Welcome to Normal, Kentucky, where nothin’ is normal!

Mae West is getting settled into the RV lifestyle as the owner of a campground in Normal, Kentucky. Happy Trails Campground, located in Daniel Boone National Park, has started to attract late summer vacationing families who love to hike, swim, fish, and enjoy being outdoors.

Betts Hager, owner of several small businesses, is swamped with work and desperate for help with her cleaning business. Mae offers her services, happy about the prospect of a little extra cash. Heiress Tammy Jo Bentley’s mansion is the first one on her schedule.

Mae makes sure Tammy Jo’s house is spotless because the Kentucky Kennel Association’s annual meeting is going to be held at the mansion. Fifi, Tammy Jo’s high pedigree, insured poodle, is going to be on display and Tammy Jo will be evaluating potential suitors to sire Fifi’s offspring.

Before the annual meeting, Camille Braun, Fifi’s nanny, is stabbed to death. Everyone knows that Camille would put her life on the line *or* lay down her life for Fifi and, apparently, she did.

Mae tries her best to stay out of it. Tammy Jo begs Mae to help her; after all, she did find the last killer in Normal. Plus, it’s not good for business – or Normal’s revived economy – when a murderer is on the loose.

Mae has grown to love her RV community and now that she’s found a place to call him, she’s not going to let anybody ruin it. Mae throws all of her heart and amateur sleuthing skills into bringing the real killer to justice.

Side Hustling for Working Adults : Our Military’s Secret Yet Shocking Countermovement that the Chain of Command Doesn’t Want You to Know Aboutby Brian M. Delrosario

Side Hustling for Working Adults takes a humorous exploration of the frustrations of active duty military life. It doesn’t capture the heroism of the rare few who make it to Hollywood. It instead shares the story of the nameless, faceless masses, struggling with alcoholism, car problems, divorce, money problems, parenting, suicide, and women. The book illustrates the small ways, on the job, in which we take back time for ourselves. And finally, how our search for fulfillment, for meaning, journeys beyond the job.

For some, while still appreciating and respecting all that service has provided, the journey now points to a new chapter. Namely, a side hustle. To break one’s dependence on the day job. But even that becomes a fight. So how do we manage? Work, family, sleep, self-care. How do we make the most of what’s left? Or do we just surrender? Settle for less? Some of us have already succeeded past that. And there’s no need to struggle alone or to recreate the wheel.
