Kindle Nation Daily Bargain Book Alert: Ken Pence’s AT FIRST THOUGHT is Our eBook of the Day at just $2.99, with 5.0 Stars on 2 Reviews, and Here’s a Free Sample!

Here’s the set-up for Ken Pence’s At First Thought, just $2.99 on Kindle:

Robert Thales, an otherwise unremarkable cop in a mid-sized city, is developing an ability to read minds. This ability gets him promoted from a report writing car to a solo car in a high crime area.

His work in the high crime area gets him noticed – not in a good way. The economy of the city teeters except where illicit drug sales and adult businesses are concerned. Criminals can’t launder their illicit monies fast enough and the business leaders can’t get the loans they need.

Financing the new convention center requires billions in municipal bonds and this need is the root of a political takeover. The formerly unremarkable cop is thrown into the middle of the scheme. Everyone is trying to get Thales out of the picture.

How can he get the Feds to prosecute a case that nobody wants — and do something in only one month?

Injured, out-of-work, and hounded by hired guns; he may not live long enough to perfect his talent.

The reader plunges into the mind of a young street cop who is faced with current and developing criminal conspiracies. The criminal leader becomes obsessed with removing this threat. Business leaders are drawn into a criminal web of murder and extortion through their quest for good investments. Reading minds may help in sexual encounters but its not living up to its potential anywhere else.

This 70,000 word novel must be fiction because the D.A. and federal authorities would do anything to stop this type of crime if these crimes were happening today. Wouldn’t they?

From the reviewers:

The idea of mind reading can be tough to pull off, but in At First Thought it is done very well. The protagonist suddenly discovers he can read minds and then goes on a journey to pull down a corrupt crime lord who is running the politics of the city. Set in a future Nashville that is somewhat reminiscent of today. Overall, a great read, but do be warned this book has some explicit sex scenes so it may not be for your 8 year old.  —  Drew Scoggins

On a given day, any time I started to read this book, I simply could not put it down!!!  To me, Thales’ character is kind of an everyman with mental powers…. His reactions made sense for the average Joe who was suddenly given the power to read minds. That includes the ways in which Thales, like any other human being, takes advantage of his new abilities for his own personal Gaines;I don’t know which is funnier: Thales’ reactions to what he reads from people’s minds, or other people’s reactions to Thales’ behavior after he reads their minds…Again, a compelling read and a must-get!!!  –  Birddog

BRAINRUSH II, The Enemy of My Enemy

by Richard Bard

87 Out of 88 Rave Reviews!
Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled

 

Kindle Edition: $0.99

 

Here’s the set-up:

This is Book-2 of the highly-acclaimed bestselling series. It is recommended you read Book-1 first. On sale now for only 99 cents, or borrow it for free in the Kindle Lending Library.

Praise for Brainrush, a Thriller (Book I):

  • “Brainrush explores the bonds of friendship while pushing the boundaries of science, creating a compelling, action-packed thriller with a climax that’s a knock-out!”- CJ Lyons, New York Times Best-Selling Author
  • “A terrifically entertaining thriller. Especially successful is Bronson, an amiable, low-key tough guy able to rescue his princess, survive brutality, and retain a sense of humor.”- Publishers Weekly #1*
  • “Rich characters, crackling dialogue, and a climactic sequence that is stunning, enervating, and innovative all at once. Richard Bard is a voice to be reckoned with.” – Rebecca Forster, USA Today Best-Selling Author
  • “An inventive and compelling hybrid of science fiction, adventure, and political thriller. Rather than end the novel with a simple rescue operation, however, this author provides a far more intriguing and unexpected conclusion.- Publishers Weekly #2*
  • “Coming out of something stronger is usually a good thing, but Jake Bronson quickly realizes some things are just as much blessings as they are curses. “Brainrush” follows Jake Bronson as he comes into new cognitive powers, but finds him targeted by both sides of the war on terror, as he embarks on a worldwide journey to save his daughter, and maybe humanity along the way. “Brainrush” is a fine and hard to put down thriller, recommended.” – Midwest Book Review, Carl Logan, Reviewer
 *Publishers Weekly review based on the unpublished manuscript.

Jake Bronson returns in Book II of the acclaimed thriller/adventure series by bestselling author, Richard Bard.

