Following a chance discovery in Central Park, the worlds of men and magic have collided and Ben is stuck right in the middle of it.

Landscapes both magical and material are explored in this story of self-discovery, unicorns, nymphs, baseball, wizards, construction, magic and kidnapping, all in the Big Apple.

If there is still magic to be discovered in the world then this is how it might be found.

Magic is where you are least expecting it.

Using their financial and familial connections around the globe, they work to foil the machinations of the financiers of the Third Reich.

In the Belly of Jonah: A Liv Bergen Mystery by Sandra Brannan

In the Belly of Jonah is a fast-paced mystery with a likable protagonist and an intricately woven narrative brimming with bizarre yet believable twists. The first in a series, the book expertly lays the groundwork for Liv Bergen, amateur sleuth, and her love interest, FBI Agent Streeter Pierce. Liv becomes involved in the investigation of the murder of Jill Brannigan, a summer intern at the limestone mine Liv manages near Fort Collins, Colorado (a breathtaking setting that unwittingly becomes an accessory to crime). In doing so, she inadvertently puts her friends, her family, and herself at risk of being swallowed in the belly of a madman bloated with perverse appetites for women, surrealistic art, and renown. Perhaps a bit too daring (and at times irreverent) for her own good, “Boots,” as Liv’s eight siblings call her, soon realizes she has a knack for outsmarting and tracking down the Venus de Milo murderer—and she enjoys it! As the gripping plot of In the Belly of Jonah unfolds, Liv Bergen takes her place alongside the best female crime-solvers as a woman with smarts, self-confidence, and intuitive savvy.

It seems most of these are self-published titles. Did Amazon just recently make a change allowing free self-published ebooks? Last I heard, though it's been a while, they didn't allow self-published authors to offer their books for free.

Hi, I was searching Google to see where my book was mentioned on the net and stumbled on this thread. I have the answer to your question, at least with regards to my book.

When I listed my book on Amazon, they would not let let me list it for free (this is still true). I also put my book on Smashwords (and elsewhere), and everyone else let me list it for free.This was back in November and it has been 99 cents (lowest possible price) until early May on Amazon and free everywhere else. In early May I received an email from Amazon saying:

Dear Publisher,

We wanted to let you know that we have matched a free promotion on another sales channel for the following ASIN(s):B004CFAP22

Shortly after that it showed up for free. I assume that is true for the rest of the authors listed here.
