Since I’ve written many books for Kindle and own a Kindle myself, I was delighted to receive this guest post on choosing a Kindle model for the holiday season. As an added bonus, for the benefit of people who are loading up Kindles as Christmas gifts, I’m inviting authors to come by and post their $2.99 and under Kindle book (1 per author) and link in the comments. Hope you find it helpful and happy shopping!
The holiday season is sure to be a busy one for bookworms and tech junkies alike: Amazon’s new family of Kindles gives readers a choice of devices that range from light and basic to powerful and fancy. And the biggest surprise isn’t the great-looking Kindle Fire: it’s the prices of the new Kindles that are making news.
Amazon’s new Kindles range from $79 to $199, with the new full-color tablet, the Kindle Fire, at the high-end of both price and functionality. By pricing the devices so competitively, Amazon has made it possible for a whole new audience to buy e-readers and tablets. And while tech blogs have suggested Amazon is looking to take a bite out of Apple’s tablet market share, the real aim appears to be giving current Amazon customers a new way to use and buy content.
The previous Kindle—now known as Kindle Keyboard—was the most popular e-reader in the country for a reason: the e-ink display made reading easy on the eyes, the keyboard allowed readers to type in notes and make bookmarks, and made reading interactive with their Twitter and Facebook apps. The new Kindle is more streamlined: the keyboard is gone, but the five-way joystick remains. And the new Kindle is 30% lighter and almost 20% smaller. At $79, it’s a perfect Christmas gift. The Kindle Keyboard still has fans, so Amazon will keep selling it at a comfortable $99.
Kindle Touch
This is one of the most exciting e-readers of the year: Amazon’s first e-ink e-reader with a touchscreen makes searching and shopping for books easy. Barnes and Noble has had touchscreen e-readers for a few years now—and Amazon was arguably slow in offering their customers a touchscreen option. Still, at $99, this is a good gift for readers who might want to upgrade their older Kindles. But readers who still love the old Kindle 3—now known as the Kindle Keyboard—can breathe a sigh of relief. Amazon will still support and sell Kindle Keyboards.
Kindle Fire
This new device is Amazon’s big gamble on introducing a tablet into their Kindle family—and with more than a quarter-million orders just five days after its introduction, it’s a gamble that appears to be paying off.
The Kindle Fire is being touted as a competitor to the iPad2, as well as an alternative to Barnes and Noble’s Nook Color e-reader. But it’s neither: the Kindle Fire is best seen as Amazon’s mobile content delivery device. With the Fire, Amazon puts their storefront in consumers’ hands: buying music, books, movies and TV’s, as well as the millions of other items on sale on the website are just a few clicks away.
With Amazon’s Prime program, members have access to thousands of movies and TV shows, as well as free two-day shipping on any item they order. Those two benefits make the new Kindles—especially the Kindle Fire—an investment. Giving customers a fast, handy device that makes it easier to shop will certainly translate into more orders for Amazon. And with the new family of Kindles, Amazon could change the face of shopping—again.

THE WAKING GROVE is available through Amazon for just $2.99. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005MUEVOO
You can read the blurb below.
As a dryad and the last of her kind, Melina’s desire to protect the Waking Grove overpowers her dreams of ever falling in love or raising a family. But when a mysterious blossom—an unborn dryad—appears at the base of her tree, the dedication Melina feels toward her people shifts.
The druids who raised Melina warn that the blossom growing under the Great Tree is her replacement. Being the closest thing to family she’s ever had, Melina struggles to protect her daughter and those taking refuge within her Grove. But as the blossom grows, her lifeforce and ability to keep the Waking Grove hidden from outsiders wanes. Threatened by humans moving in from the south, the timing couldn’t be any worse.
Melina can regain her strength and bring peace back to the Waking Grove by destroying the blossom, but doing so may mean extinguishing her race and taking the life of something she values more than life itself—the family she’s never had.
Total word count approximately 48,000 words.

