I just got some fantastic news!

Michael Hebler has his short story, Rattlesnake, listed as perma-free on Amazon.

It’s a gritty, dark tale and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Take a gander at my review, and if you want your free copy just click on the cover!

Rattlesnake

Loving Michael Hebler’s Chupacabra series so much, I was thrilled to grab a copy of Rattlesnake.  Always ready for something different from this author.

My Review

One twist after another in this short tale of a man in search of his son.

Right from the beginning, I knew something wasn’t right. Perhaps because I’ve read several books by this author, I was forewarned.

A man and a boy around a campfire, in the night. Doesn’t sound so bad. Until the man starts to threaten the lad, demanding to know where his son is, what he’s done with him. Twist number one.

As you learn about earlier events, twist number two occurs.

And when you reach the end, the final twist.

Coming in at last than 20 pages, it sure packs a wallop.

The cover art is perfect. Such a show and tell about this dark little story. You’ll see when you read it.

4 Stars

Synsopsis

Hello everyone and Happy Sunday!

It was super busy at work this week, but worth it as I got Friday off for a long weekend. Figures it had to rain. LOL So I watched a lot of TV. Have you seen The Revenant yet. Boy does DiCaprio nail it. So cinematic. And Krampus was fun. Not super scary, but loads of suspense and Krampus was so creepy. I also binged on Penny Dreadful. I’m surprised I didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought I would. Oh well. I’ll keep watching it and see how it goes. I’m really looking forward to Preacher in a couple of weeks. Hoping it lives up to its hype.

I mentioned my attempt to install new stairs in my pool last week and the main part was missing. The company came through and I had the needed part in 2 days. Now to get my brother back over here to help finish installing it. Then I’m good to go for my mother. She comes down later this month to spend the summer and we get in the pool every day. I can’t wait to see her. We enjoy just sitting around, but also like to go shopping, out to eat, and play cards. We usually get mad at each when playing cards. We’re both very competitive. LOL And of course, we’ll be getting together with the rest of family to do some road trips and hit some casinos. I have a sister and brother-in-law that live in Florida, and a brother that lives right down the road from me. We have so much fun when we all get together. Let the good times roll!

Hello everyone and Happy Sunday!

So, what did I do this week. A lot of the usual work and stuff. I did read several books and binged on movies.

Then I went swimming. The pool has warmed to low 80s and it’s deliciously refreshing! I’m remembering my sunscreen so I don’t get too much exposure. I was enjoying the water and found myself humming a song from Finding Nemo. Remember “nothing in my noggin’ Dory?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l_tFa4-5OM

I got so excited when the new pool stairs arrived. My brother came over Saturday morning to help me put them together. Wouldn’t you know it. The most important part was missing. So, not being able to get anyone on the phone over the weekend, I have to wait until Monday to get someone on the line and get the missing part sent to me. Ugh!!!

My son and I had a movie night and popped popcorn, turned out the lights, and blasted Ant Man into our living room on the big screen. Corny but fun.

As we were watching the movie, we noticed a sickening sweet smell in the room. Turns out my dog rolled in something dead. I got out the doggie smell good spray and dosed him good. Helped a little. Then another obnoxious odor oozed in the room. My dog does not usually pass gas. But, boy, he caused our eyes to water. LOL Can’t wait for whatever it is to pass through his system. We need gas masks!

Hello everyone and Happy Sunday!

Been a fast week. And I can’t say I did much. Work was so-so and I didn’t do much around the house or yard. Rained most of the week and I just got the blues.

That’s all over now. I got up this morning and watched the sun rise from my back patio and it was glorious. A steady breeze is blowing in from the south, bringing the scent of blooming flowers and I am overwhelmed with all the different shades of green. A superb day!

Hello everyone and Happy Sunday!

It’s been fairly routine for me this week. Been busy at work and busy working in the yard. Got a sunburn. Funny that I’m excited about it. It’s a sign that summers on the way. No more cold weather. Finally!

I got in the pool to clean it today. The water temp is only 70 so it was pretty darn cold. I was in for around an hour and it felt great.

That’s about it for me this week.

Got lots of books to share, so let’s get to it!

Hello everyone and Happy Sunday!

