Catching UP!

Books Went to Press this week


CEMETERY WALK: A Hannah Griswold Mystery, Vol. 3, by Robert Kanehl
   Walking in a cemetery can be peaceful and reflective, as long as you don’t hear voices. Hannah Griswold, however, does hear voices. Why are they calling to her? Why can’t she have a normal teenage life?





Galleys that went out, or went out again, this week
SECOND GROWTH, by Joan L. Cannon

   Second Growth is about overcoming the past, about learning how to accept as well as how to offer help. A brilliant physician must find a way to heal himself — in spite of himself.
HAIL MARY by C.M. Albrecht.
    When retired cop Harry "Bulldog" Drummond dies, his free-spirited widow Mary, suddenly freed from the Bulldog's strait-laced ideas, recruits a couple of gals from her colorful past and the girls go on a tear. Meaning they create mayhem wherever they show up, much to the consternation of Mary's son, Creighton. Poor Cray just lost his job, he has a wife, two kids, two mortgages, a lazy dog and an old Chevy he was planning to replace with a new Jaguar. But the big raise he expected has vanished and so has his mother…along with his aging Chevy. To make matters worse, she doesn't even have a driver's license! 
CREST OF LIGHT: A Collection of Poetry by Bobbi Sinha-Morey
   This new collection is the very best of Bobbi Sinha-Morey. It delves deep into the stuff of life as she explores what goes in the lives of others as well as herself, expanding her waters. She writes a bit about birds again, dives into the beauty of life, often touching upon deep inner joy and pleasant idyllic scenes of how she sees the world through her eyes. This time, through her own experiences and research, she writes about Utah where she and her husband pent a total of three weeks. From all her rock hounding and sight-seeing she digs up the beauty of Utah, and the ways of the Native Indians who once lived there. At times she does nature poetry in her delicate hand, and she'll still do her haunting poetry, and diving deep down to what she fears the most.



WENDELL & TYLER:END OF THE ROAD, Open Road Series, Vol. 3, by James R. Kincaid
   The Journey Continues: This all originated with my mom, who had this idea that I should launch a voyage of discovery (my cool way of putting it) and spend the entire summer exploring the world outside me and the world within (whatever that means) by driving a luxury camper from Los Angeles to my Uncle Marshall’s in Atlanta. I am supposed to “court the unpredictable,” she says, “travel into the uncharted, the mysterious, even the frightening.”

WANTED: ROYAL PRINCESS SHOCK AND AWE, Royal Hearts of Mondoverde Series, Vol. 4., by Anna Dynowski
   Prince Maximillian, the playboy prince, is having way too much fun with the ladies, young and old and everything in between, to keep his name clean. Incorrigible, he’s been synonymous with scandalous headlines since he turned sixteen. While his laughing eyes, smooth talk, and charming manner make him the darling of Mondoverde, or at least, with the female population, the Graziano royal family despairs of him ever settling down. But can he find a woman who will rein in his wild streak and fix his princely image?

Jack's News!
  by your Official Bookstore Cat, 
and Gossip Columnist.
Hi Everyone,

Heard from the Writers Bloc. They will be meeting again tomorrow, at one p.m. in the Wicomico County Public Library in Meeting Room 3, or thereabouts. Any writer on the Eastern Shore is welcome.  They are working hard on their new collection, too. This time it will feature Noir stories.

Spunky was a bad girl again this week. I swear, I can't teach her anything. Of course she's still a baby, but you'd think she'd know better by now... She snuck out Tuesday night when Roger went out to lock up his workshop. And she was out All Night!

Oh I tried to tell them. I paced. I howled. I must have gone to the door a hundred times, but they were catching up on Game of Thrones.  (It's not bad, but they could use a nice cat on there. Arya used to chase them, and Tommen had a kitten he named Sir Pounce, but it disappeared after he married Marjorie... Why can't Tyrion have a nice feline companion -- perhaps one that would ride his shoulder...?)

Where was I?  Oh, they didn't even miss her at treat time so she got locked out All Night. Lord only knows what she was up to.  She probably caught and ate one of those poor little mice! Anyway, she must have eaten something nasty, because she's been sick ever since...

Between cleaning up her little messes, Roger and Arline worried about her day and night. Not me! I think it served her right. Even when she felt better and wanted to play, I just smacked her. Both of them have told us time and again that there is nothing outside that isn't bad for us.

Please be sure to send me all your news next week.  
Just send an e-mail to arline@mail.com with 
 "News for Jack" 

in the subject line, and
I'll make sure it shows up right here
for all the world to see!
