And fatefully in between lies Samantha Lessing. Sam arrives at reunion weekend lugging a rotten marriage, dumb hope, and a portable audio recorder she’ll use for a public radio-style documentary on the Pruitt-Gallagher rivalry — widely known as the pinebox vendetta.

Can Kit and Dante keep the alliance mates safe from pirates, alien threats, and all the usual dangers of a colony, or have they both gotten in far too deep?
With the pirates uniting behind a single leader as well, only one thing is for sure: Those who can fly, must. And every good mate counts.

The Zodiac Killer #1
Detective Darek Blake thought the secrets of his past were long buried, but when a young girl is murdered in a familiar way, finding the killer will not only bring back memories he’s repressed, but give him a golden opportunity to impress the FBI.
So, when his partner, Special Agent Lizzy McNamara digs up evidence that’s a little too close to home, he’s shaken to the core. The worst sin he’s ever committed bubbles up, threatening to destroy his future.
Are the Zodiac killings a coincidence or is someone toying with him, and if so… who?
Capricorn Book #2
Being a suspect in a murder case never happens at a good time, but for Capricorn, Tad Halston, a recovering addict and former male escort who is on the verge of reclaiming his place as an in-demand male model, the timing couldn’t be worse.
With bodies piling up and more evidence pointing to him for the murders, the last thing he needs is a series of anonymous messages demanding he make the next kill for vengeance. Can he murder the uncle who abused him and sent his life hurtling down this dark path, or will his sister become the real killer’s next victim? For Tad, time is running out.
Now that Darek Blake has hired Bay “The Slayer” Collins as his divorce attorney, he realizes the man’s help will come at a much higher price. Becoming an informant was never part of the deal, but with new evidence hitting too close to home, Darek is left with no other choice. With the killer targeting Darek’s old friends, he has to decide which side is most important, his role as a detective, or his past as part of the Zodiac Society.
Pisces Book #3
With the suspicious death of Tad Halston, Detective Darek Blake finds walking the line between NYPD detective and Zodiac member a more daunting task than ever. Hannah Halston, Tad’s sister, refuses to believe the official story that her brother went on a vengeful killing spree. She’s doing her best to clear his name, which brings Darek’s partner, Special Agent Lizzy McNamara, even closer to his criminal past.
Meanwhile, whoever is targeting the Zodiacs has their sights on Logan Miller. His life is complicated enough already, with his struggling career and bitter relationship with an older woman, but when he meets Hannah Halston at her brother’s funeral, lending a sympathetic shoulder turns into so much more. He’s determined to end things with the older woman until she tells him she’s dying. Stuck between a rock and hard place, does he continue his relationship, or go where his heart tells him? Will the killer choose for him?

Book Description:
A chance meeting with a charismatic photographer will forever change Elizabeth’s life.
Until she met Richard, Elizabeth’s relationship with Georgia O’Keeffe and her little-known Hawaii paintings was purely academic. Now it’s personal. Richard tells Elizabeth that the only way she can truly understand O’Keeffe isn’t with her mind―it’s by getting into O’Keeffe’s skin and reenacting her famous nude photos.
In the intimacy of Richard’s studio, Elizabeth experiences a new, intoxicating abandon and fullness. It never occurs to her that the photographs might be made public, especially without her consent. Desperate to avoid exposure―she’s a rising star in the academic world and the mother of young children―Elizabeth demands that Richard dismantle the exhibit. But he refuses. The pictures are his art. His property, not hers.
As word of the photos spreads, Elizabeth unwittingly becomes a feminist heroine to her students, who misunderstand her motives in posing. To the university, however, her actions are a public scandal. To her husband, they’re a public humiliation. Yet Richard has reawakened an awareness that’s haunted Elizabeth since she was a child―the truth that cerebral knowledge will never be enough.
Now she must face the question: How much is she willing to risk to be truly seen and known?

