than you?” Renzi, “Hell, no. When a damsel’s in distress, my father expects me to slay the dragon, no matter how big it is.”

What can I say about New Orleans? They don’t call it The Big Easy for nothing. You can tell that Susan loves the town and her years spent there. She also manages to work her love of Jazz into her stories. I have spent many a day – and night – in New Orleans and there is no other place like it.

Shotgun house – can shoot through the front door and out the back without hitting a wall. I had never heard of that, until I moved down south. I actually lived in a shotgun house, but it had been remodeled and a wall built to block the bullet. lol

I received this book from the author in return for an honest and unbiased review.

This is a different kind of Vampire novel that I could really sink my teeth into – Eternal Island, Book I

Posted on May 10, 2013 by fundinmental

I won this book back in January during a Giveaway on the fuonlyknew blog. I would like to thank Laura Thomas, Ella Medler and K. S. Haigwood for offering the book. I had seen the book around, how could I miss it with the awesome cover. I just knew there was paranormal activity going on between the “pages” and could hardly wait to get my hands on it. Needless to say, I was not disappointed.

Be sure and look for the Giveaway at the end of the post. One lucky commenter will win an ebook copy of Eternal Island Book I and the just released Eternal Immortality, Book II.

Eternal Island by K. S. Haigwood and Ella Medler

Eternal Island (Book 1 in the Eternal Series)

Rainey, a psychic and right hand to Abe, told him there was more bad news. To him it seemed that was all he ever got from her. Rainey told him he would meet his soul mate and she would be human. He was the the vampire king, so it was impossible for him to hook up with a human.

She pulled out the crystal ball and he laughed. It was so cliche. She warned him, don’t look into the ball unless you are prepared to fall in love. Him? Was she crazy? But when he looked into it………….

It was instant love. Ariana. He knew he could not live without her. Rainey would go get her and she would leave now.

Rainey woke Ariana and explained to her about Eternal Island. She used her powers to keep her calm as she talked to her. She thought it best not to tell her about Abe. Ariana agreed to come. What did she have to lose?

Ariana had been in a coma for eight weeks. She had no memory of how she came to be there or who she was. She had a vision about her and Abe. Not so good, considering he was a vampire.

Once on the plane with Rainey, she began to think she might have made a mistake, trusting a witch.

When Rainey made the island appear in the empty ocean, Ariana asked ,

“This witchy stuff. Is it something you learn, or something you’re born with? Can you teach me?”

They landed and Ariana saw the car, a Lotus. Rainey said she may give it to her, she was ready for a new car and asked if she wanted to drive it. Ariana could hardly contain her excitement.

“Are you freaking serious? Hell yeah, I wanna drive.”

As they drive off, I can’t help but wonder what will become of Ariana. She has no memory, going to a place with witches, vampires, and who knows what else. Will she reciprocate Abe’s love and live happily ever after? Will a malevolent evil make her life a living hell?

5 STARS – Would Buy It For Them (lol)

I saw the cover, and thought this would be a great book. I was right.

It was well written and I loved the “tone” of the writing. I loved the humorous, sarcastic dialogue. Did some of Ella’s and K. S.’s personality leak onto the “pages”?

Most vampire books can be pretty heavy, know what I mean? But this was light-hearted and fun to read. More than once I caught myself smiling or laughing. An original concept and a departure from the norm. I always like that.

I love fast cars, so it always catches my attention when a hot one is mentioned. When you read the book, you will see why they loved driving.

Abe – vampire, like a baby learning to deal with feelings and emotions, confusing him. High vampire. “finer than frog hair”

Ariana- persuasive, smart, intuitive, beautiful, strongest witch, powerful healer. Do what she wants. Dream walker, “super witch” .

Rainey – witch, visions, Abe’s right hand. Professor. Teaches magic, potion making.

“she finally met a hot guy and he’s only in dreams, that figures. “

Rainery – “I’ve always wanted to read other peoples minds. but after hearing your thoughts I dont think I want to any more.”

The depth of Abe’s love was amazing. To hear a Vampire describe his feelings like that was a nice twist for the genre.

“How the hell could he have a broken heart when his his heart hadn’t beaten in hundreds of years?”

Abe – “I love you Ariana. Fall and Ill catch you”

I thought it was great that Ariana’s human friends were included. Bringing the normal, outside world into the fantasy world, made the story seem more realistic. The characters captured me, as if they were real people. They sure did act like it.

I think we all have a vague idea about the way this will end, but the journey getting there is well worth the time. No waiting for Book II. It is scheduled for release on May 10, 2013.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Ella Medler

I live in Cornwall with my husband and our two teenage daughters who regularly threaten to never leave home (must be my cooking).

Together, we care for a large assortment of pets, some small enough to fit in a fish tank, and some capable of causing you significant injury on impact.

