Free on Kindle - The Renovation: Carter Mansion

koland — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 04:25:43 GMT

The Renovation: Carter Mansion, by Terri Kraus, is book one of the Project Restoration series. It's in the topaz format, but hey, free is free.

Book Description
Ethan Willis has made a career out of restoring old houses like the Carter Mansion so he�s an expert with doors and windows. He knows his way around a toolbox, a construction site, and anything else having to do with rebuilding. If only he could do the same with his own life. Tragically widowed and left with a young son, he�s done the best he could, but now that Chase has become a teenager that best somehow isn�t quite good enough.

For his part, Chase doesn�t know what he�d do without baseball, his best friend Elliott and the secret hideaway even his dad doesn�t know about. What he does know is that the reporter lady who suddenly started chatting with his dad can�t be a good thing.

In a small town where everyone knows everything, does an outsider�a young, cute, ambitious reporter-kind-of-outsider like Cameron Dane�even have a prayer of getting to know the handsome but moody builder? Does it matter that they both hold secrets from their pasts? And can Chase ever be freed from the hidden guilt of his mother�s death? Only time, and a special kind of patience, will tell.

cassidym — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:44:08 GMT

A Sony salesman at the Sony eBook reader kiosk in Tyson's Corner here in Norther Virginia today offered me a $50 trade in on my 505 for a 300. And a $75 discount were I to buy a 600 and trade in my 505. I wasn't interested but wondered if anyone else has seen this.

This is not the Sony Style store at Tyson's but rather the Sony eBook Reader kiosk on the ground floor in front of Lord and Taylor.

Four Free Books on Kindle (11/18/09)

koland — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:15:19 GMT

House Of Danger, by R. A. Montgomery, is book 6 in the Choose Your Own Adventure series and is scheduled to be free until Nov 26.

Book Description
Is there evil in a modern glass house built on the site of a terrible Civil War prison? You think there is. This is one case that maybe you shouldn't take. Despite your successes as a young detective, the house and its missing owner have haunted you more than any other case. Maybe this is a sign you shouldn't continue? Are there spirits and resurrected soldiers in the basement seeking revenge on their wartime enemies? Will they mistake you for the general who landed them in prison in the first place? No knowledge of American history could prepare you for what you're about to encounter now! Unimaginable dangers, including alternate worlds and half-human baboons, await you!

Immortal, by V.K. Forrest, is book three in her Clare Point series

Book Description
For centuries, the Kahill vampire clan has lived quietly among locals and tourists in the tranquil beachfront village of Clare Point. In Immortal, V.K. Forrest weaves the unforgettable tale of Fin, a Kahill clan leader who discovers that the woman he loves may harbor a secret too dark to comprehend. . .

Immortal

Magnetic, fearless Fin Kahill has dedicated his life to ridding the world of its most vicious serial killers. Fin is used to roaming the earth freely--not getting stuck in sleepy Clare Point. But when the clan needs him close by, Fin agrees to take a summer job on the town's tiny police force. He expects little excitement--until he meets Elena, an ethereal Italian beauty.

As Fin struggles against his feelings for Elena, the peace in Clare Point is shattered by the inexplicable murder of a tourist. The young man's throat has been cut, his body eerily posed. When the killer strikes again, Fin wonders if a member of his own clan is responsible. The only one he can turn to is Elena, but he knows that falling in love with a human can be a deadly mistake. Yet just as Fin edges closer to solving the murders, he discovers Elena may not be exactly who, or what, she appears. . .

A Catered Birthday Party, by Isis Crawford, is one of the books that was free earlier this week in the Sony store.

Book Description
When sisters Bernie and Libby Simmons sign on to cater a prize pooch's birthday bash, they think they're ready for anything. But they haven't bargained for a killer with a bone to pick . . .

A Little Taste of Heaven catering certainly knows how to feed people. Dogs, however. . .? Bernie and Libby will have their chance to impress guests of the four-legged variety when they lay out the spread for Trudy the Pug's birthday luncheon. But this isn't just any doggie 'do. Trudy's owner, Annabel Colbert, is one of the richest women in town--and as mascot of the Colbert toy company, Trudy herself is a bona fide celebrity.

When the big day arrives, Trudy and her canine cohorts are ready to dig in to the delicacies--but the first to dip her fangs into the wine is Annabel. Mere moments later, the hostess is shrieking she's been poisoned--and proving it by falling face first into her soup. After two days in a coma, Annabel is dead.

It seems the woman who had everything also had her share of enemies. In fact, Annabel was cheating, blackmailing, or backstabbing most of the people she knew, including her very own best friend, her very own husband, his personal assistant, and last but not least, Trudy's trainer and kennel owner.

With so many suspects, sniffing out the truth is rapidly becoming a tricky, not to mention risky, proposition. Bernie and Libby had better close the oven on this case fast--before they get burned. . .

With Extreme Pleasure, by Alison Kent

Book Description
Only Something This Dangerous. . .

After three weeks in Manhattan, Kingdom Trahan is ready to get back to bayous, crawfish boils, and afternoons fishing on the Gulf. But before he can pull out of the parking garage, he meets a curvy detour. King noticed Cady Kowalski on the photo shoot he just endured--sexy and confident, with a waifish look that belies the way she corralled him into submission using only a can of hairspray. Yet Cady isn't confident now. She's bruised, edgy, and desperate to get out of town. . .

Could Feel This Good. . .

For years, Cady has been looking over her shoulder, wondering when the gang of drug-running criminals who killed her brother would make their move on her. She's grown used to having no one to turn to, no one to trust. But King isn't walking away--not even when their lives are threatened, again and again. Drawing Cady's pursuers out of hiding is the only way to end this, and it's also the most reckless thing they can do. . .short of diving into a red-hot affair from which there's no turning back. . .

Pay what you want for 5 issues of GUD Magazine

kaolin — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:29:15 GMT

Now's the best time to get a PDF of any issue of GUD--for whatever price you like (minimum one US cent; though we don't see a cent unless you pay more than 5 cents; and half the net of every sale goes back to our contributors. Help us bump their advances from semi-pro to earned-out pro rates? Every penny helps, and tell your friends! :)

GUD (pronounced "good") is Greatest Uncommon Denominator, an award-winning print/pdf magazine with two hundred pages of literary and genre fiction, poetry, art, and articles.

We're available for multiple ebook devices via Fictionwise, but we could only really set up the "pay what you want" for PDFs.

If you have any suggestions for making them more accessible, we'd love to hear them. Don't know if we'd be able to implement anything, but we're willing to try. For instance, due to feedback below, you can now *nab an EPUB of Issue 3 as a "teaser"*.

New to ebooks and just picked up a PRS-600. I would like to find a good free NIV Bible download and haven't had much luck. I either don't know where to look (most likely :smack:) or they are well hidden. Can someone point me in the right direction.
