◆"Delicious humour mixed with a delightful tale. I loved it★★★★★"It's not that single mum Charlotte Newman is completely and utterly obsessed with crafting, necessarily.
Sure, she has balls of wool stashed everywhere like a squirrel stores nuts and more needles than a tattoo parlour. But that doesn't mean she has a problem, right?
Finding herself between jobs, Charlotte fills her time teaching crafting skills at the local nursing home. Encouraged by how positively the residents respond, the possibility of a career doing what she adores fills her mind.
The first step towards that ambition is creating a crafting hub for the community – The Crafternoon Sewcial Club.
When a local charity announces a major knitting-themed fundraiser, Charlotte sees the ideal stage to put her new club firmly on the crafting map and drum up new members in the process.
Unfortunately, not everybody is on board with her vision for a crafting club, as it turns out. Indeed, some are even hoping to see Charlotte's dream come crashing down around her.
Still, she won't let a minor issue like that derail her plans…
To ensure victory, then, she'll need to rally her new members and ask her friends from the nursing home to get those needles clicking faster than a hummingbird's wings!
If you adore crafting, knitting, sewing, crochet while drinking tea with friends, you'll love this book!

Shooting Elvis

Robert M. Eversz

Thelma & Louise meet Pulp Fiction in this pop-noir thriller.  Shooting Elvis is a highly charged, action-packed thriller about a California good girl gone bad. Cute, blond Mary Alice Baker delivers a briefcase to a stranger at LAX for her Harley-riding boyfriend. When it explodes and levels a terminal, Mary becomes an instant terrorist and quickly transforms herself into Nina Zero—punk fugitive, thief, private eye, and new darling of the shock-hungry media. Her quest to discover what all the cash and blood are about drive this fiercely intense narrative to its explosive ending.   “An often funny, often violent, ripping roller-coaster ride laced with black humor, acid wit, and dead-on observations about life, fame and fortune in the late 1990s.” —Scientific American   “Whip smart . . . Best described as punk noir, it takes the sardonic bite of Raymond Chandler and sets it to the mosh-pit madness of Green Day. An exciting and daringly original book.” —The Boston Globe
