Fallen Palm (Jesse McDermitt Series Book 1), by Wayne Stinnett. (Still free?)

"He writes with authority, and a clean, pure understanding of South Florida that even seasoned writers would envy. Stinnett allows you to taste and feel each situation and this debut of enticing characters and dicey situations makes for great reading." -- Michael Reisig - Clear Creek Press

Fallen Hunter, the next book in the series, is reduced in price from 12/30 to 1/3.

Fallen Out, the first book in the series, is featured in the Seven Seas Mysteries collection of 7 best selling thrillers at a very low price. You can find it linked here, or on my author page.


Jesse McDermitt lives alone on an isolated island in the Florida Keys where he runs a charter fishing business. Retired from the Marine Corps for six years, he wanted nothing more than to relax, fish, dive and enjoy the laid back lifestyle of the islands.

Russ, his former Platoon Sergeant and old friend, dies unexpectedly in a mysterious scuba diving accident and Jesse becomes suspicious. When his friend's son comes to south Florida to ask Jesse if he would take him to a remote reef to spread his father's ashes, the two men discover that Russ was murdered and agree to hunt down the psychotic killer together, unaware that their manhunt will lead them to a Caribbean terrorist cell.

Meanwhile, a beautiful woman has returned to the Keys on a manhunt of her own, distracting Jesse with the idea that he could finally leave his warrior past behind. The prospect of finding lost Confederate gold, several high speed boat chases and dodging demented killers, won't stop Jesse from revenge. Surviving a powerful hurricane puts everything on hold as a top secret government agency tries to recruit him into their fold.

When the sun comes back out, will Jesse be ready?

Divine Witness, by Ryan Seek. (Still free?)

"The scenes move quickly and most are quite exciting, making it a hard book to put down. He kind of writes like Richard Laymon with alot of dialogue and just enough description to let you picture each scene. There is no doubt I like this guy's style, but the thing that really stands out about this book are the characters. Within the first 30 pages or so you are already firmly attached to the main characters, two twelve year old boys who both have very unique personalities." -- Amazon reviewer

At first, Nick Morrison and Trevor Devane believe that solving a thirty-year-old mystery should be easy; even for two twelve-year-old boys.

Using Nick's psychic visions of the crime, they decide to piece together enough clues to identify the killer and capture the $10,000 reward. It soon becomes apparent that the boys are digging up bones that others would prefer remain buried. The harassment begins slowly with members of the local police force and quickly escalates into a serious threat to the young boys' investigation...and their lives!

As the boys dodge their pursuers and continue to gather clues, they begin to realize that the mystery may go much deeper than just the local police force. It appears there are even more powerful people trying to keep the past right where it is...buried and forgotten.

Trespass: A Suspense Thriller (The Darkeningstone Book 2), by Mikey Campling. (Still 0.99?)

Save $3 today with this Kindle Countdown Deal!

"Mikey Campling whisks us back and forth across the years, from the present day quarry, through the quarry being worked in the early 20th Century, right back to the time when the monolith was first discovered aeons ago, and how it is being guarded. It is extremely well written and a real page turner. Story construction is good, and dialogue works well in several styles, including conversations in a bygone age, between quarry workers in 1939, father and son in the present day, and a group of teenage tearaways. All realistically described, this story takes us into its very heart as we see the inexorable paths of each time zone connecting." -- Amazon reviewer

Five men, separated by five thousand years, their destinies bound by one discovery.
 

Somewhere, sometime, the Darkeningstone is waiting for you.

Trespass combines gritty, edgy modern-day action with a thrilling adventure across time. Discovered over 5,000 years ago, the Darkeningstone affects everyone who finds it.

Jake was too smart to believe the rumours about Scaderstone Pit, but now he's in more danger than he could ever have imagined.

In 1939, as World War II looms, the lives of two men will be changed forever.

Over 5,000 years ago, a hermit will keep the stone a secret. But someone is watching him - someone with murder in his heart.

When it finds you, what will you see when you look into The Darkeningstone?

The Nature of Change: A 12 Step Journey to Mastering Conscious Change by Ditching Materialism and Embracing your Wildly Natural Self, by Sharon Johnston. (Still free?)

"The Nature of Change is a powerful book that takes the reader on a journey to self-discovery of their wild life potential. Sharon's style of writing is personable and deep - through sharing her story, you understand that she's been through a lot of change, and that living an authentic, natural life is culmination of a lot of hard work and determination to reconnect with the universe and be her true self. I love the way the book is laid out, clearly showing the stages of change, from seed to seedling to sapling, from tree to seed sower - all with practical "wild life principles" at the end of each chapter as well as strategies to make positive changes throughout the journey." -- Amazon reviewer

Save $3 today with this Kindle Countdown Deal!

