Winter is full on here, folks. It’s all my fault. I said I wanted to move before the snow flies, visualizing weeks down the road. This is not working out well for me.
Not that I’ve decided on a new place to live yet either. Procrastination is the name of the game. If I could pick up this house and move it to the new city, maybe that would help. Or not.
I can’t visualize what life will look like for me in the new location. It’s not easy to be excited when the road ahead is non existent. Or maybe it’s just the idea of the road ahead looking like the same-old, same-old in a new location that’s the problem.
It’s a good thing I’m on here now because there are new books. I need a steady supply to keep me sane in these uncertain days.
On the flip side, I’m always up for a move. My kids tell me it’s the Attention deficit disorder kicking in. Eleven years is a long time to stay in one place (in my mind, anyway.) It’s time for a new adventure. I’ll let you know how that goes.

So, it was exciting this morning to see two of the series I/we have been reading lately have come out with new installments. It’s a good day after all. The first one is from one of my top five favorite authors.
Roulette: A Thriller
Don’t trip. It could cost your life…
They call it Roulette because there’s no way of knowing what kind of ecstasy awaits. A rollercoaster ride through any one of seven heavens—or straight to hell.
A new and dangerous substance has suddenly appeared at the rave scene of Gainesville, Florida. When former special agent Eric Bannon comes to investigate, the local sheriff doesn’t know whether to be relieved someone is finally taking the rave issue seriously, or disturbed about who has answered the call. The inquiry must be kept quiet. But why are senior government officials turning a blind eye to such a dangerous drug?
As the county hospital’s senior ER nurse, Carol Steen has seen her share of small-town trouble. Her greatest concern is the snobbish new doctor. Stacie Swann is everything Carol detests: fresh out of med school, too many years her junior, drop-dead gorgeous—and with a bad attitude. Why did Stacie, an upcoming surgical star, leave her prestigious residency at the University of Florida medical center and take up station in their remote clinic?
To Stacie, the nosey nurse is only a bitter reminder of what the medical establishment took from her, landing her in Middle of Nowhere, Florida. But when the night’s emergencies are rushed in, the two ladies begin to bond over a common challenge.
What appears to be a simple case of overdose turns into an ER nightmare. Patients seem to be suffering symptoms from multiple drugs. None are detectable.
Eric arrives at the clinic in time to witness the victims’ transformation from near-coma to bestial strength and ferocity. Eric and the ladies track the drug’s origin to clandestine operations based within the university student body. These young people both finance the production and facilitate the human trials of the world’s most exciting new high.
Roulette makes you feel like your best self, times ten. Because it’s no longer the old you.
Carol and Stacie’s patients belong to the 1% of consumers exposed to Roulette’s true purpose, a purpose so heinous it will rewrite not just history, but the human genome.
As opposition mounts from within his own government, Eric must face off with experimental science and the question: In the battle to control the future of humanity, do they really want to fight fire with fire?

While browsing Thomas Locke I came across a book in my collection that I haven’t read in years. It is Fantasy. There is a full book in the collection and then The Captive, a shorter book of excerpts from said book. I won’t do more than show the covers due to space but check them out if you love fantasy.
******************
On to the next new book. We’ve read the prequel in this series now we have the second book which is referred to as book 1.
Bait (Denver FBI Book 1)
FBI Special Agent Caisey Lyons is going undercover. To get abducted. But when the killer evades capture, an injured Caisey takes some much needed time off. In the small town of Buckshot, CO, she runs straight into a homicidal sheriff…and an old flame. Gabe Carlen has been hiding from his uncle for seventeen years. Caisey might be the one woman he’s never forgotten, but she’s also brought his uncle right to his doorstep—and revenge is sure to follow.
While the Chloroform Killer’s obsession for Caisey grows, she must repair the rift in her family and figure out if a future with Gabe is possible. Only by trusting God with their safety can she let go long enough to save herself.

Between new books and old books, we have lots of reading material to keep our minds off those negative thoughts that keep bringing us down. Besides it’s too nice a day to be down, the sunshine is pretty on the white snow.
