CLAWS by Stacey Cochran - $0.80 [Horror/Suspense]

Something stalks the citizens of Arizona... Dr. Angie Rippard is an Arizona wildlife biologist who is drawn into a police investigation when two teenagers are found dead on a golf course that borders protected National Forest Land. Rippard suspects the teens were attacked by a large mountain lion. Backed into a corner, it knows no fear... Rippard believes that the resort was developed too close to wilderness lands, but her plan to relocate cougars in the area provokes the wrath of the resort's owner-Charlie Rutledge-who believes the animals should be exterminated. Eight million years have shaped its predatory skill... Deep inside the Tonto National Forest, Rippard and her grad students realize that Charlie Rutledge is hunting them. In a thrilling climax, Rippard must make a choice to kill the cougar that is certain to kill Charlie Rutledge, or kill Rutledge who is certain to kill her. Now we are the endangered species.

And they're willing to kill her to find out. Levine and a group of friends escape to Colorado to unravel the mystery of the sequence, but there they become snowbound.

The Grove by John Rector - $0.99 [Horror]

The last time farmer Dexter McCray went off his medication, someone wound up dead. So, after waking from an alcoholic blackout to discover his tractor stuck in a ditch and the body of a teenage girl in the cottonwood grove bordering his cornfield, things look worryingly familiar.

With no alibi and a creeping suspicion that he might indeed be guilty, Dexter decides to investigate the crime himself. He can’t tell anybody. Not his friend, the sheriff, who keeps offering to help him winch his tractor out of the ditch. Nor his estranged wife, whose love he’s desperate to win back. And certainly not the Tollivers, his redneck neighbors.

Fortunately, Dexter’s not entirely alone. He has some help.

In the shape of the dead girl herself.

MetaGame by Sam Landstrom - $0.80 [Sci-Fi]

Life is a game, literally. Winners earn immortality, while losers are condemned to aging and death. D_Light, a gifted player, knows this all too well and he’s willing to do anything to win—even kill. It is no wonder then that when given the chance to enter a MetaGame—an exclusive, high-stakes, anything goes contest—he’s quick to jump at the opportunity. The MetaGame starts out well enough for D_Light, the first quest being to hunt down a dangerous fugitive, but through his own ambition, the tables turn and D_Light finds himself the renegade. Now, D_Light pits himself against his world to find the truth behind “The Game” and must decide between winning it and saving what’s left of his humanity.

This 122,000 word (~400 page) novel blends emerging political and cultural trends, such as gaming culture, globalization, and the ever-increasing hegemony of corporations, with technological trends, such as genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality. Emerging from this stew is an original world for you to explore through the point of view of its many "players".

Relocating Mia by Rebecca Lerwill - $0.99 [Romantic Thriller]

Relocating Mia is a romantic thriller and the debut of award-winning novelist Rebecca Lerwill.

Mia Trentino is the top relocating specialist at Worldmove, Inc., and her latest assignment is sending her to Siberia, Russia. But the new job comes with a new partner—a handsome threat to her career named Douglas Farland.

After a rocky start, the job is going well, and things begin to heat up between Mia and Douglas. Then, lies and secrets begin to surface that make Mia suspect her new partner might have a different agenda. What seemed like a simple relocation erupts into a cat-and-mouse game of intrigue full of drug smuggling, secret agents, and the Red Mafiya. Suddenly Mia’s in a fight for her life, and she may have to trust the one person who seems the most to blame.
____________

Relocating Mia has been honored as a Finalist with the 2007 USA Book News Best Book Awards and the 2007 Indie Excellence Awards, and was a WINNER of the 2008 Sabrina Book Awards.

Seducing Jane Porter by Dominique Adair

This is another one where you should read the warning before one-clicking.

Book Description

Being bad never felt so good-

After being jilted by her former master, Jane Porter looks to end her year-long celibacy by attending a bondage-themed event. Thanks to her ex-boyfriend-s stunning betrayal, she isn-t looking for happily-ever-after, just a master who-s willing to explore the depths of her passion and teach her what the BDSM lifestyle is all about.

Antonio Villareal was a wanted man. Single, rich and good looking, he-s on the hunt for a submissive to share his world. The moment he sees Jane on the arm of another man, he wants to possess her body and soul. The only problem is; Jane makes it clear she isn-t a forever kind of girl.

Can Antonio convince Jane to give him a chance?

Warning: Graphic sex, bondage scenes and the use of masks.

Oh man, I've been wanting to read this book for months, but I didn't want to spend the $$$ on a paper book I might or might not be able to read (bad eyes). Not only is it out on the Kindle now, but it's a huge bargain to boot!

Thanks a lot.

I love not having to hide some of the more interesting covers from my small children. The kindle is great!

At least Kindle libraries are a little more private than facebook pages (where archives have come back to bite more than one person, even a few years later). Myself, you'd be searching thru pages and pages of library "shelves" to find out what I might have purchased or read (and don't hold out any hopes of a political or beauty pageant career for it to be a problem). I've grabbed similar ones in the past, trained by Amazon to one-click before the deal changes, without reading the description (doesn't mean I'll read it, but someone on my account might want to, between now and when Amazon ceases to exist (hopefully far, far in the future) and my library shelves become inaccessible). At the least, your cheer of long live will (hopefully) be granted, by the permanence of Amazon Kindle purchases (even if you might wish you could truly delete them and pretend you didn't buy and/or read a particular book).

Here's another one. It's only $.80 at Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/Uncovered-Pass...4122813&sr=1-1

Sasha Verochka is an FSB agent assigned to her first mission. Her mission? Uncovering the motives for why a handsome, former Marine is in Moscow. Being telepathic, she never thought it would be so hard to reveal the truth about Garrick Caldwell. But then again, she'd never experienced desire like this.

Now time is running out as her superiors want answers she can't make herself find. For in doing so, she just might lose her one chance at passion.

Yeah, it's under Free Short Stories/Novellas since it's a short story designed to drum up publicity for Star Wars: Fate Of The Jedi: Omen