"This indie gem stole my heart with its fun humor, endearing characters, and thrilling moments. The transition from funny to chilling was at times immediate, combining these two elements very enjoyably." -- Wickedly Bookish

A little magic can go a long way -- to really screwing up a girl's life!

Mara is having the worst month of her life. At least, that's what her cards tell her and they've never been wrong. She's evicted from her apartment, loses her job and is banned from Beverly Hills. So when the tarot cards predict her imminent demise, she uses a little magic to make her world right.

Suddenly, an aunt she's never met dies, leaving Mara as her sole heir. But when Mara moves into her inherited home, she discovers Aunt Tillie never moved out. She's still one pissed-off old lady, even post-mortem, and she blames Mara's magical meddling for her death.

When Mara accidentally releases a demon and awakens the spirit of the most powerful witch in history, Tillie's ready to kill her -- literally. It's the only way she can think of to save the girl from herself.

The witch and the demon, however, have other plans for Mara's body!

This is a full-length novel, at 88,500 words (332 pages).

Fun House Chronicles, by Linda B. Myers. (Still 0.99?)

This poignant novel is $2 off today.

"Set in a nursing home, this book takes a subject many of us don't give much thought to, and spins a tale that draws you in from page one. It's the story of Lily, an unconventional senior who isn't going anywhere without a fight, and the people around her. As her daughter Sylvia comes to realise, "...if you didn't have the family you were born into, you got yourself another one". Lily's 'family' grows to include a number of interesting and surprising characters; I'm so looking forward to meeting some of them again in the promised follow-up. A great read - and three cheers for a heroine well out of her teens!" -- Amazon reviewer

WHEN YOU GROW OLD, WHEN YOUR BODY BECOMES ITS OWN WORST ENEMY, WHAT HAPPINESS CAN POSSIBLY REMAIN?

Lily Gilbert is pissed. She’s lost one leg to diabetes, and the next infection could kill her. She enters a nursing home ready to flout authority and kick administrative butt until the chill realities of institutionalization nearly flatten her. She soon calls it the Fun House for the scary sights and sounds that await her there.

Lily grapples with suicide until she becomes drawn in by the other residents and staffers – a quirky and eccentric crew with enough idiosyncrasies of their own to keep Lily intrigued. Prepare for more than a few surprises along the way.

Broken for a Purpose, by Gisela Yohannan. (Still free?)

"Gisela Yohannan presents the truth with sensitivity but without sugarcoating. She uses simple languages to explain something so complicated as human suffering. Great book. Intelligently written. Profound message with straight to the point practicality. I failed to recognize a thread seaming all chapters –or maybe there isn't one, but each chapter, independently, convey a valuable lesson. This is not a “one-time-read” kind of book. It is a reference book for inquisitive minds." -- Amazon reviewer


“If God loves me, why am I going through so many trials?”

If that is your question, hope awaits you in this sensitive book.
With great Scriptural reverence, Gisela walks with you through the veil of brokenness and shares transparently what God has taught her through much heartache.

You will discover:
  • Your infinite value to God
  • God's purposes and methods of testing
  • The key to gaining new strength
  • How to overcome, rather than suppress, your problems

Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents, by Marty Essen. (Still 0.99?)

This award-winning book for all ages is a steal today at 99 cents!

"Informative, fun, fearless! I just finished reading Marty's book on Kindle, and I loved it! There were several terrifying moments that really made me admire the couple's courage. Marty's humor made me laugh out loud in some spots, and his writing style is a pleasure to read. Even an arm chair adventurer like me could enjoy the experience of a lifetime through Marty's delightful book. The photos were marvelous and were an integral part of the journey. Thanks so much for a wonderful ride." -- Amazon reviewer

Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents follows Marty and Deb Essen on a three-and-a-half-year-long adventure to some of the wildest places on all seven continents.

The American couple began crisscrossing the globe with the simple intention of searching for rare and interesting wildlife. When their travels coincided with the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the added element made them unwitting ambassadors for peace. Their experiences--from amusing to life threatening--changed their lives forever.

This is not your average travelogue. Marty Essen has written a book that entertains, informs, and poignantly reminds us that we all share a small planet.

Locations visited include: Belize, Peru (the Amazon Rainforest), Argentina, Australia (Queensland), Canada (Alberta, British Columbia, Yukon Territory, and Northwest Territories), Antarctica, Europe (Spain, France, Switzerland, and Andorra), Malaysia (Borneo), and Africa (Zimbabwe).

455 pages, with a 4.5-star rating from 40 reviews.
