Blow the Whistle is Available on Audio! Narrated by Internet Sensation Maggie Weber/Refashioned Hippie


At Bayside Women’s Correctional Facility, justice isn’t just blind. It’s bound, gagged, and begging for mercy.

Rhonda Campbell thought she flogged her last case with the Atlantic City Police, but when an inmate turns up dead with telltale suspension marks, the cops come calling again. With the murder pointing to kink, coverups, and dirty power plays, Rhonda agrees to go undercover behind bars, where the guards are shady, the gangs are mean, and the jumpsuits are definitely not her color.

Meanwhile, Detective Jason Dee’s been reassigned from homicide to handling crop-wielding dominas and wayward subs. While Rhonda plays prisoner, he and his partner are stuck guarding the Dungeon. His feelings for Mistress Kali are as complex as her contract negotiations and just as dangerous, but when the prison gig needs a visitor with street cred, Jason’s all in, even if playing her pimp means risking more than just his dignity.

With lives on the line and secrets tightening like a velvet cuff, Rhonda and Jason need to blow the whistle on this prison scandal before another girl ends up permanently suspended.



Available on Amazon and Audible! Audio book is currently in production, narrated by Maggie Weber from Refashioned Hippie! 

Unclaimed Mail from Fun Delivered - Soccer Tee & Dog Probiotics

 Today's batch of unclaimed mail from my Fun Delivered box featured a little bit of everything.

The first package was a child's soccer tee. Next up was a container of dog probiotics. As any pet owner knows, you can never have too many health and wellness products on hand for your furry friends, so this was a great find.

The final package contained Nida face cream. I'm always interested in trying new beauty and skincare products, so this was probably my favorite item from today's batch.

While this wasn't the most valuable set of packages I've opened, it was another good example of the variety you get with unclaimed mail. One package might contain clothing, the next pet supplies, and the next a beauty product. You truly never know what's waiting inside until you open it.

Check out the video below to see everything I found! There are still plenty of small packages left to open from this Fun Delivered box, so be sure to check back soon for more mystery mail adventures.

Second Tik Tok Box from Hot Mystery Boxes



 Today I'm opening my second TikTok mystery box from Hot Mystery Boxes, and this one was a huge improvement over the first. My stepfather, Fernando, opened the first box, and that one seemed to contain a lot of damaged returns. This box, however, had a much better mix of items and a far better value overall.

One of my favorite finds was an adorable pet bed that was still sealed in the vacuum seemed. I also found a pair of brown sandals. They said they were a size 9, but I'm an 8 and they fit me perfectly, which is probably why they were returned. I also found three bags of collagen and protein coffee creamer. Those alone made the box feel a lot more valuable than the first one. The box also had several different colors of twine which I passed onto my crafty friends. 

After being a little disappointed with the first TikTok box, this one restored my confidence in Tik Tok boxes. It just goes to show that mystery boxes can be hit or miss, and sometimes the next box is the one that makes it all worthwhile. I can't wait to see what turns up in unclaimed mail box I ordered from Hot Mystery Boxes.



Unclaimed Mail from Fun Delivered - Mini Shovels & Tool Kit

 The next batch of unclaimed mail from my Fun Delivered box was packed with practical finds, even if nothing was especially flashy.

The first package contained a tool set of assorted nuts and bolts. It's one of those items that's always useful to have around the house because you never know when you'll need a replacement piece for a quick repair project.

Next up was a set of two mini shovels and a rake. These little gardening tools would be perfect for container gardens, flower pots, or other small planting projects. As someone who always seems to be tinkering with something around the house, I can definitely find a use for them.

The final package contained a plastic repair kit. This was another surprisingly practical item that could come in handy for fixing cracked bins, outdoor items, or other plastic products instead of throwing them away.

While this batch wasn't filled with exciting gadgets or high-value surprises, it was full of useful items that I'll actually be able to use. That's one of the things I've enjoyed most about this Fun Delivered box. Every few packages bring something completely different, and there are always a few unexpected finds mixed in with the everyday essentials.

Stay tuned for more unclaimed mail openings because I still have plenty of packages left to go through!

Saved by the Pack: How 50 Dogs Helped Me Find My Purpose by Lee Asher



If you're an animal lover, some books don't just tell a story, they make you want to reach through the pages and hug every furry face you meet. Saved by the Pack: How 50 Dogs Helped Me Find My Purpose by Lee Asher is one of those books. Rather than focusing on a single rescue or a handful of pets, Asher shares the stories of dozens of animals who changed his life and reminds readers why rescue animals leave lasting pawprints on our hearts.

Many readers already know Lee Asher through The Asher House, an organization that provides rescue and rehabilitation for animals in need. He also has a huge presence online through his popular social media videos, but this book goes beyond the photos and short clips his audience has come to love. Through the stories of 50 rescued animals, he shares the personalities, quirks, challenges, and triumphs that make each animal unforgettable. These aren't just dogs in a sanctuary. Each one is an individual with their own story to share, and Asher brings them to life in a way that makes them feel like old friends.

One of the things that makes this book especially appealing for animal lovers is the way the dogs practically leap off the page. Whether it's an energetic pup getting into mischief, a senior dog finally finding a safe place to call home, or a special-needs pet proving his worth, each story highlights the resilience and unconditional love animals are capable of giving. Be warned: you're likely to find yourself wanting to snuggle every single dog featured in the book and if you're especially soft-hearted, you might need to grab a tissue.



The beautiful photography adds another layer to the experience. Filled with adorable photos of the rescue animals, Saved by the Pack is every bit as much a visual treat as it is a memoir. Dog lovers will find themselves lingering over the pictures, studying every floppy ear, goofy grin, and soulful expression. It will look great of a coffee table, ready to be picked up whenever you need a smile.

While the animals are undoubtedly the stars of the show, Asher also shares pieces of his own journey. He writes openly about growing up with ADHD, dealing with bullying, and navigating a career path that ultimately left him searching for something more meaningful. His story serves as a reminder that sometimes the things we're meant to do in life find us when we least expect them. In this case, that purpose arrived on four paws, over and over again.

Warm, uplifting, and packed with heartwarming rescue stories, Saved by the Pack is sure to appeal to dog lovers, pet owners, and anyone who enjoys stories about second chances. Between the inspiring tales, lovable animal personalities, and page after page of adorable photos, it's easy to see why so many readers are connecting with this book. Saved by the Pack is available in hardcover, Kindle, and audiobook editions and currently holds a solid 4.9-star rating on Amazon. If stories about rescue animals make your heart melt, this is one title you'll want to add to your collection. Grab your copy on Amazon today!
