When an ice cream vendor discovers a frozen stiff, Florida diner owner Gia Morelli has to serve up some just desserts . . .
Gia has become good friends with Trevor, a fun, flirtatious bachelor who owns the ice cream parlor down the street from her popular All-Day Breakfast Café. Trevor has the scoop on all sorts of local attractions and activities. But when he bursts into her diner, trembling and paler than a pint of French Vanilla, she can tell something's very wrong. Trevor points her toward his shop then passes out cold. When Gia runs down to his shop, she discovers a chilling sight—a dead body in the open freezer. But the ice cream man's troubles are just beginning. The police suspect him of this murder a la mode, especially when details of his questionable past surface. Gia believes in her friend and is determined to clear his name and find the real cold-blooded killer before someone else gets put on ice . . .
 
Lena Gregory lives in a small town on the south shore of eastern Long Island with her husband and three children. When she was growing up, she spent many lazy afternoons on the beach, in the yard, anywhere she could find to curl up with a good book. She loves reading as much now as she did then, but she now enjoys the added pleasure of creating her own stories.

The Author
Emily Brown is a loving wife and mother, a wellness consultant and a writer. Professionally she used to travel in Eastern Europe, Western Russia, Ukraine and the Caucasus region as a personal wellness and nutrition consultant. For a long time cooking has been her passion. She had a great opportunity to observe various cooking traditions and collect different recipes. Her first book is “Easy Peasy Tasty Salads: Fast and Easy Homemade Salad Recipes”, which is currently sold on Amazon and CreateSpace. 
My Thoughts
Easy Peasy Tasty Salads by Emily Brown is the perfect cookbook for the person or family that is interested in a healthy lifestyle, which starts with meal planning. If you like salads then this cookbook is for you. It has recipes for healthy salads such as various chicken salads, "Crunchy Salad" has cucumber in it and cucumbers provide vitamins A, B and C, which support the immune system. 

There are also fish salads such as "Pink Salmon and Cherry Tomatoes Salad", salmon is high in Omega 3 fatty acid so it is not only delicious but very healthy. There is a recipe, "Gherkins and Bean Salad" that I found interesting. A combination of gherkin pickles, canned beans and croutons all mixed together with mayonnaise. Speaking of mayonnaise, there is a bonus recipe to make your own batch of mayonnaise to use in the salads.

At the end of each recipe there is a "tip" section where the author gives a bit of info on some of the ingredients in the recipe. Tips about vitamins, and other nutritional benefits of the ingredients. I find this to be particularly useful as it gives the reader a bit more insight into what is healthy to eat. I also found that some of the recipes had a combination of ingredients that I would have never thought to put together such as cucumbers, jicama, avocado's and radishes as in "Avocado and Radish Salad". There are also pictures at the end of each recipe.

The author used her extensive travels to debunk some myths to certain foods such as eggs and shrimp that influence cholesterol when in fact they don't and are good for you because of the nutritional benefits, all in moderation of course.

I enjoyed the variety of recipes that are in this book, I will definitely be trying some and having hubby as my accomplice to enjoy them with me!

I received an ebook copy of this book for review purposes only.

Accepting Aerin By Tinsley Sellers Book Tour and Giveaway!



Title: Accepting Aerin (A Beckley's Daughters Romance Book Two) 
Author: Tinsley Sellers 
Genre: Contemporary/ Small-Town Romance 
Release Date: November 16, 2018 
Cover Designer: Better Together (Matthew & NJ Getson) 



Former Chicago Cubs third baseman Chet Coakley needs a quiet place to write the last novel in his best-selling series.
When a freak accident ends his baseball career, Chet finds his second chance writing a series of retro-detective novels. He's on a deadline and can't afford a distraction-especially not in the form of a vivacious blonde innkeeper who challenges everything he believes about himself.
Professional chef Aerin Buckholtz owns a vintage lodge and fifteen cabins on a secluded lake in the Michigan woods.
Betrayed by her best friend and self-conscious about her appearance, Aerin believes that romance isn't meant for her. She's building her business-and working to earn good reviews seems safer than admitting her attraction to a handsome former athlete who feels far out of her league.
Can Aerin and Chet learn to see themselves through each other's eyes and accept a love neither one saw coming?


