Holiday reads, beach reads, and great mysteries

Hi
It's been a lovely summer day here in Australia. My son was home today, as it is a national holiday, so we started the day with buttermilk pancakes. Neither of us is heavily into carbs, but sometimes they fill the spot.
I filled in the rest of the day in writing a short story. I'll be submitting it to a competition, and had a reasonable idea of what I would write, although I never fully know until the words are on paper. I'll review it in the morning, checking for those typos that creep in and then submit it.
I needed a break late afternoon and wandered down the street towards the beach. Although many people will have returned to work after Christmas, this area still has a strong holiday vibe. The queues outside the fish and chip shops were long, and the ice cream shop was doing a roaring trade. Generally, it was a feeling that life is good.

Crestone Awakens
by Lucy Marsh
Opulence.
It surrounded her. She’d mastered the role of a spoiled society princess, and she’d never felt so empty. Yet Grier Ponce refused to continue to live as her status dictated. It was time to make a change and help those that her rich father had left in poverty.
His life had been an unending blur of pain and fighting. The military had altered his DNA and made him into something… different. He’d become the peacekeeper in his city, and he didn’t need a blonde bundle of trouble coming in and shaking things up.
Secrets are often secrets for a reason, and sometimes the unlikeliest of pairs might find something they didn’t know they needed. Download here.

Fiendish Fury
by Margo Bond Collins
Meet Tessa Fury: accidental bounty hunter of all things supernatural, dangerous, and outside the law.
Twelve years ago, the supernatural world revealed itself to the rest of us. Vampires, werewolves, fairies—all real.
Twelve hours ago, I accidentally took a job as a supernatural bounty hunter, tracking down the worst of the things that go bump in the night.
And twelve minutes ago, I’m pretty sure I died.
I had absolutely zero plans to become a monster hunter.
I got okey-doked into it. You know—those times when a friend is outlining a plan for the day and you’re just going along with it like an idiot, saying yes to everything…right up to the moment you realize you’ve just said “okey-doke” to going after a feral werewolf with nothing but a butcher knife and a Tootsie Pop in your pocket.
If I survive this werewolf hunt, I’m changing jobs.
Maybe.
It just pays so damn much…
If I catch the bad guys.
And assuming I live through the night. Learn More.