THE EYES THAT HAUNT ME
One hot September afternoon, Annie Henderson’s life changed forever. That was the day she was raped. Nine months later, she gave up the daughter she’d conceived on that terrible day. Forging a new life was difficult, but Annie had a successful military career and then had a family. Life was good, until the daughter she gave up reenters her life, and threatens to ruin it forever.
THE LUXURY TRAP
Erica came from a large family and always had to work hard for everything in life. Then she met Donovan Whitmore—the man of her dreams who could give her everything she ever wanted. Only … it turned out Donovan worked just as hard as Erica—-maybe harder. And then everything she always wanted wasn’t nearly enough.
Christopher Combe is stuck in a rut. Maybe he’s just eaten too much chocolate cake, but the sad fact is that his life lacks purpose and direction. Then, almost out of the blue, comes the chance of a lifetime: he is offered a job in the shiny new city of Dubai.
Enticed by the prospect of a tax-free salary and year-round sunshine, Chris persuades his wife and two young children to join him for an adventure in the land of Burj, bling, belly-dancing and Bebsi-cola….
They encounter the good, the bad and the dusty. They are made to feel like VIPs in the palatial malls and hotels, but out on the hectic highways they see the white buses full of blue-overalled workers being ferried to the countless construction sites around Dubai and wonder what life is like for them.
The family work through swathes of red tape in order to obtain visas, bank accounts and permission to drink beer, and they discover how healthcare works when there isn’t a nice, free NHS to rely on.
As the realities of Dubai are gradually exposed, Chris wonders what the future holds, both for his family and for the city that seems to want to grow and grow forever…
Based on the popular blog “Beer And Bloating in Dubai”, this is the story of one British family’s year in Dubai, presenting a forthright, funny and poignant outlook on their experiences. Written between the summers of 2006 and 2007, it offers a peek at what the city is like through the eyes of one mad fool who took the plunge…

SHADOW SPORT by Ethan Cobb
What is the price of eternity?
When Vespa’s father mysteriously dies, her family uproots and moves to a small coastal town in Oregon. Vespa yearns to disappear from the gawking stares of her new classmates, except one. She’s intrigued by Ember, a fashionable, and charming student. But the deeper Vespa involves herself in Ember’s life, the darker his secrets become. As Vespa unravels more about Ember, she suspects there may be more to her father’s death. Then she finds herself caught in Shadow Sport—a celebration that will answer all her questions and awaken new nightmares.
Shadow Sport is approximately 53,000 words long, and contains riveting action like the Hunger Games and chilling monsters like Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
A failed suicide attempt unites the last living minotaur, Evander, with the eminent sorcerer and perfidious rake Scammander, who might have lost all of his magical knowledge or might have just stashed it elsewhere to make room for his biggest plot yet.
Bonded by suffering and a special antipathy for humanity, the two set out to do what all villains dream of: destroying the world, one civilization at a time.
But how can only two creatures annihilate the world?

Here is a kindle book neither men or women will be able to put down:
Gastien Part 1: The Cost of the Dream $2.99 4 Star rating. Reviewers are calling it emotionally powerful and unable to put down. Part 2 coming out in December!
http://tinyurl.com/3ecu8ku
In this both dark and hopeful first book, young Gastien Beauchamp begins his journey to Paris with two goals in life. The first is to become an artist with his own studio, following his own rules. That is an almost impossible dream for a peasant. Gastien has no money, no formal training, and is a naïve eighteen year old fresh off the farm. Paris spits out talented men into the gutters every day. “Good” gets you nowhere. “Great” maybe gets you a bowl of soup.
The second is to become the greatest lover in France. That should be easy. With his stunning looks, and his willingness to learn, the women of Paris are about to be awakened in a way they have only dreamt about in the 19th century!
Gastien swears that he has no interest in love. Love would only take away his dreams. But he is innocent and does not realize that sex without love can be quite empty. Before he can learn that, he must face obstacles and heartaches that will threaten to destroy his very soul.
Insatiable, burning passion. Focus and drive. Raw, natural talent. Armed with those, Gastien is determined to succeed at any cost. Poor Gastien. If he could only know in advance what struggles lay before him, he might think twice about leaving home. However, he is young and full of hope. The dreams burn relentlessly inside of him, not allowing him a moments rest. And so the journey begins.
Thanks, Stacy!

