Free Book - New York Echoes (DF)

[koland]

Warren Adler's short story collection New York Echoes is free this week, direct from the author.

Acclaimed author Warren Adler focuses his laser eye on New York City in these 22 deftly crafted and compelling short stories. New York, the frenetic, tough-minded, generous-hearted city, magnet for people's hopes and aspirations, is as vividly and lovingly portrayed here as any of the characters. As in his celebrated novels, Adler's themes in NEW YORK ECHOES deal primarily with intimate human relationships-the mysterious nature of love and attraction; the fragile bonds between husbands and wives, and parents and children; the divide between generation; the obsessive pursuit of the creative artist and the emotional toll it exacts. In these stories, past memories collide with present realities; with first love comes first betrayal; chance encounters have unexpected consequences; and the devastating impact of 9/11 refuses to fade, wreaking havoc years after the tragedy. All of the hallmarks of Warren Adler's fiction are everywhere in evidence in NEW YORK ECHOES in powerful stories that reflect a special understanding of the human condition as seen through the eyes of one of America's most prolific authors. Above all, these radiant tales are a celebration of the short story and of an author's return to his much-loved, dearly missed native city.

I was just about to post this, but got sidetracked with the Poisoned Pen Press stuff instead.

My giveaway code is 90534058 if anyone cares to use it.

We can share the K. Fire if we win (by then, it'll be obsolete, anyway!).

You take it the first year ... that'll save shipping it coast to coast.

I don't think those are even supposed to work in Canada (they're certainly not willing to ship them up here, last I heard).

In any case, given what I've heard about the KFire's less-than-optimal reading organization capabilities, I think I'd rather have a real Android tablet instead (though I certainly wouldn't turn down a freebie, if it actually can get shipped up here and work without my having to lie about Ye Olde Account Addresse. Again).

In any case, apparently we finally have a release date and a title for Warren Adler's new novel, which is the one he's doing all these giveaway promos and the contest for:

The Serpent's Bite, due September 4th and it'll be another one of those dysfunctional family drama things.

Incidentally, I did read both the freebie War of the Roses and the sequel and they were quite fun, although the first one was much better.
