Jack Davis suffers from tics. Not any regular variety tic. Jack gets body racking, bent over, shaking tics. That’s a negative for a FBI agent. Not surprising, Jack is a former FBI agent. He is still a top-notch investigator and his skills are still valued by some. In The Dead Man

months ago I’d never heard of kombucha. Now it’s a regular part of my diet. Kombucha is a fermented tea that, by all accounts, is a very healthy beverage. I just find it really refreshing and since I gave up sodas and artificial sweeteners, kombucha helps fill that void that water cannot accomplish. My son got me started with a “daughter” of his SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast) and a bit of his starter liquid shipped via the UPSP in multiple bags. I started brewing in a one gallon jug and soon found that I was always running out so I now have two alternately going. I brew mine for about 10 days, bottle/flavor and have secondary ferment for 4-5 days. I love experimenting with flavors so enter…
“Six years. That was how long it had been since Myron had played superhero. In six years he hadn’t thrown a punch. He hadn’t held, much less fired, a gun. He hadn’t threatened or been threatened. He hadn’t cracked wise with steroid-inflated pituitary glands. He hadn’t called Win, still the scariest man he knew, to back him up or get him out of trouble. In the past six years, none of his clients had been murdered – a real positive in his business. None had been shot or wounded – well, except for that prostitution beef out in Las Vegas, but Myron still claimed that was entrapment. None of his clients or friends or loved ones had gone missing…”

“The more I’d learned about Halliday’s life, the more I’d grown to idolize him. He was a god among geeks, a nerd über-deity on the level of Gygax, Garriott, and Gates. He’d left home after high school with nothing but his wits and his imagination, and he’d used them to attain worldwide fame and amass a vast fortune. He’d created an entirely new reality that now provided an escape for most of humanity. And to top it all off, he’d turned his last will and testament into the greatest videogame contest of all time.”
The Grinch: The Grinch lives in seclusion overlooking the happy town of Whoville. He scorns those beneath him and wants to steal away their spirit and plots a way to take their Christmas Spirit. Aided by his pet dog, Max, he pretends to be Santa Claus and breaks into the Whoville homes to steal their decorations and gifts. Astonished by their resilient spirit the Grinch has a change of heart and returns the gifts and joins the celebration.

 F My Life: It’s Funny, It’s True, Except When It Happens to You
I can relate to F My Life. Heck we all have done really stupid things. I have a list that I’ve compiled over the past few years of the really dumb things that I have done. Sadly, it is not that short of a list. The authors have compiled some of their favorite that had been posted on their website of the same name. If you need a laugh or a cringe this book is for you. I loved it. My only critique is that it was too short. Here are some of my favorites;
Author Daniel Silva’s protagonist, Gabriel Allon, is back in the thick of fighting terror. Allown is now the “chief” of “the Office” in Israeli intelligence. Though no longer a field agent, Allon often finds himself in the line of fire. He still seeks revenge on an elusive and dangerous terrorist, Saladin. Allon believes that he caught a glimpse of him when America was attacked a few months prior. Allon and his team enter the glamorous world of the very rich, especially when those rich people made their money selling drugs for ISIS.