I wanted to apologize for not visiting many posts last week. The flu kept my head all wiggy and I just couldn’t find the energy. All better now and thanks to everyone for the lovely well wishing!

I didn’t get many reviews posted this week and, luckily, I had some posts already scheduled or it would’ve been mighty quiet on fuonlyknew the past several days. So glad I’m back to myself so quickly and ready to jump back into things.

What I did find time for was a lot of free books to share today. Many of them are new authors for me and I’m excited to try a few myself.

Hello everyone and Happy Easter!

Not much happening here. Just chilling, watching movies and reading some good books. My son and I will probably have pizza delivered and stay right here at home. Yucky weather, anyway. Lots and lots of rain.

the flu photo: flu flu2.gif

Wouldn’t you know it.  With spring here, I thought the flu bug missed me. Nope, here I am, all yucky feeling. Hot one minute, cold the next. Muscles feel like they’ll break if I use them. LOL Luckily, it doesn’t appear to be too bad, and I’m hopeful it will go away quickly. I find staying busy keeps my mind off it, so, after spending a good portion of Saturday in bed, I’ve been reading and writing reviews for the next month or so. I also plan on going to work Monday no matter how I feel. It seems to help me not think about how I feel and, working pretty much alone, I don’t risk giving it to others.

Speaking of that. I don’t know anyone who is sick, so where did I get this bug? One guess. The grocery store. You pick up an item, someone has already handled it, and voila! You got a gift. LOL

Got lots of books to share, so let’s get to it!

Welcome to my Saturday Screams where I share reviews of all things scary.

For today I have another Ellie Jordan: Ghost Trapper book to share with you. I adore this series. So fun and so scary.

But before I get to that, I have something exciting to share with you! The first book in this series is free right now on Amazon. Click on the cover below to grab your copy and get started on this series now!

And now, without further adieu….

Terminal

Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper #4

by J.L. Bryan

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

My Review

All aboard! This series takes a trip to the past. To the wild west, train robberies, and murder. What begins as a banshee threatening a family quickly becomes a show down between Ellie and her team and gun slinging ghosts.

It’s bad enough to trap ghosts in one location. Imagine a whole ghost town, and a haunted train.

I’m still loving this series and it’s characters.

The hauntings get stranger and scarier.

The romance is there. Not too much in this book as there are too many things going on for any of them to be indulging much in affairs of the heart.

And a big change might be coming soon. Ellie’s boss, the owner of the ghost trapping agency, has been acting morose, withdrawn. He’s mentioned maybe selling the agency and retiring. What will Ellie do then? She can’t see herself working for some phony ghost busting show, or bilking customers for large amounts of money. Can she keep doing this without him? Is she ready?

This installment in the series is more complex, tighter. There’s a lot of history leeching into it.  There’s always some of that as the things being investigated are dead. You have to go back to the beginning of their stories to solve the current hauntings. But this was double fun. I love the old west and couldn’t be happier with how this investigation went down.

Another excellent book in the series. Still loving it.

5 Stars

Synopsis

Ellie Jordan and her apprentice Stacey investigate a house in an elaborate planned community that was only half-built before it went bankrupt, leaving an instant ghost town with only a few residents. The entity haunting this house is a banshee that feeds on sadness and misery.

Unfortunately for Ellie, this is no simple haunting, but just one symptom of the cursed land on which the suburban community was built. The old railroad line running through the nearby woods might just be a conduit for lost souls, including dark spirits with ill intentions toward the living. Ellie soon finds herself facing one of the most complex and difficult hauntings she’s seen in her career.

House Of Whispers

Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper #5

By J.L. Bryan

25867970

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

Synopsis

The luxurious Lathrop Grand Hotel is a Savannah institution that has entertained guests for more than a century and a half, offering some of the finest accommodations in the city. Famously haunted, the hotel draws tourists from around the world eager to encounter its numerous ghosts. The hotel is also known for being honeycombed with hidden doors and secret passages, enabling staff to appear and disappear quickly as they attend to the hotel’s guests.

Now some of the spirits in the Lathrop Grand have turned violent, even murderous. Ellie and Stacey must determine which ghost has become dangerous and remove it from the hotel before it can claim any more lives. They soon learn the hotel has secrets even darker than the notorious string of nineteenth-century murders that made it famous, and the powerful entities inhabiting it don’t intend to leave without a fight.