Former combat pilot Jake Bronson believed the worst was behind him. But when a sophisticated terrorist cell shows up in his home town, he’s drawn into a conflict that threatens the heart and soul of every mother in America. The bonds of love and loyalty are tested as Jake and his friends are swept into a deadly chase that takes them from the beaches of California, to the depths of the world’s longest underground river, and finally to the remote jungles of the Venezuelan rain forest—where Jake discovers that it will take far more than his enhanced abilities to prevent what is coming.

About the Author

In 1976 young Air Force pilot Richard Bard was diagnosed with cancer and learned that he had only a few months to live. Thirty-six years later he’s still going strong. Now he writes about second chances in the Brainrush thriller series. He currently resides with his wonderful wife in Redondo Beach, California.  “BRAINRUSH II, The Enemy of My Enemy” is the second book of the series. For more information visit RichardBard.com.

Here’s the set-up:

A stranger enters a dying town and makes a desperate plea…

The Kayson Cycle introduces the Kayson Brothers, a pair of faith healers who once wowed crowds in a traveling show but went their separate ways after a night in which a healing took a dark turn. Jeffrey Kayson disappeared into the wilderness and William Kayson, wracked by guilt, moved to the failing mining town of Calico Hills to build a nice, quiet life – one that has lasted for over ten years.

His quiet, predictable life crumbles when a mysterious stranger walks into his tavern bearing a proposal to find his long-lost brother and do the one thing that William has sworn to never do again – have his brother heal a woman. William soon learns that he can’t escape his family – or his destiny.

100% of royalties go to Doctors Without Borders. Includes a sample chapter of The Corridors of the Dead. Please note that this is a Kindle Single, and around 6,000 words in length.

Here’s the set-up:

On what should be the happiest day of her life, Rebecca Ross is panic stricken. Rebecca has just wed Craig Jacobs, but she realizes she put more thought into choosing her florist than she did in choosing the man she’s just pledged to love for the rest of her life.

Before Craig, Rebecca, a talented Long Island girl, dreamed of following in her grandmother’s footsteps with an acting career. Unfortunately, she was cut down to size by years of disappointment, and by her first love—a Hollywood director. She returned to Long Island a lost and broken woman, and ended up in the last place she ever wanted: her old bedroom at her parents’ house.

But Rebecca’s mother, an overzealous convert to Judaism, has a long held dream too: marry off her three daughters to Jewish men. So no one is more thrilled than her when Rebecca meets and marries bon vivant Craig Jacobs, the man who has won over the whole family. Too bad they’re all about to discover that underneath his charismatic shell, this Prince Charming is anything but!
“Wedlocked is a funny, warm, and engaging story about life, love, marriage and family. This page-turner is the perfect summer read!” —Wendy Walker, bestselling author of Social Lives

Finding Clarity: A Mom, A Dwarf and a Posh Private School in the People’s Republic of Berkeley

by Laura Novak

4.8 stars – 34 Reviews
Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled

 

Here’s the set-up:
  • “Novak is as funny as Janet Evanovich, as clever a plotter as Sue Grafton, and as deft in creating compelling characters as Laura Lippman.”
  • “Laura Novak may be the Erma Bombeck of mystery writers. The pace and wit of her writing makes Finding Clarity a delight from cover to cover.”

Clari Drake was once a former hot shot TV reporter of ample proportions who took San Francisco by storm. Now, Clari is a middle-aged, misfit mom who tops 200 pounds and wears Birkenstocks with woolen socks in the city everyone loves to laugh at, quirky Berkeley, California. The fur flies when Clari takes on the ruling class at her son’s elite academy where the beloved headmaster is let go and a loser from Las Vegas takes his place. Clari suspects the wealthy folks running the school are up to financial malfeasance and strange social shenanigans. So she teams up with an impossibly odd posse to right some wrongs and reclaim her glory days with the biggest story of her career. But in the process, Clari causes major problems for the rich power brokers whom she loves to hate, while working in weekly visits to Weight Watchers. Join Clari as she answers the questions: Who am I? Where do I belong? And what’s in the new Ikea catalogue?

“One part Carl Hiaasen, one part Lewis Grizzard, and a whole lot of Susan Isaacs…Laura Novak hits a home run by finding clarity, and hilarity, in Berkeley.”

About the Author

Laura Novak is a career journalist, debut novelist. She has worked for ABC News in London and New York, for Fox News in the Bay Area, and for a small radio station in Sacramento where she sat next to a guy named Rush Limbaugh. She has written extensively for The New York Times on health, business and the arts.
