First of all, the based book sale is going on still, and I’m in it with A Few Good Men.
Second, this is on the rolling sale, starting today:
Dipped, Stripped and Dead (Daring Finds Book 1)

DEAD MAN’S REFINISH
Some people find antiques. Dyce Dare finds trouble.
Ever tried fishing a Victorian sideboard out of a dumpster only to hook a dead body instead? Welcome to Dyce Dare’s life, where nothing goes according to plan—and never has.
At six, she wanted to be a ballerina (until gravity repeatedly suggested otherwise). At ten, she dreamed of lion taming (until Fluffy the cat staged a mutiny). Now at twenty-nine, she’s just trying to keep her furniture refinishing business afloat so she can upgrade her son’s diet from “pancakes” to “anything else, please.”
But when her latest dumpster dive yields a half-melted corpse instead of salvageable furniture, Dyce reluctantly adds “amateur detective” to her lengthy resume of career failures. Because nothing says “responsible single mom” like poking around a murder investigation, right?
Between dodging danger, dealing with her quirky neighbors, and trying not to embarrass herself in front of a certain handsome police officer, Dyce is about to discover that her talent for refinishing furniture might just extend to refinishing crime scenes.
Dipped Stripped And Dead – Sometimes the best way to clean up your life is to solve a murder.
(Warning: May contain splinters, sarcasm, and one very determined single mom who definitely didn’t plan on any of this.)
But but… I have it already!!!!!!! [Crazy Grin]

WELL, the next two are almost ready. one thing I’v e found is that I can’t write when I’m having allergy flares. So treatment should help.

$SPOUSE has been quietly waiting for more Dyce Dare. I’m pretty fond of them, too.
Yay for allergy treatment!

I can just imagine Dyce Dare’s son, after being served pancakes yet again, saying “Please, Mother, may I have some gruel? In Oliver Twist, Oliver liked it so much that he asked for some more.”

He’s loosely based on my boys and older decided Dickens was his favorite at 5. Fortunately he grew out of it. ;)

I like that story. It was whacky, and just plausible enough to keep me grinning (and occasionally chuckling) and flipping the screen until I finished. Worth the price of the beer as RAH would say.

I don’t drink beer, myself. These days, it’s a biannual whiskey sour.
But that just gives me a bit more money for my addiction…

Off topic, but kind of on-topic for Based, Danielle Smith gave a speech today. Just thought y’all would want to know. She sounds like she gets her talking points at According to Hoyt and Small Dead Animals.