Organizing Your Kindle Books Into Collections
Over the past few years, I’ve posted this in some form or fashion a couple of times with the last time being in February of this year. However, I’ve been asked about this topic many times over the last couple of weeks as we have a lot of new readers to this blog as well as people upgrading to new varieties of Kindles, so it’s obviously time to post this tip again and update where appropriate.
Today’s post is rather long and is about the “Collections” feature, and is broken up into two parts. The first section is a general review of what a collection is and how to establish them on your new Kindle – which might be handy to those of you who have upgraded from any previous version of Kindle on the market
Please note these instructions are for e-Ink Kindles only; I will post something similar for Fire tablets soon.
Collections – A Basic Primer and “How To”
Background
Your Kindle can organize the books and other content you have on it in a file folder system called “Collections,” which if you are unfamiliar with it think of the file structure in the “My Documents” folder on a Windows-based computer: you have your files organized by topic or whatever system you may use. You can do the same with your eBooks. The following is a mixture from the Amazon customer service website as well as my own observations and experiences.
I store all of my titles by genre – mysteries, science fiction, western, etc. – so I can see what is available when I am ready to start a new book. I have over 400 unread books on my Kindle (no, I don’t think I have a problem) and organizing them by genre helps me keep it straight and I can quickly pick one out when I am ready to switch to a new genre. You can use whatever system is easiest for you.
Creating Collections
If you store a lot of content on your Kindle, you can create collections to improve your organization. A collection is a category you can create on your Kindle Home screen: you can then move your books and other reading material from the Home screen to the collections you create and your Kindle will sort your content by collections after you create your first collection. The following is how you can do it on a Kindle Paperwhite, but if you have another e-Ink Kindle the instructions are pretty much the same. I will also point out there are several different ways to do it, and this tutorial is not meant to be the “only” way.
To create a collection:
Select “Create New Collection” from the Home screen menu – you will need to tap the three vertical dots on the top right-hand of your screen to activate the menu, just below the time and battery status icon. Once the menu displays, tap “Create New Collection.” Go ahead, I will wait…
Enter a name for the collection by tapping the blank box once with your finger; tapping the blank box with your finger will display the keyboard where you can type away. Please note the first letter will be capitalized and the subsequent letters will be lowercase. If you want all caps, you will need to press the “up” arrow button (just above “123” on the keyboard display) before each letter. Also, if you want numbers of special characters (like &^#$), you will need to tap the “123” icon.
Tap the “OK” icon when finished.
To rename or delete a collection:
You will need to be on the screen viewing the listing of your books and not the home screen (you will need to be viewing all of your titles by “Collection” and not, for example, by “Title.”
Highlight the collection name by placing your finger on the Collection name and holding it to have a new menu screen pop up.
Select the desired action with the controller by tapping the option with you finger (i.e., “Rename” to change the name).
Follow the on-screen instructions.
Note: Deleting a collection from your Kindle does not change the content stored on your device. Items previously placed into the collection that are stored on your Kindle will appear on the Home screen after the collection is deleted and you are sorting your books by anything other than Collections (i.e., by title or author).
To sort your book content by collection:
Tap the Home icon.
Swipe once from right to left to see the list of titles; alternatively, you can tap the “My Library” link on the top left.
The menu item on the top far right (just under the search icon space) is how you sort your titles: your choices are “Recent, Title, Author, and Collection.” I don’t know what may be displayed on your Kindle, but tap one of those to see the four options.
Select “Collection” from the four options by tapping it with your finger.
Managing Content in Your Collections
After you create one or more collections you wish to use for organizing your Kindle’s content, you’re ready to associate items on your Kindle with those collections. Here are a few handy collection features:
Collections are stored on Amazon: When you create a collection on a device, it will save your collection so it appears in Archived Items on other devices registered to your Amazon.com account. This allows you to transfer collections across registered Kindles.
Books are associated with collections until removed: If you add a book to a collection on your Kindle and then delete the book from your device, it remains associated with that collection in Archive Items. If you download the book again, it will automatically appear in the appropriate collection on your Home screen.
Books can appear in more than one collection: You can associate a single book or other item from your library with multiple collections if you wish. For example, I have a collection for Kindle Unlimited titles I haven’t read yet – it reminds me to get to it – and I also put them in the appropriate genre such as “Mysteries & Thrillers.”
Collections don’t change device or Archive Items content: If you delete a book from a collection or delete an entire collection from your Kindle, it does not change the actual items saved on your Kindle or in your Archive Items on Amazon. When you delete a collection from your Kindle, any downloaded items from that collection will appear the Home screen instead of in the collection. In other words, if you want to delete a specific book, just delete it like you would any other book from your Kindle (although it will still be listed in the cloud in your collection).
To add or remove books from collections items:
Highlight the collection name on the Home screen.
When the new menu item pops up, select “Add/Remove Items”
Select “Add/Remove Items” with the controller.
Highlight and select a title you wish to add or remove. Items currently in the collection will display a check mark to the right of the title. If you have hundreds of books like I do on my Kindle and stored in Amazon’s archives, this method is a pain in the neck! See my alternative method for removing items within a Collection in the “Removing or Reorganizing Content in a Collection” section below.
Select “Done” at the bottom of the screen when you’ve finished editing your collection.
To import a collection from another Kindle:
Go to the “My Library” option and sort your books by “Collection.” All of your collections you have created on other Kindles will be displayed, followed by individual titles that aren’t categorized.
On the top left-hand side of the screen, you have a choice to see “All” of your collections or just the “Downloaded” collections currently on your Kindle. Select the “All” option.
If the collection is on your current Kindle, on the right-hand side of each collection’s name will be a star; if there isn’t a star and you want that collection on your current Kindle, tap and hold the collection’s name and follow the instructions
Note: Importing a collection from another device does not import the books or other items to your Kindle if they aren’t downloaded already. However, books already on your Kindle that are associated with a collection will automatically appear under that collection name on your Home screen. Open up the collection you just imported by tapping it once, and if you are still in the “All” view (remember, from the top left-hand side of the screen) you will see all of the books you have categorized in this collection. Books on your Kindle have a black checkmark on the right-hand side, those that are not but in the cloud do not have this check mark. To download a book from the cloud to your Kindle, just tap the name of the title once (but do not tap and hold!) and it will start the download process if you are connected wirelessly.
Removing or Reorganizing Content in a Collection
Maybe you would like to know how you can change books from one category to another, especially if you accidentally put one book in the wrong place. I’ve done that before a few times. While I am sure there are many ways to do this, here is how I corrected the problem and put the book where I originally intended:
Let’s assume you have 9 categories of collections, and you have one titled “Science Fiction” and another one titled “Westerns;” further assume you put a Science Fiction book in the Westerns category and you want to correct that error and put it in the Science Fiction category.
Press the “Home” icon the select the “My Library” option. Assuming you have your display to sort by collections, you should now see the list of categories you created for your Kindle’s unique collections, including the Science Fiction and Westerns categories.
Open the Westerns category by tapping it one time.
In the Westerns category, you should see the problematic book you wanted to have in the Science Fiction category. Tap and hold your finger on the name of the title which should have a new menu screen with several options available to you such as “Go to” and “Book Description;” my Paperwhite has 8 different selections.
The very first selection should be called “Add to Collection.” Choose this option by tapping it one time.
This next screen should be all of your collections – from here, you can scroll left or right. Scroll to the Science Fiction category, and tap the box on the right-hand side on the Science Fiction line.
If you have followed the instructions so far, the Science Fiction category should now have a checkmark in it, which means it is now included in the Science Fiction category collection.
You will also see a check mark in the box to the right of the category you didn’t want it in – the Western category; tap that box one time to remove the check. This may take a little bit of a delay, depending upon how many books are on your Kindle. Give it a few seconds and it will work!
Your book should now be removed from the Western category and only in the Science Fiction category.
You are finished. Press the “Done” at the bottom and get back to doing what you originally meant to do with your Kindle when you picked it up: read!
As I indicated toward the beginning of this rather lengthy post, this isn’t the only way to do this – I actually use a combination of the above as well as the manage my content and devices section on the Amazon website. Do whatever works for you – but if you have a lot of books I encourage you to make the time investment to get organized now so you can spend more time reading.
Hope that helps!
Michael

