Lydia 

The Mythik Wars - Book Two

by B. D. Messick

A long time ago, I asked someone who loved me why they were helping save us when so many humans hate us, hunt us and kill us for just being. She said everyone has a right to live, and that there is beauty in everything around us, even if we can’t see it.

Years later, someone I loved asked me why I was helping to save the humans when they do such terrible things to us. When they hate us, hunt us and kill us for just being. I told her that we needed to be more humane than they are, and that where there’s hate, there can be love. Where there’s evil, there is always good.

But after all these years, after so much pain and loss, I’m not so sure there is any saving them…or the rest of us.

The world as we know it is at a turning point. There’s a storm coming and I’m not sure any of us will survive it, but I will do everything I can so that everything that I’ve lost will not have been in vain.

Join Lydia as she treks across the devastated former United States to find Zach and Melody, but more importantly, the one person that Cain Blackthorne thinks can help save the world; their daughter Lyra.

The Greening of the Laurel

by Kate Riley

On the 16th of March, 1244, 220 Cathars descended the mountain fortress of Montsegur, voluntarily walking into a burning pyre. Legend has it that four believers escaped the night before with the Cathar treasure, containing valuable books, documents and the Holy Grail. The hunt to eradicate the Cathars continued for decades after.

The year is now 1940, France has been invaded by Germany, and in the Languedoc countryside, 16-year old Meli Durand, has strange dreams demanding that she remember who she is. Mysterious things begin to happen to her and as she tries to unravel the mystery, her grandmother Isabel clings tightly to the family myth and secrets too dangerous to reveal.

As the war unfolds, Nazi Lieutenant Colonel Wolfgang Koch has been assigned the task of finding the fabled treasure by occult-obsessed Himmler, who is determined to present the Grail to Adolf Hitler. Failure is not an option.

In the 13th Century, an anonymous troubadour wrote a prophecy that is well known in the Languedoc. "At the end of seven-hundred years, the laurel will be green once more."

Against the backdrop of a world at war, and with the 700th anniversary rapidly approaching, Meli will need to understand her own role in a family legacy, that one person will do anything to hide and another will do anything to find

Two Faces of the Jaguar

 by George Dismukes

Many secrets are hidden within the darkness of the jungle. Behold this one about a man, a woman, a black jaguar, and an ancient Mayan legend.

When Andrea Granger was assigned to go to Honduras, ‘get inside and gather evidence’ against the DEA’s main suspect, she was determined to accomplish her mission with the same efficiency as in her previous assignments. But that was before she met her culprit, Brandon Shaw.

He melted her heart and her resolve, and so did Naja, Brandon’s 300 pound black jaguar and closest companion. She quickly discovered there was much more to Brandon Shaw than met the eye, and just as quickly, she found her mission in jeopardy. Instead of arresting him, she became determined to rescue the flawed man of the jungle. But could she successfully extricate him from the web he had tangled himself in?

As if that weren’t enough, she found that Brandon Shaw was somehow connected to a thousand year old Mayan legend which threatened to destroy everything. Unprepared, she found herself having to deal with an ancient spirit determined to kill her.

My Goan style, egg chops.

In Goa, egg chops are usually bite sized and served as an appetizer or as a mid-afternoon, snack. However, I make them larger and serve them as a main meal, with veg rice and salad. Also great for picnics.

You will need:

4 large hard boiled eggs peeled      4 large potatoes peeled and cubed   salt   

Knob of butter     2Tbsp Fresh, chopped coriander    1 tsp ground cumin     

2 tsp ground coriander      ½ tsp paprika     ½ tsp chilli powder (Or to taste)    

 ½ tsp garam masala       salt and pepper      1 egg beaten       fine breadcrumbs   

 Oil for deep frying

1.       Boil the potatoes in salted water, until softened. Drain, and place in a bowl with a knob of butter and mash until smooth.

2.       Mix in the coriander, spices and salt and pepper. Set aside to cool.

3.       When cool enough to handle, take a small amount of the potato mixture and squeeze around the boiled egg. You need a nice thick covering. When all eggs covered, put into the fridge to chill for a short while.

4.       When ready to eat, heat up the oil for deep frying, while this is getting to temperature, tip some breadcrumbs onto a plate. Take one egg ball and dip it carefully into the beaten egg. Roll it in the bread crumbs and repeat again. Keep on a clean plate while you do the other 3 eggs.

5.       Take one egg, place it on a metal slotted spoon and carefully drop into the hot oil. I usually only fry 2 at a time.  Fry until they are golden brown. Drain and then serve.

Festival of Felonies

A Collection of Sam Jenkins Mysteries

by Wayne Zurl

This story collection includes the veteran cop's humorous mysteries:

Have You Considered Voodoo?