Trevor’s Song: Fame and Fortune have destroyed many a rock star, but Trevor Wolff has a bigger problem when his best friend Mitchell Voss commits an act of monogamy with sexy artist Kerri Broadhurst.
ShapeShifter band dynamics will never be the same with this new woman on the scene, and the distractions of two girlfriends and a world tour aren’t enough to keep Trevor from feeling like his carefully constructed world is crumbling around him. The pesky little illness he’s been hiding from his band mates isn’t help, either.
Trevor is determined to drive Kerri away so life can run properly. He’ll do whatever it takes, or die trying, and not just because if he doesn’t get well soon, time might be up for old Trevor. The last person he expects help or sympathy from is Kerri herself, but he may have to make common cause with his enemy if he’s to survive the fallout from the secrets he’s been hiding.

EASY INNOCENCE, a Georgia Davis PI story.
Here’s the description:
When pretty, smart Sara Long is found bludgeoned to death, it’s easy to blame the man with the bat. But Georgia Davis — former cop and newly-minted PI — is hired to look into the incident at the behest of the accused’s sister, and what she finds hints at a much different, much darker answer. It seems the privileged, preppy schoolgirls on Chicago’s North Shore have learned just how much their innocence is worth to hot-under-the-collar businessmen. But while these girls can pay for Prada pricetags, they don’t realize that their new business venture may end up costing them more than they can afford.
And some reviews:
“Hellmann brings to life the reality of bullying among teenage girls with enough twists and turns to keep you reading. Highly recommended.”
–Library Journal (Starred Review)
” Just what’s needed in a mystery… Depth of characterization sets this new entry by Hellmann (A Shot to Die For, 2005, etc.) apart from a crowded field.” –Kirkus Reviews
” There’s a new no-nonsense female private detective in town: Georgia Davis, a former cop who is tough and smart enough to give even the legendary V.I. Warshawski a run for her money. ” –Chicago Tribune

The first western in my Saugatuck Trilogy, Range War, has just gone live for the Kindle for only $1.99. More to come!
Sam Stevenson had been Sheriff of Saugatuck for a number of years, and he had faced many challenges. None of them prepared him for what he would face when the railroad was coming to town. Two large ranchers both wanted to control the railroad land, and both planned to use it to destroy the other, even if that meant that Saugatuck became a casualty in the process.
While trying to keep a lid on the situation, Sam is forced to confront something from his past that he had hoped was left behind. The result of this confrontation risks the life Sam had built for himself while starting over in this town.
This is a fast paced western adventure that reminds us of the old time westerns by Max Brand and similar authors. At almost 34,000 words, this is a fun way to spend a weekend with your Kindle. The first book in a trilogy about the town of Saugatuck and its lawman, and I hope you will enjoy the others.

Sylvie was a pleaser. She did as her mother pleased, and she did as her fiancé pleased. Then she did as she pleased. Determined to take back her life, she heads to the hills instead of the altar on her wedding day. Coming across a quaint, country inn with an intriguing name, she impulsively checks in. Peopled with an odd assortment of characters, the inn has clearly seen better days; even the regulars have a bit of wear on them. When Alex arrives and is strangely comfortable vacationing among the geriatric set, Sylvie is wary and tries to ignore him.
But Alex will not be ignored, pushing her buttons until she admits, if only to herself, that she’s falling for him. Not until she’s hired to manage the inn does she learn he’s not the businessman he pretends to be, but a streetwise PI hired by her ex to find her. Adding insult to injury, he buys the inn and asks her to help restore it to its former glory.

