The Sable City (The Norothian Cycle), by M. Edward McNally. (Still free?)Author McNally sums up this 450+ page epic fantasy as follows: "It's basically a character piece about Tilda Lanai, trying to hold down a job, help out her friends, and survive the day-to-day. With a couple dragons thrown in, of course." Today's your chance to get this book for free!
"This is the kind of fantasy that makes me remember why I enjoyed it growing up. There's plenty of action and adventure; swords and sorcery; politics and intrigue, but it's ultimately a character-driven story." -- Big Al's Books and Pals
The desperate search for the exiled heir of her Trade House leads Matilda Lanai across a war-torn continent and to the gates of the Sable City, where centuries ago dark magic almost destroyed the world. Along with a sinister sorceress, a broken-hearted samurai, and a miscreant mercenary long on charm but lousy with a crossbow, Tilda must brave the demon-infested ruins. Only then can she find John Deskata, who may not want to be found at all.

A Deal with a Stranger - A Romantic Mystery Novel set in Sardinia, by Martina Munzittu. (Still free?)A romantic mystery, highly-praised in reviews as a "brilliant" and "emotionally penetrating" novel. Yours free today!
"This is a delightful book to read. The detail of the surroundings in the beautiful Sardinia, the food, and family life make you feel you are really there as you follow Clara about on her unusual mission. The author has clearly done her research (I didn't know that Angus Young of the Australian rock band AC/DC is Scottish!). Throughout the book you are guessing at who or what the mysterious stranger is and how much is Clara being manipulated. Does Clara have a wonderful opportunity, or is she a patsy? This is a entertaining book and I highly recommend it. But Clara has way too many shoes... " -- RJ, Amazon reviewer
Clara is happy with her life in Sardinia. She has a wonderful family, great friends, and most of all, Paolo, the boyfriend she adores. Summer is approaching, with its bright promises, and she knows that Paolo will propose soon.
However, things turn out differently: Paolo leaves Clara, when she least expects it. Her whole world crumbles and from that point onwards, things start to take an unusual turn.
Clara is approached by Lucilla, a mysterious girl who offers to help. She can win Paolo back for her, but in return, Clara has to fulfil a bizarre request. Nothing makes sense to Clara from then onwards, but she's prepared to fight to get Paolo back.
But everything comes at a price. How can Clara keep her double life hidden from family and friends? Who is, in reality, Lucilla? Can Clara really trust her? Will the reward justify all the struggles along the way?

Shaman, Healer, Heretic (Olivia Lawson Techno-Shaman), by M. Terry Green. (Still free?)Get this book that Publisher's Weekly says "could easily open up a whole new world of urban fantasy." Free today!
"This is incredibly original, and it hooked me almost immediately - the beginning is shocking and memorable. The image of waking up to find an ethereal spirit in your room playing music and setting off painful blue sparks is immediately burned on the reader's memory is a very visceral way - I'm fairly certain I've never read anything quite like this. Furthermore, I'm incredibly impressed with the pacing and how well details and backstory are doled out over the piece - a great job has been done trusting the reader and not succumbing to the temptation of a major "info-dump" at the beginning." -- Ana Mardoll, Amazon Top 100 reviewer

Even for a techno-shaman, a kachina in the bedroom isn't exactly part of the drill. When Olivia Lawson wakes to find one towering over her, she panics. A Hopi god visiting the real world isn't just wrong-it's impossible.
Or is it?
Soon Olivia learns that the kachina is the least of her worries. As she struggles to save her clients, clashes with other shamans, and fends off the attacks of real-world vigilantes, Olivia finds herself in the destructive path of a malevolent ancient force intent on leaving the spiritual realm to conquer this one.
Left with few options, Olivia is forced to defy centuries of shaman prohibitions. As she and her allies risk everything in their bid for survival, Olivia ultimately learns that the rules are there for a reason and that breaking them has a terrible cost.

