The audiobook of Dead or Alive (UNABRIDGED) [Audible Audio Edition] by Tom Clancy & Grant Blackwood, Narrated by Lou Diamond Phillips is available for FREE download on the Audible.Com site (prob until Dec 2)! Enjoy! This is supposed to be a Kindle with Special Offers promo, but with this download link, anyone can actually get it for free!

Product Description:

Dead or Alive brings together – for the first time – an all-star cast of Clancy’s greatest characters in a joint showdown with global terrorists.

Jack Ryan, the former president of the United States, is out of office, but not out of the loop about his brainchild, the “Campus” – a highly effective, counter-terrorism organization that operates outside the Washington hierarchy. But what Ryan doesn’t know is that his son, Jack Ryan, Jr., has joined his cousins, Brian and Dominic Caruso, at the shadowy Campus. While a highly effective analyst, young Ryan hungers for the action of a field agent.

The Campus has now turned their sights on the Emir, the number-one terrorist threat to Western civilization. A reclusive figure and mastermind of vicious terrorist acts, the Emir has eluded capture by the world’s law-enforcement agencies. But now – with the help of ex-CIA agent John Clark and protégé Marine Colonel Ding Chavez – the Campus is in on the hunt.

In a fast-paced, intense performance, film and television star Lou Diamond Phillips narrates the story of their mission – to bring in the Emir, dead or alive.

Kindle Daily Deal! JFK by L. Fletcher Prouty for $0.99!

November 30, 2011 Leave a comment

I like this new promo by Amazon! We get a special Kindle Daily Deal!

Each day we’re unveiling a new Kindle book at a specially discounted price. Check back daily to see what’s next. Deals go live at approximately 12:00 A.M., Pacific time.

FYI: Amazon has price matched the Nook deal for today, so The Reasons for Marriage by Stephanie Laurens now also $1.89!

And the new deal is…

JFK‘ by L. Fletcher Prouty from Skyhorse Publishing is now available at the specially discounted price of $0.99 on the US Kindle site.

Book Description

Colonel L. Fletcher Prouty, the former CIA operative known as ‘X,’ offers a history-shaking perspective on the assassination of president John F. Kennedy. His theories were the basis for Oliver Stone’s controversial movie JFK. Prouty believed that Kennedy’s death was a coup d’etat, and he backs this belief up with his knowledge of the security arrangements at Dallas and other tidbits that only a CIA insider would know (for example, that every member of Kennedy’s cabinet was abroad at the time of Kennedy’s assassination). His discussion of the elite power base he believes controlled the U.S. government will scare and enlighten anyone who wants to know who was really behind the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

About the Author
L. Fletcher Prouty (1917–2001), a retired colonel of the U.S. Air Force, served as the chief of special operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the Kennedy years. He was directly in charge of the global system designed to provide military support for the clandestine activities of the CIA. He was also the author of The Secret Team: The CIA and Its Allies.

The Shy Miss!
Notoriously charming Jason, Duke of Eversleigh, could easily see behind Miss Lenore’s brilliant disguise. Though the awkward lady hid behind glasses and pulled-back hair, she couldn’t cover her beauty. And Jason was ever determined to loosen the hold she had on her heart.

Amazon UK Kindle Daily Deal! Wrong Man Running by Alan Hruska for £0.99!

November 30, 2011 Leave a comment

Hey, Amazon UK Kindlers, you get your own special Kindle Daily Deal too!

Each day we will unveil one book in the Kindle Daily Deal at a specially discounted price–for that day only. Deals go live at midnight and ends 23:59 the same day.

And the new deal is…

Wrong Man Running‘ by Alan Hruska from Thomas & Mercer is now available at the specially discounted price of £0.99 on the UK Kindle site. (The US Kindle edition is priced at $7.99!)