Devon Ruthin and a Vampire in Love book one in The Ruthin Trilogy
This adult paranormal romance/urban fantasy is the first volume in The Ruthin Trilogy.
Bliss is lonely and taking chances when she goes off on holiday and meets the man of her dreams, Devon Ruthin. She is trying to replicate the life of a character in a book she has read recently, and without realizing it, she enters a twilight world. A world filled with strange people, beautiful powerful beings who seem to be the saviours of the man she falls in love with. This is a darker tale than first meets the eye, and as the story unfolds, it becomes obvious that the beautiful people, who are seemingly so wonderful, have secrets of their own.
On her journey, Bliss encounters the pale and attractive Drew. It seems fate has a trick up its sleeve when we discover that he has met the mysterious people before. The chance meeting with Bliss sets off a series of actions by Drew that uncovers a hidden past belonging to Devon.
This is a love story, a story of revenge, hope, violence, immortality, and fate.
Who ends up losing their life or their love?
Is Devon as free as he thinks?
Follow the incorrigible, dangerous, and strangely loveable Drew in his quest to recapture a lost love.
“I apologise for being so rude, not introducing myself, it just slipped my mind. Bliss, that’s an interesting name, evocative, hopeful, soft, you can almost taste it as you say the name. I imagine it has caused some comment from people you have encountered in your life,” he said gently.
Bliss watched his expression, he was tasting her name she thought, it scared her a little, and yet she liked what he had said about her name, others had made fun.
Devon reacted at a phenomenal speed. He struck the vampire in the throat with his bare hand, his extreme strength, and skill born of age, cut the head of this vampire right off. The one with the ability to move things hurled a barrel at Devon from a distance, Devon moved and the barrel hit the flagstones and shattered spilling its contents across them.
When he had finally told her his name, as she heard it, a shiver went down her spine. She did not know the origins of that shiver, other than she found his name to be as sexy as he was. He in turn had enthused over her name when she had told it to him in a return of information.
“Bliss, Bliss, Bliss”, he had said. “It sounds as if it could be the name of an exotic new drink, a cocktail”. He had smiled again at her and in her innocence, Bliss believed his sincerity.
Pearl loved Greta, but Greta was both a lover of men and women, and Pearl wanted exclusivity, not in a relationship but in the fundamental sexual preference of her lovers. She had never analysed this she just knew it. So whilst she and Greta met every week, read and talked, fed and had some wild sex they would never live together.
All the same he wandered out to look at Bliss, he went close to her, and took advantage of the fact she was tied hand and foot to kiss her. Bliss moved her face quickly but he jerked it back and kissed her lips.
“Bliss you are lovely, I’m sorry it had to be like this but as they say all’s fair in love and war, and this is about a love and a war”.

My novella, SHADA, is the first installment in the Ember Cole series of paranormal suspense books for a YA and general audience. It has a feel similar to Stephen King’s “The Body,” and is currently available on Amazon for only $0.99!
http://amzn.to/uAwSP2
If you could speak to the dead, anyone at all, who would it be?
When Jeni asked this question, Shada Emery figured it was a joke. So both she and Willow joined in the fun, naming their favorite dead celebrities.
And then there was Ember Cole.
Ember wants one more talk with her Grandpa Normie, whose death a year ago began a year of tragedy. So when Jeni suggests a camping trip into the dense woods of northwestern Wisconsin to hold a seance, Shada and Willow put off their misgivings and agree for the sake of their friend.
Ember hopes to find the answers she seeks among the dead. But sometimes the dead have their own agenda.
SHADA is Book 1 of the Ember Cole series. A young adult paranormal suspense novella, it runs about 32,500 words or 125 pages in length.
Early Praise for SHADA:
“This is a great book … I enjoyed SHADA very much. It’s got that spine tingling fun while drawing you into the characters and their lives.” —Victorine E. Lieske, NYT bestselling author of NOT WHAT SHE SEEMS and the OVERTAKING series
“SHADA drew me in, left me wanting more, and made me a little afraid to go outside after dark.” —T.L. Haddix, author of SECRETS IN THE SHADOWS, UNDER THE MOON’S SHADOW and SHADOWS FROM THE GRAVE

