I can’t keep a secret to save my life. It’s not who I am. When I meet people for the first time, before I even tell them my name, I let them know not to tell me anything they don’t want everyone in the world to know. Now mind you there are things I do not tell out of respect for privacy and business. Those don’t count because those aren’t fun secrets. Now if you drank too much one night and bought a Ford Pinto and really don’t want anyone to know about that you were seduced into buying a Ford Pinto… TOO BAD! For me, it feels great to tell a secret, and I don’t resist the urge. It hurts to, and right now I am hurting. I have a good secret, but for the sake of my friendship with my partner in crime I have to keep it. I really want to talk to her about the movie Infinity Wars, (I never said it was a scandalous secret) but I can’t because it would spoil the movie for her. Worse still, she hasn’t seen The Black Panther yet, so I can’t even talk to her about that one either. I spoiled Wonder Woman for her, so I am working hard not to do that again, but I am getting a horrible case of heartburn. I am giving her a week. If she doesn’t see both movies by then, secrets will be leaked!! I am only human. GOSH!!
Night Watchman (The Tubby Dubonnet Series Book 8)

Genre: Mystery, Thriller & Suspense | Thrillers | Mystery
FREE for a limited time
SOME MEAN-ASS CHICKENS COME HOME TO ROOST in this EIGHTH entry in the Tubby Dubonnet series.
The laid-back New Orleans lawyer finds himself caught in a twisted trip down memory lane, distracted by a luscious new love, and, as usual, surrounded by screwball denizens of everybody’s favorite city. But he’s also caught in someone’s crosshairs, and so are half the cast of crazies and screwballs. Which makes for a delicious mix of danger and humor (with a dash of romance!), best consumed with a tall cold one and a bag of Zapp’s Spicy Cajun Crawtators .
When in the 1970s a young war protester is killed in broad daylight on Canal Street, it appears that his murder will be forgotten, a back page story lost in the big news of an especially violent era. But a youthful Tubby chanced to see it happen, and the tragic event’s haunted him throughout his life. Decades later, an established (but not exactly driven) lawyer, yet successful enough to have time on his hands, Tubby decides to conduct his own investigation into the forgotten crime. He quickly stirs up a hornets’ nest of far-reaching political feuds, police corruption, government agents, and old men with secrets to hide.
But as in all Tubby Dubonnet novels, the plot takes a backseat to local color, colorful characters, odes to fine food, wry observations, and a whole lot of humor. It’s a little like spending a weekend in da Big Easy, dawlin’–complete with three well-chosen meals a day!

An epic saga of adventure and grit on the edge of the western frontier, Orphan Moon demonstrates the power of a courageous human spirit in the face of tragedy, loss, and the struggle to survive.
1860 – Palo Pinto, Texas. Under the spectacular glow of a Comanche moon, a family is slaughtered, their homestead torched. Nineteen-year-old Barleigh Flanders survives the terrifying midnight raid.

Along her journey, she encounters a mysterious stranger. In Hughes Levesque, Barleigh gains an unsought ally with dark secrets of his own. A Texas Ranger turned hired gun, Hughes makes it his personal mission to keep Barleigh safe. Doing so may cost him his life, his job, and his heart, none of which he’s keen to lose.
