Mystery Novel: Domino Theory
My latest novel, Domino Theory, was e-published yesterday on Smashwords. Domino Theory is a hard-boiled mystery that takes place in Los Angeles. For $2.99 you can download it to your computer, Nook, Kindle, or other e-reader. Here’s the summary:
Danny McCabe wakes up next to a dead man. Danny may be an addict, but he’s pretty sure he’s not a murderer. Now the police and two hit men are searching for him. Did he really do it, or has he been framed?
Struggling to break free of his addiction, Danny knows he’ll need a clear head to stay alive and find answers. But staying clean isn’t easy, and the woman who’s helping him may not be what she seems.
As more drug dealers die, and evidence found at the crime scenes implicate Danny, he realizes that he can’t trust anyone to help him navigate this world of drugs and violence – not even himself.
New Kittens
Max (left) is about three weeks old and still on milk replacer. He’s named after that great Roman general, Maxi-mouse. Sid (right) is 8-9 weeks old and very adventurous. She’s also vicious when she plays (hence her name). They were rescued from different places – Max was abandoned by a feral mom, Sid came from a home that couldn’t keep her. But over the past week they have bonded, and are now like brother and sister.
Kids & Kids
Our production manager’s son, Ethan, plays on the teeter totter with one of the new babies. Kids love kids!
Hey, where’d the Cheese Store go?
After much consideration, we’ve decided not to continue our on-line cheese store. The reason is simple: it costs too much for packaging, and we’re losing money.
Consider: We haven’t been able to find styrofoam shipping boxes for less than $9 each. Plus there’s gel packs to keep it cold, labels, etc. We charge our customers the actual cost of shipping, which is generally about $12. But would you pay $23 shipping and handling? Probably not.
Instead, we’ll focus on what we know, love, and believe in: local cheese for our local communities.
If you want cheese shipped from us, call or email us. If we can get it to you in 2 days or less by UPS Ground, we’ll try to work something out.