I was born in Transylvania but got chucked out due to my inability to grow fangs and reluctance to sleep in coffins. I studied economics to masters level, and qualified with 93.5% (damn good, considering I really wasn’t interested). I wanted to be an archaeologist, travel the world, scrape around in mud and live in squalor. Unfortunately, my mother won that argument, and so, after refusing a teaching post (I never did like school), I started work in business development consultancy roles, where I met my husband, the lucky so and so.

The rest is history. If you’re reading this, you already know the end of the story.

The Spotlight is on Love by Premonition – Holly Trent

Posted on May 10, 2013 by fundinmental

Love by Premonition

Holly Trent

Genre: Light Paranormal Romance

Marcia Andrews is a freelance psychic consultant. Sick of living hand to mouth, she accepts a contract with Raleigh Police. A new gang called The Cardinals is terrorizing The Triangle, and Marcia gives the department an edge in tracking them. Help that she is, one cop isn’t so keen on her involvement, and makes sure she knows it.

Detective Nat McCoy would rather see Marcia in his bedroom than the bullpen. The gorgeous Scotsman isn’t the typical chauvinist pig, though. He’s keeping a secret that even the psychic doesn’t anticipate.

A close encounter with a Cardinal’s bullet knocks Marcia off her game when the police need her most. She loses hours to trances and ghosts haunt her sleep. She can hardly function, and everything she thought she knew about playboy McCoy suddenly seems questionable. McCoy thinks he knows the cure for what ails her—him. But can she trust him?

“Babies are super cute – until they want to eat you.” Wanted: Dead or Undead by Angela Scott

Posted on May 9, 2013 by fundinmental

The plague of the Zombies was upon them. President Garfield’s address ended with, “You’re on your own and good luck.”

WANTED: Dead or Undead (The Zombie West Series, #1)

WINNER:Kindle Book Review Best Indie Book of 2012 – Young Adult

WINNER: League of Utah Writers Golden Quill Award 2012

FINALIST: The 2012 USA Best Book Awards (sponsored by USA Book News) – Young Adult

Trace was facing a showdown over the poker table, when she walked into the saloon..

She killed the zombie, chugged an Old Grand Dad and left. He followed her.

Why did she look so familiar? Then, he remembered the Wanted poster.

When he called her Red, she thought, it might be easier to shoot him now.

She tried to keep an emotional distance, but her posse kept growing at every stop she made.

Was she the only one of her kind? Was she a miracle?

Would she be their salvation or their curse?

Animated Animals. Pictures, Images and Photos 5 STARS – Would Buy It For Them (lol)

I gave this book five stars, because it was a total surprise. I thought – Zombies – Wild West – where can she go with this. And she took me on a ride through towns, prairies, hot and cold and everything you can think the Wild West would include. Except for the Zombies. A unique read and I am always happy to come across a book that surprises me and takes me off on a new and different adventure.

This was a quick read. Gripping from the first pages. Once I started it, I couldn’t put it down. Didn’t even want to write this review. I wanted to go right into the next book. But, I have found, when I do that, I end up totally confused when it comes time to write the review. So I will do this first, then, you better believe I will be grabbing my Kindle and reading Survivor Roundup, The Zombie West Series #2. So be sure and come back for the next review.

Read like a real Western, except for the Zombies. My dad always loved Westerns. And when I was younger, there weren’t all the TV channels you have today. So I read a lot of his books and watched The Rifleman, Bonanza, Maverick, Cheyenne, Gene Autry, Gunsmoke, Have Gun Will Travel…….Too many to name. When I remember them, I have fond memories of my dad. So, thank you Angela, for bringing those memories back to me.

Even though it was an arc, it was well written and flowed smoothly. I raced through the pages, not knowing what would happen to Red. It is rare for me to find a book so full of surprises and that rates very high with me. There is plenty of gore, slashing and ripping, biting and munching. The blood flies along with the body parts.

And Romance, plenty of that too. Even though Red tries to avoid it, Trace won’t give up on her. As her posse grows, so does her love for them.

I won a signed, first edition, paperback Arc of Wanted: Dead Or Undead, The Zombie West Series #1 by Angela Scott, back in December and she signed it “Babies are super cute – until they want to eat you.” How cool is that? I had to make it the title to my post, it was too good to pass up and every time I look at it, I get a big grin on my face and laugh quietly.

Then, in April, I won Survivor Roundup, Book 2. The books were screaming at me to be read. I am so glad I won Book 2, because I wanted to start reading it as soon as I finished with Wanted: Dead or Undead. So I can. And you can too. Dead Plains, Book 3, is due out this fall.

Be sure and read the author bio. I love learning about the authors of the books I read and oftentimes find them as entertaining as the books themselves. Like a super short story.