TRUE FRIENDS
It’s the fall of 1983. David Chalmers is a high school senior who hangs around with a group of fellow science-fiction fans, but feels few attachments to them. Alison Hughes runs with the popular crowd, but she’s as smart as she is pretty, and wonders if they’re becoming predictable.
Over the course of a few weeks events will cause David and Alison to think about what it means to be friends. Are friends just people you spend time with? What does it mean when you’re someone’s friend? Why should any of that be important?

“This book was a departure from the genres I usually read. However, the well-developed characters and vivid fantasy world drew me into a story that was at once imaginative and concrete.
My favorite characters were the cats, especially Tara. Her sassy sarcasm and position as the kitten of destiny suggest a lot more than we know going on behind those little green eyes.
When Tara joins forces with Druid, a dragon with an inferiority complex, and Serazina, a human who must hide her emotional existence behind a shield of cold logic, they are a wonderful match for the opportunistic villain Frost.
Don’t start this book at bedtime — for you’ll be up reading into the wee hours.”
The first novel in the Prosper Snow series, The Kult is only 99 cents. The book was filmed by an independent production company last year. Just awaiting release details:
People are predictable. That’s what makes them easy to kill.
Out of misguided loyalty, police officer Prosper Snow is goaded into helping his friends perform a copycat killing, but when the real killer comes after him, it’s not only his life on the line, but his family’s too. Now if he goes to his colleagues for help, he risks being arrested for murder. If he doesn’t, he risks being killed.
“Shaun Jeffrey hits one out of the park with this creepy, character-driven thriller that starts with a jolt, stays in the fast lane, and plunges into the darkest territory of the human mind.”
–Jonathan Maberry, author of PATIENT ZERO
“Part mystery, part police procedural, part horror story, it’s one thrilling ride.”
–Nate Kenyon, author of THE REACH and THE BONE FACTORY

The Vital Principle, a historical mystery, is now available for $2.99. Set in the early years of the 19th century, the story is a witty glimpse into the Regency period of England.

An inquiry agent is asked to expose a spiritualist as a fraud only to uncover a murder.
In 1815, an inquiry agent, Mr. Knighton Gaunt, is asked by Lord Crowley to attend a séance with the express purpose of revealing the spiritualist as a fraud. When the séance ends abruptly, Lord Crowley is poisoned during the turmoil by an unseen killer.
Gaunt is now left to investigate not only fraud, but murder. Suspicion turns first to the spiritualist, Miss Prudence Barnard, but as Gaunt digs deeper into the twisted history of the guests at Rosecrest, he discovers more deadly secrets. Inevitably, long-time friends turn against one another as the tension mounts, and Gaunt is challenged time and time again to separate fact from fiction before another death at Rosecrest.
The Vital Principle is the first mystery in the Second Sons Inquiry Agency series and features coolly intellectual Mr. Knighton Gaunt, the agency’s founder. This witty, historical whodunit in the tradition of Bruce Alexander’s Blind Justice, will keep you guessing until the unexpected end.
“Murder, mystery, and a dash of romance combined with witty dialogue and unforgettable characters make The Vital Principle a book that will definitely go on my keeper shelf!” —Lilly Gayle, author of Into the Darkness and Slightly Tarnished.

