This is an Amazon US deal on books that are available at other e-tailers, but at significantly higher prices. They appear to be independently or small-press published, but I've taken the plunge on the first three out of four novels (not counting the Christmas short) and have the other one on my wish list; I've put my money where my mouth is.

The first three Carrie Hatchett, Space Adventurer novels are US$0.99 each at Amazon, for an unknown period of time. I picked the first book up as a freebie back in August, so I'm guessing its 99-cent price is normal, but the middle two - like book four - are usually $3.99. The blurb for book one is:

Quote:
The galaxy is in crisis, and Carrie Hatchett is the last person on Earth who should be fixing it.

Carrie is a low-achieving daydreamer. After providing a good home for her butt-ugly dog and psychotic cat, her biggest challenge in life is to avoid being fired, again.

But a strange green mist sucks her beneath her kitchen sink, and an unusual clerical error leads to an offer she foolishly doesn’t refuse.

The Transgalactic Council hire her to settle a conflict between the mechanical placktoids and the mysterious oootoon. Carrie must overcome her personal weaknesses and, for the first time in her life, succeed in her job, to uncover a threat to the entire galaxy.
This series looks like a lot of fun, and there are enough positive reviews to make me take the chance.