Book Description:
As fitness professionals, we want to help you reach your goals, but most importantly, we want to teach you how to keep them for a lifetime. We are not looking for temporary success here. We want fitness to be embedded as a permanent priority no matter what is going on in the world around you. You are so capable of harnessing the power of self-sufficiency and reaping the overflow of rewards.
In the fitness industry today, we are fighting a wicked battle between these two ideas; a quick fix to hit a goal (like giving a man a basket of fish) and long-term success based on knowledge and behavior change, consistently (like teaching a man to fish for himself). We know which man will go hungry. Everyday there are more and more predators popping up who are making millions of dollars, preying upon a person’s deep desire to look and feel better. They are selling weight loss products and performance enhancing products that will, ultimately, only lead to temporary success. Likely, none at all. Promises of fast results with little or no effort can cloud the judgment of even the smartest and most cautious of consumers.
In April of 2014, the Make Fitness a Priority community was established in Overland Park, Kansas with this very goal in mind. We want you to get off the roller coaster ride of temporary success and crashing failure, and we want you to do it among friends with the same goals. There is no prerequisite in your physical abilities, everyone is welcomed. We know all our lives are incredibly unique. Your plan should match your uniqueness. From there, consistency is born and your quality of life skyrockets.
These 30 tips and tricks were created from our Saturday morning Priority Fit Camp, one of our community gatherings. In 2019, we implemented a Trainer Tip to be briefly discussed between circuits, in an effort to make a bigger impact on our community. You may be thinking, “how can one 2-3 minute tip make a big impact?” In the following pages, you will see very clearly that small changes, consistently, is what fuels this long-term success we want so badly for you. If you are a beginner, the amount of information available to you is overwhelming. Doing too much, too fast, will lead to burn out and failure to change.
Take your time to wander slowly through these pages, as it fits in your life. Read one tip per week or per day, as it suits you. Take the time to focus, meditate upon and implement them because, as we said before, small consistent changes will build your path to feeling your best. Find your strength, you were built to not only succeed, but never settle. You were built to Elevate.

