Lindemans 2012 Bin 50 Shiraz

Our neighbor recently brought over a 2012 Lindemans Bin 50 Shiraz from South Eastern Australia, the Limestone Coast around the Coonawarra region. It is a very inexpensive but surprisingly good wine rated as an 86 by Wine Spectator and picked as one of their biggest bargains. Tasting notes described it as a dry wine with a deep ruby/purple color; floral, blackberry and eucalyptus on the nose with rich spicy berry fruit flavors; dry, medium to full-bodied, with a spicy sweet fruit center and good length. We decided that there was a hint of leather when first opened but that dissipated with time.

Inge H. Borg

I just wanted to take a moment to thank Inge H. Borg for all of her help and input while I was trying to finish up "Mask" and get it published. Her suggestions were invaluable and shortened the process by weeks. I owe her, at the very least, a bottle of my finest wine. Inge is a world traveler and prolific author of mostly historical and current fiction with a non-fiction book about her rescued cat, Pasha, thrown into the mix. A really sharp lady and it is a privilege to call her friend and mentor. Visit her blog and see all that she has accomplished so far. http://devilwinds.blogspot.com/

My new ebook, "Mask Among The Bones", has been released and is now available. Having an interest in both archeology and action adventure, I've hopefully managed to combine both in "Mask Among The Bones".
While studying in Mexico, I was fortunate enough to spend a great deal of time with an archaeologist who managed to spark a curiosity for history hiding in the dirt. Carrying my studies and those interests forward into the book "Mask Among The Bones", I explore Jessica Lane’s problems, that are just beginning when her plane crashes on the way to Kuchil Kan.
In a game of cat and mouse, Jessica races to find a sacred jade mask buried in the jungles of Belize. Her only hope is to find the artifact first and keep it out of the black market. If the privateers beat her to the mask, it will disappear forever into a private world of greed and deception. At every turn Jessica's dig is faced with problem after problem as she tries to interpret on old map given to her by a stranger. Even the volunteers working with her dig site have become suspects. The one constant in her race for the mask is pilot Michael Donovan. Is he to be trusted or is he helping her only to take the jade mask for himself?
"Mask Among The Bones" has been released on Amazon in the Kindle format, Ibooks, and Copia (www.thecopia.com), Barnes and Noble, Sony, Gardners, Baker & Taylor, eBookPie, eSentral, Scribd and PagePusher.