Thanks Stacy for this opportunity. I see quite a few books I’d like to pick up!
Here is my collection of literary flash fiction:
A to Z Stories of Life and Death
http://www.amazon.com/Stories-Life-Death-ebook/dp/B005HITD4Y
Twenty-six A to Z stories, based on the twenty-six letters of the alphabet, question our moral compass: How do you judge a teacher toying with the sexuality of her teenaged student? A boy who decides to murder his mother? What thoughts rage inside a pedophile serial killer before he shoots himself? They challenge the concepts of beauty, truth, and morality, by revealing the face of the other side.
The stories focus on a crucial juncture when a character’s life changes, for the better or worse, because of a choice or decision. Some of the characters in the stories confront death, others talk about life with its quirks and whimsies. Each voice, ranging in age from a six-year-old to a centenarian, has its own riveting story to tell. Together, this collection of stories at over 12000 words attempts to prove that when it comes to stories, depth can sometimes replace length and breadth.

More than anything, young Sentu wants to learn the new letters of Pharaoh Menes’s court. Born of lowly fellahin stock, he believes his acceptance into the priesthood for study must surely be a miracle of his ka–only those borne of a higher caste are afforded such privilege.
Or so he believes.
He soon learns that not all is as holy as it appears in the privileged world of scribes and priests .
The acolytes suffer under the tutelage of Hozat, the High Priest: ritual sacrifices involve more than mere beasts, they involve anyone who stands in Hozat’s way to ultimate power. Though Sentu is at first spared much of the darkest of Hozat’s secrets, he soon realizes he cannot escape the fate of his ka forever.
When Pharaoh conquers Nubia and takes hostage that land’s powerful sorceress, Sentu’s own world crashes around him, and he has to discover whether justice is more important than forgiveness.
Formed of Clay is a study of betrayal and absolution within the rich world of ancient Egyptian mythology.

From the author of The End of the World comes a shocking new psychological thriller, Schism.
Overview:
As a boy, Horatio Higgins was ignored by the other children, but that didn’t stop him having lots of friends…friends only he could see and whom he’d regale with tales of his fantastical exploits. Eventually, though, his parents became concerned at the inordinate amount of time their son appeared to spend talking to himself and took him for treatment which, in time, proved successful…almost. One friend remained. Unfortunately it was the spiteful one.
Years later, living alone in his tiny London flat, Horatio’s loneliness is mitigated only by his acid-tongued friend and the company of what he affectionately refers to as “my wife”. After losing his job, however, his life begins a rapid downward spiral…that is, until he meets a sweet, impressionable young woman named Nore. As their relationship lurches unsteadily forward, Horatio finds himself struggling against a riptide of conflicting realities he’s ill-equipped to cope with. Can Nore save him from himself or will she, too, be dragged into a world where the line between fantasy and reality becomes increasingly and perilously blurred?
Weaving together dark humor with shocking, unsettling twists, Schism is sure to stay with you long after you’ve turned the last page.

An experiment in a weird book causes four young Americans, Nathan, Perry, Melissa, and Michelle to appear in an incredibly strange and desolate world. Trees as large as mountains, scattered across the land like oases, support all life, safe from the monsters that patrol the night fog on the ground. Races of people living in medieval societies populate the giant trees. Known as the Lorns in this particular tree, they welcome the four kids into their world—until Hellferata, the evil spirit descendent of Medusa, intrudes upon their beloved tree.
Full of vivid imagery and unbridled creativity, D. G. Sandru’s debut is as a mystical journey of enchantment, courage and the power of friendship. As the kids search for a way home, Hellferata searches for the prophesized mortal superhero she must battle to the death. Suspecting Michelle for this golden-haired superhero, Hellferata sends her son, Dracu Mort, into the Lorn Tree to kill her. Fearful of the evil spirit the Lorns move to expel the four Americans from their tree. Thinking quickly, the kids devise a plan to avoid the monsters roaming the land and travel to the next tree, where it is rumored there may be a path back home. Will their ingenuity, cunning, and courage help them make it to the Cascade Tree and find a way home, or will Hellferata and Dracu Mort mete out their wrath before they can escape?
A dramatic and heroic escape into a world full of excitement and danger, Sandru brings to life a beautiful landscape dramatically different than our own yet living from the same heartbeat. Imparting the inspiring message that fear is but a passing foil and love is the true answer, Arboregal: The Lorn Tree is a spiritual quest of hope and friendship that exposes the inherent power we all share.

