Here's the set-up:
Like John Grisham and D.W. Buffa, award-winning author J.D. Trafford created a smart legal thriller that keeps the reader turning pages.Michael Collins burned his suits and ties in a beautiful bonfire before leaving New York and taking up residence at Hut No. 7 in a run-down Mexican resort. He dropped-out, giving up a future of billable hours and big law firm paychecks. But, there are millions of dollars missing from a client's account and a lot of people who want Michael Collins to come back. When his girlfriend is accused of murder, he knows that there really isn't much choice. "No Time To Run" has been an Amazon Top 100 bestseller and a best-selling Amazon Legal Thriller. SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY PRICE in celebration of the release of Book #2----"No Time To Die"---- the sequel to "No Time To Run"

  1. Betsy Woodward on June 3, 2011 at 3:56 pm

    LOVE the new search tool! How about adding a category for Literary Fiction? Keep up the GREAT work.

    • Kindle Nation on June 3, 2011 at 8:17 pm

      Thanks, Betsy! Great minds think alike — we’re working on it, but it requires a bit more assembly than some of the more straightforward categories.

  2. ed Kimmey on June 4, 2011 at 10:22 am

    very good

  3. Marilyn Levy on June 4, 2011 at 3:29 pm

    Why is the print font so, so small? It is almost invisible!

    • Kindle Nation on June 5, 2011 at 8:42 am

      Hi Marilyn, that’s easy to control on your browser — just hold down the CONTROL key and hit the + key (CTRL++) … or on a Mac hold down the COMMAND or APPLE key and hit the + ky (COMMAND++)

      Hope that helps!

  19. PeterBHayward on February 20, 2012 at 4:06 pm

    This combination of thriller and mysteries needs to be separated into Mysteries and thrillers as it is on Amazon. IMHO, the people who read about the supernatural and the people who read what we traditionally call mysteries are two different populations.

    Follow Amazon’s example of Kindle book listings.