Hello everyone and happy Sunday!

Time sure is flying. And so was everything outside my house this week!

Around 9 P.M. Thursday night I heard a strange whistling noise approaching my house. It got louder and louder, and then I heard this chuffing noise. I feared it was a tornado.

Thinking fast, I grabbed my cat and called my dog to me as I ran to my son’s room. We all gathered in a small hallway at one end of the house. The safest place because it’s surrounded by rooms.

We only had seconds before the storm hit. Could hear branches slamming on the house. Outdoor furniture tumbling off the back porch. And a loud crash as something broke. The rain and hail made such a din.

After about 20 minutes, the storm lessened and I dared to look outside. It was hard to see in the dark, but I noticed the pool ladder was gone, along with the outdoor furniture.

Living on the Gulf Coast, I’ve been through plenty of storms and hurricanes, but this scared me like you can’t imagine. I was sure it was a tornado and we were goners. Thank God we made it through safely.

In the light of day, I went out to view the damage. The pool ladder was in the middle of the yard, and my lawn furniture was all the way over by the fence. The loud crash was explained too. I had just replaced a toilet and the old one was on my porch, waiting for garbage day. It had blown over and the tank shattered. There were huge limbs broken around the house and my trash cans were in the road.

No major damage, just lots of clean up. All that and we never lost power! I hope I never go through that again.

Got lots of books to share, so let’s get to it!

You never know what you’re going to get when you meet this author’s zombies. In one book, they were singing Christmas carols. LOL At one point in the story I thought I knew what they’d be doing. But nope, it was something else. Still made me laugh, until I took the time to picture them. Then it was pretty creepy.

The story beings with two strangers meeting on a brutally cold winter’s day. They decide to stick together. The odds are better for survival that way. Two pairs of eyes and ears to warn of approaching zombies.

It’s not long before they run into trouble, narrowly escaping with their lives. It’s now become vital that they find a place to hole up. The zombies don’t get tired. They don’t feel the cold. And they do not stop coming.

From the mind of Anthony Renfro comes a new kind of zombie,. A smart zombie, kind of. They do think, but that doesn’t necessarily make them that smart. Several scenes have me laughing and cringing.

The characters are few. Just two men and a cat. Not including the hoard of zombies.

It’s these characters and their struggles to survive that drive this short story. Make it a deep experience.

The harsh environment of cold winter makes their struggles even harder. It’s bad enough they have to worry about food and warmth. There’s also those zombies who don’t feel the cold.

Not one to shy from gory details, you get plenty here. And the author’s macabre sense of humor shines in the end. You won’t see it coming. Just like one of the characters didn’t. Since it made me laugh, I guess I have a macabre sense of humor too.

THE OPENING

Eric surveyed the road ahead and behind him. The world was filled with death. The highway was littered with silent, rusting cars sitting on rotting tires, waiting on drivers who were never going to drive them again. Ripped apart, torn open and partially eaten corpses littered the ground in various forms of decay. The corpses ranged from children to elderly adults. The zombies had done a number on them when they went into their “feeding frenzy.” The bodies that weren’t on the ground or pulled from their cars were still seated, and most of them still strapped into their seat belts, like they were still driving to whatever destination they had been going to before the world fell into death’s harsh embrace.

Eric breathed in deep and felt the cold air settle into his lungs. Bitter winter winds whipped at his face and tore at his clothes, trying to get inside the protective layers. Flakes of snow fell from the sky, nothing more than flurries.

“It’s something,” Eric replied, looking down at the white and grey cat in its carrier. He then put his eyes back on the man sitting with his back against a car.

Synopsis

Synopsis

Dawn stopped at the edge of the parking lot. What she saw in front of her was an apocalyptic nightmare. It was a picture of mass panic frozen in a time of chaos.

The parking lot looked like a war zone–cars burned to metal bodies, cars crashed together, cars turned over, shopping carts everywhere and in all kinds of positions, (food and supplies in these carts long since looted), and bodies, lots and lots of dead bodies. Most of them had been laying out here rotting in the hot sun for far too long, and they were now decayed and gooey, slipping back into the Earth one second at a time.

She closed her eyes, held the gold cross on a chain around her neck, prayed, and then crossed the parking lot.