 


 









Tinsley Sellers grew up in Chicago, spending her summers with her grandparents in a tiny town a lot like Beckley, Michigan. Life took her to Arizona, Washington, and Idaho before she finally found her home in Arkansas. She is married to the most amazing and supportive man, with whom she has rescued three dogs and two cats. When she's not writing, she teaches physics, astronomy, and engineering at the local university. When she’s not teaching, she’s probably trying new recipes. She enjoys fast cars, loud music, and long books.

Children of a Good War by Jack Woodville London Book Spotlight and Author Guest Post! #FrenchLetters

About the Book
Four decades after World War II, 1986 is a year of terrorist hijackings, of personal computers and CD players, of AIDS and Miami Vice. It also is a year in which a beloved doctor falls to his death, a Pan Am pilot is shot while trying to foil the takeover of Pan Am flight 73, and when four bitter French widows use their medicines as bets to play poker in their retirement home while a lonely nun observes her vows of silence in an Irish convent. And it is the year when a cache of faded letters is discovered in a cellar, causing Frank Hastings to realize that he is not who he believed he is, and to go in search of his mother.
Jack Woodville London Guest Post
“There was a minor commotion in the street and she realized that she had no choice but to follow
him outside. It was a relief, she felt, although she knew it was only a postponement. Miss Herald had gone to Faversham to tell Eldred Potts that she would no longer walk out with him, as it then was called.”
I set out to create a world for a woman named ‘Miss Herald.’ Who is she? She lived somewhere close to Faversham, which is an ancient village in England, ten miles or so from Canterbury and on the Roman road where the pilgrims of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales spent their last night before arriving in Canterbury proper. And, since she didn’t live in Faversham, where did she live? We soon learn that she lives in Canterbury where she attends the local ‘new’ university and studies archeology. We also learn that Faversham is the site of a mostly-demolished ruin where in the 1100’s an English queen and king were patrons of the church and were buried; Miss Herald has undergraduate fantasies of fame from discovering their remains or unearthing some other hidden relic of the past.
So, what was she doing in Faversham when the book begins? Rather than an archeological dig at the monastery, she was there to tell her boyfriend that she was through with him. I tried to infuse a bit of ‘bygonese’ into the paragraph by using the term ‘walk out’ as both a British term for dating and as a term that is now out of fashion.
Their names are clues. A ‘Herald’ is someone who brings news or is the sign that something is about to happen. I added another clue to the fact something was about to happen by saying her following Potts into the street because of a minor commotion was a ‘postponement.’ Potts is a reference to what most archeological digs yield, shards of pottery.
What is it that she heralds? Her presence heralds that buried bombs can explode to injure people long after they’ve been forgotten. That is one of the major themes of the novel. And, before long, Potts is no longer with us, the victim of a cow that stepped on a buried bomb from World War II and landed on him. And, on a more intimate scale, she is not invited to Potts’ funeral; the locals said that his unfortunate demise was what might be expected as Potts “should not have been trying to court Miss Herald in the first place, but should have stayed with ‘his own kind.’”

About the Author
Jack Woodville London is a former US Army captain, a respected trial-attorney, a noted World War II historian, and an internationally-acclaimed author. A graduate of West Texas A&M and the University of Texas Law School, Jack’s foundation in writing began when he was elected managing editor of the University of Texas International Law Journal in 1970.
Since then he has authored an extensive array of technical legal articles and has been a featured speaker on the law of evidence, complex aviation accidents, and similar topics, both in the United States and abroad. In 2003, Jack put aside legal topics to enroll in the prestigious writing school of St. Céré, France, where he graduated in a group of other esteemed writers.
Jack has spent much of his life exploring a deep interest in history, particularly the Second World War and its effects on the home front especially small towns. His twin loves of writing and history ultimately united to produce French Letters, a series of novels that are praised in the United States, Canada, and Europe for their meticulous historical research and ability to capture the languages, attitudes, and moral cultures of their settings.
Jack's first book, Virginia's War, has been a finalist for three awards; Novels with a Romantic Element by Uncommon Historical Fiction, Best Historical Novel of the Year by the Military Writers Society of America, and the Williams Foundation Award as Best Novel of the South.
The second novel in the trilogy, Engaged in War, received an Honorable Mention at the 2011 London Book Festival, and earned London the Military Writers Society of America’s 2011-2012 Author of the Year.
Jack lives in Austin, Texas with his wife, Alice, where he is hard at work on his latest novel, Children of a Good War.
