But she finds solace in a local “crop circle” of scrapbookers united by chore-shy husbands, demanding children, and occasional fantasies of their former single lives. And when the quiet idyll of their small town is shattered by a young mother’s suicide, they band together to find out what went wrong. . .Annie resurrects her reporting skills and discovers that Maggie Rae was a closet scrapbooker who left behind more than a few secrets–and perhaps a few enemies.

*************************
ix months ago, museum curator Deborah Miller had never heard of Ek Balam, an obscure Mayan archaeological site known for its carved figures. Now here she is, having traded Atlanta’s urban jungle for a remote village in Mexico’s Yucatan, tasked with overseeing Ek Balam’s excavation. But when a sudden rainstorm causes a partial collapse at the site, an unexpected treasure is unearthed: a collection of rough-cut rubies hidden from the world for hundreds of years–and very out-of-place in the Yucatan. It is a find of immeasurable value, one that Deborah vows to protect–and yet is powerless to prevent from being stolen soon after its discovery. Determined to retrieve the stones, she sets out to trace their complex history across four centuries and two continents, from Mexico to northern England where the jewels once played a harrowing role in the Lancashire witch trials of 1612. But Deborah is not the only one searching for the stones; close on her heels are archaeologists, occultists, and one very determined arms dealer, all of whom will stop at nothing, not even murder, to claim the prize for themselves.

*************************
t starts with a thunderous crack and a flash of light. Screams come next. Then the hunters. With a staccato flicker, the light disappears and everything within a hundred yard radius goes with it. A massive crater is all that remains where a chunk of the world has gone missing.
As the deadly phenomenon repeats and expands amidst the world’s most densely populated cities–carving apartment buildings in half, scooping away entire city blocks, and claiming thousands of lives–Jack Sigler, Callsign: King and his black ops team take action. But the team is broken, spread across the globe and vulnerable. Scrambling to make sense of the violent disappearances and fighting to reunite, the team comes face-to-face with an otherworldly enemy capable of making the fearless…terrified.
Taking the battle to the ends of the Earth–and beyond–the team combats a savage enemy whose centuries-old plan for mankind has nearly reached fruition. If they fail, the planet will become little more than a fully stocked food cache for a creature whose presence heralds the beginning of Ragnarök–and the extinction of the human race.
PRAISE FOR ROBINSON and the JACK SIGLER THRILLERS
“Robinson blends myth, science and terminal velocity action like no one else.”
– Scott Sigler, NY Times Bestselling author of INFECTED and ANSCESTOR
“Just when you think that 21st-century authors have come up with every possible way of destroying the world, along comes Jeremy Robinson.”
– New Hampshire Magazine

–Jeff Long, NY Times bestselling author of THE DESCENT

–David Lynn Golemon, NY Times bestselling author of LEGEND and EVENT
“Jeremy Robinson is an original and exciting voice.”

“With THRESHOLD, Jeremy Robinson goes pedal to the metal into very dark territory. Fast-paced, action packed and wonderfully creepy! Highly recommended!”
–Jonathan Maberry, NY Times bestselling author of ROT & RUIN
” [SecondWorld] is gripping, propelled by expertly controlled pacing and lively characters. Robinson’s punchy prose style will appeal to fans of Matthew Reilly’s fast-paced, bigger-than-life thrillers, but this is in no way a knockoff. It’s a fresh and satisfying thriller that should bring its author plenty of new fans.”
– Booklist
“A brisk thriller with neatly timed action sequences, snappy dialogue and the ultimate sympathetic figure in a badly burned little girl with a fighting spirit… The Nazis are determined to have the last gruesome laugh in this efficient doomsday thriller.”
– Kirkus Reviews
” Relentless pacing and numerous plot twists drive this compelling stand-alone from Robinson… Thriller fans and apocalyptic fiction aficionados alike will find this audaciously plotted novel enormously satisfying.”
–Publisher’s Weekly

Genre(s): Kindle Fire Cover, Kindle Fire Accessory
tand It, Store It & Go This case sports a simple and classy design made from synthetic leather, and the interior is lined with non-scratch material so you don’t need to worry about any damages. Simply insert your Kindle Fire in the open pocket and secure it in place with the velcro flap. There is also a magnetic strip built inside for a secure closure. Because the cover is uniquely designed to flip back and transform the case into a comfortable viewing stand, this capability allows the viewer to use the Kindle Fire hands-free whatever your position may be without strain. All features of the Kindle Fire are accessible even with the case on.
Dear customer, There are two types of kindle fire HD cases in the market: One type with the camera opening on the left side of the case, and the other with the camera opening on the right side. You will find a lot of brand cases in either one of these two categories. The way our slim fit leather case series works is that you need to have the camera on the right side when you insert your tablet into the case. By doing that your camera will be on the top when you transform the case into a horizontal viewing stand. Please remember the power & volume buttons and earphone jack should be on the bottom for this type of the case, not on the top. One thing also VERY important is that you need to unlock the kindle fire so it will rotate freely. Once you follow the instruction, you should be able to open our case just like book (right to left, not left to right).

Ultimate Alabama 20 # 1 Hits by Alabama
Genre(s): Country
From an Amazon Top Reviewer:
or casual country fans, “Ultimate Alabama” is a great starter. It features twenty number ones, though they had plenty more. I’ll agree with another reviewer that the definitive hits package by Alabama is their double disc set, but for those of us who may not be able to or do not want to plunk down a nice hunk of change for the double set, this one will suffice. Also, if you aren’t a huge fan of Alabama, but want something representative of their work in your collection, I highly recommend this disc.
It’s Alabama, so just about anything they put on a disc will sound great. Personal highlights of this album include “If You’re Gonna Play In Texas,” “Jukebox In My Mind,” and “Roll On.” Everything else contained here is great.
Once again, this is an excellent introduction for the casual country fan, but hardcore Alabama fans probably already have everything on this disc.
Highly recommended.