Book Description

At the beginning of this compelling novel, Rick Cornith—driven careerist, brilliant prosecutor, and the heir apparent to the district attorney’s job in Manhattan—is assigned a case involving a series of increasingly sadistic rapes. When the victims, all prominent women at the acme of their careers, begin identifying Cornith as their assailant, he takes flight.

No one who knows him well believes him capable of committing such shocking crimes, including his ex-wife. His children, made to suffer at school, are hurt and confused. And yet the evidence against him keeps mounting. When his ex-wife is herself sexually attacked, she in turn pegs Cornith as the culprit.

Attorney-turned-novelist Alan Hruska’s Wrong Man Running is the story of Cornith’s frantic search to find the man he thinks framed him and the psychological challenges of confronting the possibility that he might be liable for the heinous rapes several women have claimed he committed. Sharp and haunting, Hruska masterfully ratchets up the suspense in this deftly written novel, penning a taut legal thriller in the vein of Scott Turow and John Grisham.

Kindle Daily Deal! Empire of Dreams by Giannina Braschi for $0.99!

November 29, 2011 Leave a comment

I like this new promo by Amazon! We get a special Kindle Daily Deal!

Each day we’re unveiling a new Kindle book at a specially discounted price. Check back daily to see what’s next. Deals go live at approximately 12:00 A.M., Pacific time.

FYI: Amazon has price matched the Nook deal for today, so 100 Bible Verses Everyone Should Know by Heart by Robert J. Morgan now also $3.75!

And the new deal is…

Empire of Dreams‘ by Giannina Braschi from AmazonCrossing is now available at the specially discounted price of $0.99 on the US Kindle site.

Book Description

An intriguing and hypnotizing work of postmodern fiction from groundbreaking Hispanic-American writer Giannina Braschi, Empire of Dreams chronicles a decade-long love affair with 1980s New York and all its contradictions. The city’s perversions and passions, power and marginality, grandeur and squalor come vibrantly to life in each of the book’s three sections. “Book of Clowns and Buffoons” imagines life in the city as a carnival-style spectacle that ultimately ends in chaos. Inspired by the Puerto Rican Day parade, a bucolic celebration reclaims the city in “Pastoral.” And “The Intimate Diary of Solitude” spoofs the magical realism of Latin American novelists such as Gabriel Garcia Marquez with its tale of aspiring actress-writer Mariquita Samper, who records the days of her increasingly outlandish life in a mystical diary.

Wildly imaginative, rich and complex, Empire of Dreams has garnered glowing praise for being “an ‘in-your-face assertion’ of the vitality of Latino culture in the US” (New York Daily News).

Bargain Alert! Round-up of Discounted Bonus-Edition eBooks from Harper Collins!

November 29, 2011 Leave a comment

HarperCollins usually releases these specially discounted bonus-edition ebooks as promo for authors who have new books coming out. Thought I’d round them up today!

Devil’s Bride (Cynster Novels) with Bonus Material by Stephanie Laurens (HarperCollins) is currently discounted down to $0.99 (pre-order). (*The edition without the bonus content is priced at $6.99) *Also bargain priced at Barnes & Noble!

Product Description:

Where it all began. . . The Cynsters!

When Devil, the most infamous member of the Cynster family, is caught in a compromising position with plucky governess Honoria Wetherby, he astonishes the entire town by offering his hand in marriage. No one dreamed this scandalous rake would ever take a bride. And as society mamas swooned at the loss of England’s most eligible bachelor, Devil’s infamous Cynster cousins began to place wagers on the wedding date.

But Honoria wasn’t about to bend society’s demands and marry a man “just” because they’d been found together virtually unchaperoned. No, she craved adventure, and while solving the murder of a young Cynster cousin fit the bill for a while, she decided that once the crime was solved she’d go off to see the world. But the scalding heat of her unsated desire for Devil soon had Honoria craving a very different sort of excitement. Could her passion for Devil cause her to embrace the enchanting peril of a lifelong adventure of the heart?

Now with special bonus material, including Q&As with the author and a sneak peek at other books by Stephanie Laurens!