A carousel. A body. An inheritance.
Eden’s local café owner, Joyce Breeland, has issued Abby Maguire an ultimatum – the small-town newspaper reporter must find the identity of the Eden Bloggess or be banned from Joyce’s café.

Amazon Account But No Credit Card?
Here’s a question I receive via email from time-to-time (you can always email me: michael at fkbt dot com):
I have been downloading Kindle books for quite a while, always the free ones. In fact my account is so old I don’t have a credit card attached to it anymore, so I couldn’t download a priced book even if I wanted to. I really like the freedom this gives me, in that I don’t have to worry about making a mistake, clicking the button, and getting charged for something I didn’t realize was free.
Here’s the dilemma… there are a couple of books I would like to buy / they are not free. Is there a way to do this without using a credit card? I’m not quite sure how gift cards work. Any ideas?
An Amazon account without a credit card – I’ll bet it’s rare, but it could happen if your initial credit card expired or you got rid of it and never updated your Amazon account; seeing as how the reader above gets her Kindle material for free, I can envision a situation where someone could download the free books, games, music, and apps from the Amazon website and never pay a cent.
That doesn’t answer the question – how to purchase something from Amazon without a credit card? She can’t purchase an Amazon gift card, as it would take a credit card or a draft from an existing checking account to buy it from the Amazon website. While I am sure there are other ways to do this, three ways I can think off the top of my head to get an Amazon gift card without using an existing credit card:
Have someone give you an Amazon gift card.
Turn in your spare change to a Coinstar machine and receive an Amazon gift card in exchange for no fee (click here for my post on instructions on how to do that).
Most major grocery stores and other large retailers have a gift card display, where you can purchase gift cards not only to that store but to the big box retailers and online retailers such as Amazon. You could take cash to one of those stores and purchase an Amazon gift card in varying denominations.
Assuming you tried one of the three methods above, you would then go online to the Amazon store, login to the My Account section, and apply the gift card code (and funds) to your Amazon account – all without having to whip out a credit card.
Can anyone think of another method? If so, please leave a comment in the comment field below.
Hope that helps!
Michael

Soul Thief. Bartender. Bounty Hunter.
When offered a job on the Holy Representative’s special security team, bounty hunter Zyan Star couldn’t be less interested – until she finds out it’s her most hated of exes they’re trying to track down. She’s had over two hundred years to fantasize about revenge. She just didn’t quite imagine it playing out alongside the emissaries of Heaven.
Working with Eli, the uptight angel who heads up the HR’s security, is just about as much fun as Zy expects. He of course wants her ex brought to justice through legal avenues, which is very inconvenient and incredibly boring. As she dives into the case, however, she realizes there’s more at stake than her plot for payback. Like, the free will of mankind, and preventing the minions of hell from taking over the sovereign dimensions.
This job is going to push her to the limits of her abilities, and there’s just a slight problem with that: the powers she’s suppressed for centuries after losing control of them are exactly the powers she’s going to need to save the HR, end her millennia-old ex, and stop Lucifer’s little plot to join the party and invade Earth.
Savior of humanity? Not so much. Or so she thought.