She vows to move on, yet there are nights when she slips . . . into a red dress, a pair of stiletto heels, a stranger’s bed, a little anonymous oblivion that is not without consequence. Still, she imagines herself content. Until Cotton returns to reshatter her world. The old questions bite like flies, and Cotton prays to answer them, but there’s more than Livie to worry him. There’s the act of cowardice that caused him to become a fugitive in the first place . . . that crime he committed for which the legal clock is ticking. Livie wants to trust him, but then he disappears again. Time telescopes, avenues of escape close, and as lives hang in the balance, choice teeters between mercy and revenge.
THE NINTH STEP is a story of being brought to your knees to face a monstrous error and yet somehow finding the strength to make it right. Even if that decision breaks your heart, endangers your freedom and ultimately threatens your life.

Hi Stacy and thank you for a great article and an opportunity to spread the word about my INNER SPACE murder mystery trilogy.
A series of police investigations set in Great Britain with the main character ripped from his own personal Mid-Life crisis to conduct an investigation in which his boss and friend is arrested for murder.
The Banner of ‘Inner Space’ refers to the inner space of the human mind and there is a strong Paranormal feel to the stories that pulls our hero too far out of his comfort zone for his liking.
Perhaps it will do the same for you !

Hi, Stacy. Thanks for allowing us to share our work with your audience.
My novelette, The Blessed and the Damned, is a Dark Fantasy tale.
SUMMARY:
When her twin sister kidnaps her daughter, Lorna Jassan must return to Kuwar in order to find them. Her mission forces her to seek help from Weslin, a man she never wanted to see again. In the midst of her search, Lorna must keep a sixteen-year-old secret hidden, but the city has secrets of its own. Can Lorna unravel them in time to rescue her daughter and escape?
EXCERPT:
Lorna Jassan forgot how the fog smelled of ash and bone. It hung over the bay, thick and heavy, dampening all sound except the gentle lapping of waves against the Virgin Saint’s hull. Nearby, she could make out other ships in the mist. They bobbed like shadows on the waves. Fog lanterns glowed orange-yellow on their decks then disappeared as the ships passed, the soft tinkle of bells, fore and aft, the only hint that they were close and danger near.
“Captain, please prepare me a boat. I’m ready to depart the ship,” Lorna said.
“Impatient, impractical woman. Do you not listen? There are dangers in the fog,” Captain Baraheri said, disturbing the silence that surrounded them. He wore his dark hair in the religious knot of his people and a multi-colored chapan cinched around his waist with a maroon belt. He looked at her, sadness etched on his face. “I too have children and understand your plight, but this is madness.”
“I will wait no longer,” Lorna said. “My daughter is out there, lost and alone. The goddesses only know what she is going through.”
Sheridan, her man-at-arms, pulled thoughtfully on his grey-white mustache and leaned against a rail. He said nothing to choose either side, but waited for the issue to be resolved. He reminded Lorna of one of her father’s mastiffs: old, tough, reliable. She suspected he was enjoying the debate.
“There are many mysteries in the fog,” Baraheri said. “I have seen ghosts emerge from thin air and take a man’s life. I have witnessed brave men lose their minds and their courage due to the horrors of that city. They are a fierce people, suspicious of outsiders.”
“Ghost?” Sheridan asked in disbelief. “We are paladins of the Three Sisters; you can do better than try to frighten us with tales of ghost, sir?”
Captain Baraheri scratched at his beard. He glanced at Sheridan, then back at Lorna. “There are many swords in Kuwar. Twice as many daggers. Even the Iskartaya have blades.” He noted Sheridan with a slight nod of his head. “In a city of five hundred thousand, two is not an imposing number. Your gods cannot protect you; even they are outnumbered by the gods of Kuwar.”
“I will pay for a boat,” Lorna said. She extended her hand to give him a satchel of coins.
Captain Baraheri looked at her as though she offered him a snake. He raised his hands in rejection. “Only a fool accepts money from the unfortunate.” He shook his head in disgust, braced his hands against the rail and looked out into the fog. “I will give you a boat,” he whispered.
what a great post and great way of sharing e-book ideas! Thanks for the invitation to comment, Stacy.

