Kindle Nation Daily Free Book Alert for Sunday, August 8, 2010: A Mysterious Addition, Plus Portal by Imogen Rose (Today's Sponsor)

Three days in a row of temperatures in the 90s? We call that a heat wave. Three days in a row of free pre-orders from a Big Six agency model publisher? We’re not sure what to call it, and we’re not even sure of what this new Charles Todd title consists of, but we note it with today’s latest addition to our Free Book Alerts listings of over 100 titles ….

But first, a word from … Today’s Sponsor

(Editor’s Note: Today’s sponsoring novel is a special 99-cent treat that is already a big favorite with many Kindle Nation citizens. It’s the first book of Imogen Rose’s Portal Chronicles, and it is likely to become one of a small number of select titles recommended here to the attention of the editors at Amazon Encore…. –SW)

PORTAL (Portal Chronicles)

A Novel by Imogen Rose

$0.99

Come Find Me Two Years Ago…

Six words that propelled ice hockey playing tomboy, Arizona, into an alternate dimension.

She suddenly found herself in the past. In one moment she went from being an ice hockey playing teenager in New Jersey to a glamorous cheerleader in California. She found herself transported from a happy life with her dad, Dillard, to a new, strange one living with her mother whom she hates. Apparently it’s a life she’s always lived in.

Everyone knows her as Arizona Darley, but she isn’t. She is Arizona Stevens.

As she struggles to find answers she is certain of one thing — that her mother Olivia, a brilliant physicist, is somehow responsible. .

PORTAL is the story of the repercussions of Olivia Darley’s attempt at creating a perfect world for herself and her children. Arizona’s quest for answers threatens to undermine the seemingly perfect world that her mother has so carefully constructed.

PORTAL is the first book of the Portal Chronicles. Fans of time travel, romance, and the supernatural will enjoy Arizona’s quest for answers.

The Girl on the Beach: A Bess Crawford Mystery
By Charles Todd,

author of A Duty to the Dead

and the forthcoming An Impartial Witness: A Bess Crawford Mystery

The Postcard Killers (Special Free Preview: Book One) by James Patterson and Liza Marklund
(About 87 pages in print)

(That’s the good news. The bad news is that Patterson and his agency model publisher, Hachette, have priced pre-orders for the ebook’s August 16 release at the exorbitant and unsustainable price of $14.99.)

Paris is stunning in the summerNYPD detective Jacob Kanon is on a tour of Europe’s most gorgeous cities. But the sights aren’t what draw him–he sees each museum, each cathedral, and each cafe through the eyes of his daughter’s killer.

The killing is simply marvelous
Kanon’s daughter, Kimmy, and her boyfriend were murdered while on vacation in Rome. Since then, young couples in Paris, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, and Stockholm have been found dead. Little connects the murders, other than a postcard to the local newspaper that precedes each new victim.

Wish you were here
Now Kanon teams up with the Swedish reporter, Dessie Larsson, who has just received a postcard in Stockholm–and they think they know where the next victims will be. With relentless logic and unstoppable action, The Postcard Killers may be James Patterson’s most vivid and compelling thriller yet.