To save his dream, Dylan and his men will have to tie the knot—but can a man with such deep scars inside and out believe in love again?

Dylan yearns to reach out for Maggie’s healing touch, but he keeps his distance, convinced his wounds are too deep for her embrace. Maggie sees past Dylan’s injuries, but if she fails to capture his heart they both could lose it all: her beloved animals, his ranch, and each other.

Levi Yoder is a member of the Mafia and a fixer of people’s problems.
Unfortunately, Levi can’t fix the problem he’s facing.

When he finds that he and the rest of his family are targets of what the CIA claims are elements of the Russian mob, Levi reluctantly agrees to help in whatever way he can.

Hunter Bond always knew he’d take over Bond Retreat on Amore Island, the island established by his ancestors.

Kayla Rivers always said she had multiple clouds over her head. Gray ones. Ominous ones. Very often black ones. When she saw an ad for a job on Amore Island—a place where people supposedly found love at first sight—she should have run in the other direction since she’d never been loved a day in her life.

Plans go awry, and she’s forced into witness protection, guarding a teenage girl who’s the only person able to identify a notorious killer.
To make matters worse, she has to accept the womanizing local FLPD Major as her fictitious fiancé and her backup on the dangerous mission.
Heaven knows, she doesn’t deserve this mess…
Blake Sebastian is tired of his role as lover for the women who hang around him in droves. Problem is – he doesn’t trust any of them with his heart, never mind with his future.
When pushed, he admits to the curly-headed, disapproving FBI agent under his jurisdiction, a man can get sick of so much sugar. Every so often, he needs a little sour to offset that much sweetness.
Charli was not impressed.

Book Description:
Anna Dahlberg grew up eating dinner under her father’s war-trophy portrait of Eva Braun.
Fifty years after the war, she discovers what he never did—that her mother and Hitler’s mistress were friends.
The secret surfaces with a mysterious monogrammed handkerchief, and a man, Hannes Ritter, whose Third Reich family history is entwined with Anna’s.
Plunged into the world of the “ordinary” Munich girl who was her mother’s confidante—and a tyrant’s lover—Anna finds her every belief about right and wrong challenged. With Hannes’s help, she retraces the path of two women who met as teenagers, shared a friendship that spanned the years that Eva Braun was Hitler’s mistress, yet never knew that the men they loved had opposing ambitions.
Eva’s story reveals that she never joined the Nazi party, had Jewish friends, and was credited at the Nuremberg Trials with saving 35,000 Allied lives. As Anna’s journey leads back through the treacherous years in wartime Germany, it uncovers long-buried secrets and unknown reaches of her heart to reveal the enduring power of love in the legacies that always outlast war.

Supernatural meets Mean Girls in this YA horror mystery for older teens.
Sixteen-year-old Anna sees things from another world, the spiritual world, a skill that isn’t exactly useful in high school. It’s bad enough that her mother, possessed by a demon, took her own life when Anna was a child, a loss she remains tortured by. Now her father makes his living “clearing” haunted objects, and Anna’s job as his assistant makes her a social misfit. Most kids in her suburban New Jersey town refer to her just as Goblin Girl
Only Freddy and Dor remain loyal friends. But Anna’s so focused on her own problems, she’s missed that her connection with Freddy is moving beyond the friend zone and that Dor is in crisis.
As junior year approaches, a rare solar storm lights up the night skies and the citizens of Bloomtown begin to act strangely: Anna’s teachers lash out, her best friends withdraw, and the school bullies go from mean to murderous. When Anna realizes she can harness this evil power, she sets out to save Bloomtown and the only family she has left.
But to do so, she must keep her own increasingly dark urges at bay.