Pandora's Genes, by Kathryn Lance. (Still free?)Here's a (somewhat) oldie but a (definite) goodie in the Sci-Fi genre. Originally published in 1985, it's available now on Kindle - normally $2.99, but free today.
"I read this award-winning sci-fi novel in paperback last year, and it blew me away. I know it was written in the mid-1980s, but it's even more relevant to what's happening in the U.S. right now. In Lance's dystopian tale, set in the late 21st century, all modern technology has been destroyed, a consequence of using genetically-engineered bacteria to clean up a massive oil spill. The microbes consumed all petroleum-based products, including plastics, and released germ warfare materials as the stoppers on test tubes dissolved. Against this backdrop, an unusual love triangle emerges, with the young scientist, Evvy, at its center." -- A.B., Amazon reviewer
Pandora's Genes, named to the Locus Recommended List and "Best New Science Fiction" of 1985 by Romance Times, is a post-holocaust romantic adventure novel set in the late 21st century. The world of Pandora's Genes and of its sequel, Pandora's Children, is devastated after an oil-spill disaster has led to the end of civilization. Many animal and insect species are extinct or mutated, and there are no remnants of what we consider modern technology.
The spread of a deadly new disease that selectively kills women is the plot point that sets the story in motion. Both novels focus on two opposed groups: one, led by The Principal and his scientist allies, hopes to find a cure for the "woman sickness" and restore some semblance of civilization; their antagonists, The Traders, a fanatical religious group, is dedicated to the final, total eradication of all remnants of "science" and the "wild deena" (DNA) that science loosed on the world.
Against this science fictional background is set an unusual love triangle involving two men and the young girl that they both love. These three protagonists--Evvy, the beautiful and brilliant young scientist; The Principal, the strong but flawed leader; and Zach, a warrior-poet and the Principal's right-hand man--alternate as the main POV character in both books.

The Day I Left, by Jason Korolenko. (Still free?)This dark psychological thriller looks intriguing - from the reviews, and the sample, it packs a lot of punch into a few words. Free today!
"I love a story that makes me think. This novel definitely falls into that category. The author takes you on a beautifully orchestrated ride on the edge of reality, and does so without wasting words. I look forward to more from this author." -- K. Gamble, Amazon reviewer
"THE DAY I LEFT is a ghost story, a murder mystery, and a descent into madness, where between France and Arizona the protagonist faces his past catching up with, and overcoming, his presence. I'm walking away from this book feeling dizzy and uncertain of my own circumstance." - Best-Selling author Craig Childs
Jarrod Nelson, a twenty-something American studying in France, is in love with his professor's sister, Caroline. But the professor's sudden, violent death drives a wedge between the lovers, and Jarrod finds himself struggling with demons he thought he'd buried long ago. How far will Jarrod go to win Caroline back? And how far will Caroline go to stay away?
A tale of love and madness, the bastard child of BAG OF BONES and SHUTTER ISLAND, THE DAY I LEFT will get its hooks into you on the first page and not let go until well after the last.

Well, this book proposes to turn your conceptions of dieting upside down. Try it free today! From Jan Smith, editor of editor BeautyTopToToe.com.
"This book hits the problem right on the head. Diet Boredom. The reason I can't lose weight and keep it off is I get bored. The excite diet solves that problem by giving 50 different diets and exercise plans to lose weight. You can mix and match and even work in days for eating out or enjoying your favorite sin food." -- J. Turner, Amazon reviewer
If you've ever been on a diet you'll know how boring it can get sticking to the rules. You start out full of determination but after a few days you're fed up with the "delicious" food and the "easy" exercise routine you're supposed to do and you've had enough.
The EXCITE diet is different.
You have 50 different daily plans to choose from. Some days focus on diet. Some on fun activities. You pick and choose what you want to do. You never have to stick to anything more than a day and every day is different.
If you feel like a burger, there's "Bacon Double Cheeseburger Day". If you want a fun day out and still lose weight, try "Shopping Day", "New Activity" or "Course You Can Day". There are days to cope with birthdays and holidays, days for when you crave cake or chocolate or anything at all. (You can truly eat whatever it is you love and still lose weight!)
There are days to keep you losing weight when you are busy and days to give you an extra boost when you want to lose weight fast. There are even days to help give you a push when motivation is low.
One of these 50 Days will work for every day you want to lose weight whatever your circumstances - and you get to choose.
Try them all (or only the ones that appeal). Find the ones you love to do and then rinse and repeat until you reach your target weight.
It's not difficult to stick to your diet when it's only for a day. You do that every time you start a new diet. With this one you get a fresh start every day.
Lose Weight One Day And One Pound At A Time!
Why not pick a day right now and get started?
