Thanks for the heads up, it has been removed.

I'm planning to break the cheap part of the list into published/self published. Should be done later tonight.

I wouldn't have complained because of the amount but I am glad I did and all is right with the world again. Thanks to this board for all the help they have given me; and thanks, Amazon. I just wanted to get back to all members that it does pay to complain once in awhile.

Sorry, my computer was on the fritz for the past few days.

I added a new category Very Cheap Self-Published ($1 and under) for the people who don't want to risk purchasing something that could possibly be subpar quality.

I also added Stalker by Dave Dykema - $0.80 [Suspense] to the list.

Quote:

Dan Freeman loves horror movies. After seeing the movie "Stalker," he gets very enthusiastic about it, emulating the title character and following innocent people around for fun and thrills. He wants to see how close he can get without getting caught. Close enough to eavesdrop on their cell phone conversations? Close enough to smell perfume? Close enough to touch?

Dan suspects his girlfriend of cheating on him. One night, while following her using his newfound skills, Dan finds out an awful truth.

Now the stalker becomes the stalked.

Thanks sirbruce for the heads up.

This month's $1 book from Orbit is free on Kindle:

Once Bitten, Twice Shy by Jennifer Rardin

Book Description

I'm Jaz Parks. My boss is Vayl, born in Romania in 1744. Died there too, at the hand of his vampire wife, Liliana. But that's ancient history. For the moment Vayl works for the C.I.A. doing what he does best--assassination. And I help. You could say I'm an Assistant Assassin. But then I'd have to kick your ass.

Our current assignment seemed easy. Get close to a Miami plastic surgeon named Assan, a charmer with ties to terrorism that run deeper than a buried body. Find out what he's meeting with that can help him and his comrades bring America to her knees. And then close his beady little eyes forever. Why is it that nothing's ever as easy as it seems?

if you go back and look at his post, he said they would be free later today. I'm not sure where the server is located, but it is not yet 1030 on the Pacific coast.
