It's a Release Day Party!

-

Grab some donuts and coffee and join the party... it's Release Day!

Nothing ruins your day like a fresh corpse with your coffee

Election dayā€™s almost here, and the islandā€™s new pool is on the line. JJ should be all in with the campaign, but when a prominent Island businessman drops dead at her feet in the Have-A-Bite Bakery, someone has a mystery to solve. JJā€™s fiancĆ©ā€”police chief Ron Karlsonā€”is out of town. Who else is there?

JJ is missing her sweetheart, tired of the winter rains, and distracted by everybodyā€™s questions about when the weddingā€™s happening. Even more worrying, her foster-daughterā€™s father has failed to show up on schedule. No wonder JJā€™s struggling to wrap this one up before someone else bites into the wrong donut. Thereā€™s no time to lose, because something truly essential is on the line: saving the bakeryā€”and JJā€™s favorite espresso brownies!

MMGM: Carry Me Home, by Janet Fox

I'm posting today with t he fantastic Marvelous Middle Grade Mondays blog hop hosted by Greg Pattridge of Always in the Middle . Check out Greg's blog for a list of additional middle grade reviews.  As often happens, I'm not sure how I chose this one. It might have been reviewed earlier by one of my fellow MMGM posters, or I might have just found it while browsing the library. It sat on my Kindle for quite a while before I got down to it. Title: Carry Me Home Author: Janet Fox Publication Info: 2021, Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers. 220 pages (Kindle Edition). Source: Library Publisher's Blurb : Twelve-year-old Lulu and her younger sister, Serena, have a secret. As Daddy always says, ā€œitā€™s best if we keep it to ourselves,ā€ and so they have. But hiding your past is one thing. Hiding where you liveā€”and that your Daddy has gone missingā€”is harder. At first Lulu isnā€™t worried. Daddy has gone away once before and he came back. But as the days add up, ...

Flash Fiction Friday: Harvest Time

My brother set this challenge, based on something he saw in the grocery store... it's a very short flash, just over 250 words.  Harvest Time It wasnā€™t the farmerā€™s favorite job. At the end of the growing season, the crop had to be brought in, and it wasā€¦ disconcerting. Right up to harvest time, the crop was a pleasure to tend. He liked it all, carefully managing the fields, not thinking about the end.   He looked out over the fields now, aware that harvest time was coming fast. There were certain unmistakable signs, a stillness that began to settle over the fields. One more day. Not for the first time, he wished he could pick the time. It was going to be unseasonably warm.   The next morning, the farmer check the crop and called out the harvest crew. Distributing the special rakes, he made the usual speech, with extra urgency.   ā€œWe have to work hard to get the harvest in before it spoils in this heat. You know the drill. Into the bin...