Nahla fears she is losing it until she meets Gideon, the man with the silky smooth voice and chocolate brown hair, who seems to understand exactly what Nahla is going through.
Gideon knows the answers, but can Nahla trust him as her body begins to betray the fact that she may not be quite as human as she thought? Will Gideon be able to save Nahla from the dark spirits that are hunting them both?

Ron Ketchum saw his share of the dark side of life as a cop in Los Angeles. Then he left L.A. to become the chief of police in the Sierra Nevada resort town of Goldstrike. One sunny morning in the mountains, though, he comes upon a crime unlike anything he’s ever seen before.
He finds the body of an African-American man nailed to a tree.
The victim is a highly respected minister, and his father is the nationally known televangelist Jimmy Thunder. Ron, on the other hand, has described himself in court as a recovering bigot.
Goldstrike’s mayor for life and movie icon, Clay Steadman, wants Ron to catch the killer fast. Adding to the pressure, the victim’s grandmother comes to town. She tells the media mob that has descended on Goldstrike that God will curse the town until the killer is caught.
That’s when a rogue mountain lion begins attacking people. At first, the attacks occur on the wilderness outskirts of Goldstrike. Then the predator moves into town, leaping a fence into a family’s backyard. Finally, it turns the tables on one of the hunters sent out to bring it down.
Looking for a killer, hunting a lion and defending his own integrity — makes being a cop in L.A. seem like the good old days.

Robert Crain’s life has just been shattered. While recuperating at home from a car accident, men in ski masks break into his house and render him unconscious. When he awakens he is confronted by nightmarish truth — that the men have taken his wife and son with them.
These aren’t ordinary kidnappers. They aren’t demanding Robert to come up with ransom money. No, what they’re asking him to do is unthinkable.
As he descends into the darkest journey of his life, Robert must revisit a violent period he’d put behind him, a place he’d hoped to never return to again. But if he wants to see his family alive he will have no choice but to play the kidnapper’s bloody game… A game whose grand purpose he does not understand.
Robert has always had questions about his family. About a ghost who once stalked him in the forest when he was a boy and a mysterious oblong box he’d found in his grandmother’s attic. For years he’s had the uneasy feeling that some force from the distant past would one day rise up and call to him…
Joined by his best friend Will, Robert will stop at nothing to find his wife and son. After uncovering where they are being held, the men drive to a remote desert farmhouse to rescue them from the hands of a psychopath.
Heart-pounding and unpredictable, RED MOUNTAIN takes the reader on a suspenseful adventure like no other.

Recall! Return of the IRR by Doug DePew
Blurb:
There hadn’t been a full-scale recall of the Individual Ready Reserves since the Korean War. In January of 1991, with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union, many people believed it would take World War III to trigger a recall of the IRR. Many people were wrong.
They came from cities and farms and towns in every corner of the country. With only a few days’ notice, they quit their jobs, dropped out of college, kissed their girlfriends or wives, and got on planes to Atlanta, Georgia with nothing but the clothes on their backs. They had long hair, beards, and bad attitudes. They descended by the thousands on Fort
Benning, Georgia, and they were not happy about it at all.
In this entertaining, true story, the author relates his own experiences as one of twenty-thousand IRR recalls who were ordered back to active duty in support of Operation Desert Storm. In a story reminiscent of “The Dirty Dozen” times ten thousand, the author takes you through the entire experience from beginning to end. He carries you along for the ride and explains exactly what it was like to be a recall. With the many IRR recalls over the last ten years of warfare, this first hand account could shed some light on how the current era of recalls began. (29,000 words +/-)
