Multi-genre, multi-volume author Craig L Crawford introduces us to his horror short story, "Don't Mess With Bunnies": Avery is your average teenager with the usual teenage problems...until a seemingly mundane creature gets into her head. This meek and defenseless-looking animal reveals to her the startling cost for the abuse of its kind. Avery quickly learns that this mysterious animal means business, and that the punishment it metes out is no joke! "Don't Mess with Bunnies" is a Mannison Minibook by Mannison Press.  Bunnies are so cute. I had a pet bunny when I was a boy. It got away from me and became food for a predator. I enjoyed this story. It had a cute beginning, but the tension started to rise almost immediately. I am committed to not spoiling a story for another person. I will say the ending is very dramatic with an unexpected twist.  You can buy this book:

Multi-volume, multi-genre author John Dalton introduces us to “The Dead Ship” part of his series: The Gates to the Galaxies:” Traveling through the vast nothingness of space, Jessie never expected her ship to hit a dead body, let alone that of a giant. But, when it does, it sets in motion a series of events that Jessie, Patrick, Kreig and Amanda will never forget. The body bouncing off their ship’s shields is just the first clue to them finding an ancient wounded ship, floating aimlessly in space. It’s crew of giant beings, all dead for centuries. Everyone thinks it would be a good idea to bring the dead ship back to life. Everyone that is except Kreig. Kreig thinks bad things will happen if they mess with the dead. He may be right…  This is such a fun story! I loved the variety of characters and species. One of my favorite characters was Kreig. His blatant honesty and deep feelings were a nice surprise! Proving that you can't judge a character by their looks or vocabulary. I don't give spoilers, but I will say that an innocent fender bender turns into something bigger than anyone would have thought. Get ready for an exciting trip with some nice twists for the readers, but not necessarily for the crews. I award four point five stars because I am picky about certain things.  You can buy this book: https://www.amazon.com/Gates-Galaxies-Dead-Ship-ebook https://www.goodreads.com/-the-gates-to-the-galaxies-the dead-ship You can connect with the author: https://x.com/JDaltonAuthor https://www.facebook.com/j-dalton-author In October of 2023, my wife was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of lung cancer that had spread to her bones. The doctors gave her three months to live.
On Christmas Eve, she went in for a nap and when I went in to check on her, she was lying crossways on the bed and couldn't move or speak. She was rushed to the hospital, where they finally discovered the cancer had messed up her electrolytes. Three days later, the insurance company told the hospital they wouldn't continue to pay for her care if she wasn't getting treatment, and we had to take her home. There were no beds available in any nursing home or any nurses available for home care. So, for three days, my son, daughter and I took turns sleeping on the floor so she wouldn't fall if she tried to get out of bed. How do you, as an individual, take care of a terminally ill person who needs around-the-clock care? Then, we found Charlotte House, or rather through friends on Facebook, they found us. They came to our house and did an interview, then made arrangements with our doctors to transfer their care to them. They couldn't save my wife, but they saved our family. I can never repay the love and care they gave to us all, but I have dedicated all the royalties and signed-book fees I get for my books to support them and "Pay it Forward" for others in need. They have truly become part of my family. My Mafia, so to speak. Charlotte House is a comfort care home, located in Wyoming County, N.Y., for individuals who are diagnosed as terminal with less than (3) months to live. Residents at Charlotte House receive quality care and support from staff, family and trained volunteers. There is never a charge to a resident or their family for resident care thanks to the support of a wonderful community and generous donors. Charlotte House is completely supported by fundraisers, donations, grants, memorials and bequests. A large portion of care is provided by community members that donate their time. Without this support, Charlotte House could not exist. Interested people can also get free autographed copies when they make a donation to charity by emailing me: [email protected]. I will give them instructions on how they can make the donations. I pay postage anywhere inside the continental US. J Dalton Copyright © 2026 Mark L.
