Colin Gets Promoted and Dooms the World, by Mark Waddell (REVIEW) -- Making Deals with a Devil...

The job market is TOUGH. So what’s a recent college grad to do, armed with a shiny degree in whatever, saddled with a mountain of debt... and finding few—if any—job prospects?   Go to work for a secretive multinational corporation dealing in “problem-solving”... essentially, a “fixer” for issues no one dares talk about, outside of hushed boardrooms?    You bet.   And then one day, make a deal with what may be an  actual  agent of Hell... all for the sake of a promotion?   I mean, sure, that's a plan.   Of course, such deals never come without a few strings... as one young man quickly discovers in Mark Waddell’s darkly-satirical take on climbing the corporate ladder,  Colin Gets Promoted and Dooms the World .     After several years of feeling like the lowest man on the totem pole in Dark Enterprises’ Human Resources department, earnest, cardigan-clad Colin receives the dreaded notice: he has one week to fix his latest screw-up, or f...

Shadow Play, by Sara Driscoll (REVIEW) -- The Monsters Come Out to Play Online

By now—a quarter of the way through the 21 st  century—we probably couldn’t survive without the internet.   We use it for shopping. Keeping up with friends and family. Work. Job hunting. Looking for love. And finding answers to every  “How do I fix this?”  or  “What do I do now?”  question that pops into our heads.   But it isn’t  just  a shopping mall/phone-and-snail-mail alternative/meeting place/encyclopedia.   Because while it  does  draw us together, it also allows for anonymity... a murky, shadowy space where con artists, conspiracy theorists, and bullies converge.   And sometimes, where maniacs come out to play.   Thriller author Sara Driscoll’s latest,  Shadow Play , looks at the downside of online.     When physical therapist Krista agrees to be part of a weekly, live-streaming show offering relationship and life advice with her best friend, Hailey, it sounds like a fun hobby.   After all,...

The Marigold Cottages Murder Collective, by Jo Nichols (REVIEW) -- Only Murders in the Courtyard

If you dug out your blender... threw in a whole bunch of  Only Murders in the Building ... added a soupçon of  Friends. .. a jigger or so of  Cheers ... and a hearty dash of Mrs. Roper (from  Three’s Company )... well, you might end up with something much like the delightful tipple that is Jo Nichols’ mystery novel,  The Marigold Cottages Murder Collective .   And if you did? Oh my, how sweet it would taste, going down...     The elderly, caftan-wearing “Mrs. B” is the proud owner and landlady of a grouping of seven quaint cottages (one of which being her own domicile), in beautiful Santa Barbara, California. The cottages are a blast from the past—tiny, grouped intimately around a miniature courtyard—and constantly fighting off “progress”, in the form of fancy new multi-occupant buildings (the likes of which encroach upon all sides).    Being just a short walk from the Pacific Ocean, though, means these little homes are veritable go...