New York Detective Sam Jenkins is handed a bizarre case that develops into the serial killing of animals. It doesn’t take long to find a prime suspect; he’s a juvenile headed to no good end, but the system doesn’t make life easy for our tenacious squad dick.

Reenacting a Murder

When local antique dealer, G. Nobel Whitehead, is savagely killed at a historical reenactment, Police Chief Sam Jenkins wades through a cadre of quirky local characters to learn how the victim’s shady dealings led to his demise.

Paper Trail

A lone, mentally disturbed young gunman murdered his mother, two adults, and six small children at the elementary school in Prospect, Tennessee before ending his own life.

The man carried three guns; one pistol had been legally purchased by his mother for her protection. The origins of the other pistol and the fully automatic Russian assault rifle were anyone’s guess.

After Police Chief Sam Jenkins conducts an investigation to track down the past ownership of those guns, he confirms a few suspicions and uncovers more interesting facts.

The Fergusson Shooting

Jamal Fergusson’s mistake costs him his life and forever changes Police Officer Billy Puckett’s.

On a cool, damp evening in Prospect, Tennessee, seventeen-year-old Jamal tries to buy beer from a convenience store. When asked for ID, the boy decides to steal the beer and assaults a store employee.

All this was witnessed by Officer Puckett who attempts to arrest Jamal for robbery. Only the big teenager has other ideas. While resisting arrest, Fergusson violently attacks Puckett and tries to take his handgun.

Moments later, unarmed Jamal Fergusson lies dead in the parking lot.

The next day, the community expresses their outrage and a famous activist descends on East Tennessee, declaring that he will help the Fergusson family seek justice for their murdered son.

Not much stands between the angry citizens and Puckett except Police Chief Sam Jenkins.

A Fire and Old Ice

Prospect, Tennessee’s mayor, Ronnie Shields, walks into Sam Jenkins’ office with his hat in his hand. Ronnie’s wife wants to sponsor a benefit fashion show to raise money for an animal shelter. They need the chief for two things: Convince his friend, TV reporter, Rachel Williamson, to emcee the show and find amateur models to wear the outfits.

The show begins perfectly, until someone sets fire to the spring collection of a flamboyant Knoxville designer named Mr. Alex.

Jenkins’ arson investigation puts him up against a trio of redneck troublemakers and takes him back seventy years to Europe and a closely guarded family secret.

Think of this one as an episode of NYPD BLUE written by Woody Allen.

Review of Saltwater Terrace, Arambol Beach, Goa

Sat at our table, to one side we had the Arabian Sea and the twinkling lights of Arambol. To the other the industrial rustic, style ambience of Saltwater Terrace. We could have been in any Gastro pub or trendy European coastal restaurant and bar.

The menu offers a good selection of Indian, Goan and continental choices.

Mr R, opted for the Honey BBQ sauce pulled pork burger. INR360/£3:89

A delicious good size homemade burger, served in a toasted bun, loaded with lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber, topped with a yummy sticky, honey BBQ sauce. If that was not enough to satisfy your appetite, you then had a good portions of Chucky chips, homemade onion rings, coleslaw and a dish of spicy salsa to get through.

5/5 red hot chillies

I chose the spaghetti and meatballs INR 300/£3:24

Were they like mama or I make? Oh, si,si,si!

As soon as the bowl hit the table, we could smell the parmesan cheese in all its glory. I just couldn't wait to dig in. Packed with homemade pork meatballs smothered in a delicious, spinach, mushroom, tomato and basil sauce, I was in pasta heaven.

5/5 red hot chillies

Even with the live music, the staff kept the drinkers happy while feeding the diners with an eased confidence, pleasant and helpful.

What an amazing night. If you love good food and live music Saltwater Terrace is the place to be. It’s a fact. Good food is even better with a side order of atmosphere.

*I was given two complementary main meals in return for an unbiased review.*

Review of - Wait & Patience Album By Spencer Maybe

On a recent visit to Arambol, Mr R and I were captivated by musician Spencer Maybe, a rock, blues and country-swing artist. Loving his music so much we sort him out for a second time, only to be given a free copy his latest album- Wait & Patience for an unbiased review.

So what did I think of Wait & Patience?

Well, the album was first-rate. All the genres of music I love; a little bit country, blues, country folk and soft rock. 

Spencer has an amazing talent of not just writing songs, but is story teller. Yes, I know every song is a story, nevertheless story writing and song writing can be very different. Myself as an author, I would not know where to start, writing a song.  Spencer, on the other hand has the skill to take you on a magical journey, by telling you the events that are happening and the chorus is the emotional reaction those events.

Songs I Really Loved:

Silence is Golden /Mirabella / Monday Morning / Have you seen her
