A riveting, candid, fresh and self-revealing kiss-and-tell by one of Hollywood’s most interesting women is today’s latest addition to our Free Book Alert listings in the Kindle Store….
Forget everything you thought you knew about unicorns and maidens…
I couldn’t put this book down. The book pulled me in from page one and did not let go, even at the end which had me searching for the sequel. –Red Adept Reviews
Bernheimer’s first Spirals of Destiny novel is an intriguing story from the onset and only picks up steam or, in the case of Kayleigh Reese, kindles to flame! –Terry W. Ervin II, Author of Flank Hawk
A tightly-written, well-thought-out, solidly entertaining first installment in what promises to be an “unputdownable” series. In fact, Mr. Bernheimer could be in serious danger of breaking through into the big time… The work of a born talent! –The Book Trolley
This is not your parents’ unicorn story. As soon as I turned the last page, I was eager for the next book! –David Debord, Author of The Absent Gods
A unicorn is not supposed to survive the death of its rider, but Majherri did. Now he is a pariah, mistrusted by the Greater Herd. To reclaim his lost honor and status, he will entrust the remnants of his life to a new human female while unraveling the mystery of his continued existence. Kayleigh Reese is not Battle Maiden material. She’s three years older than any other recruit and has enjoyed a peaceful, nomadic life working with her artist mother. The rigors of joining the High-King’s elite unicorn cavalry are clearly not for her. Now, with a bond to Majherri, she must overcome her mother’s disapproval, the ire of her commanding officer and fellow trainees, and, most importantly, the secrets of her unicorn’s past if she is to become a legendary warrior. To prevail, they must quickly come together as a team and unlock the powerful and dangerous magic inside them.

Cybill Disobedience
and Aimee Lee Ball
“Gutsy.” — — San Francisco Examiner
“Nobody kisses and tells like Cybill Shepherd.” — — New York Daily News
‘How I survived beauty pageants, Elvis, sex, Bruce Willis, lies, marriage, motherhood, Hollywood, and the irrepressible urge to say what you think.’
From wholesome beauty queen to saucy cover girl, from heartbreaking movie star (THE LAST PICTURE SHOW, TAXI DRIVER) to one of television’s most loved comediennes (MOONLIGHTING, CYBILL), Cybill Shepherd is renowned as sassy, shocking and sexy. In CYBILL DISOBEDIENCE, she opens her heart with the wit and honesty of a star who’s seen and knows it all.
The Vince Flynn for the 21st Century is here!–John Fasano, producer of Another 48 Hours and Darkness Falls
“Hostile Intent kept me up most of the night. Hold on, is all I can tell you.”–Jay Nordlinger, National Review
It starts with the unthinkable–the most horrific act of violence ever committed on American soil.
Only one man can stop them.
Hostile Intent
Code named Devlin, he exists in the blackest shadows of the United States government–operating off the grid as the NSA’s top agent. He’s their most lethal weapon-and their most secret. But someone is trying to draw him out into the open by putting America’s citizens in the crosshairs–and they will continue the slaughter until they get what they want.
“Six pages into Hostile Intent and I began to feel uneasy. By page nine I’d been punched in the gut. And it just doesn’t stop.” –Bill Whittle, author of Silent America
Born on the United States Marine Corps base at Camp Lejeune, N. C., Michael Walsh comes from a long line of American servicemen, including veterans of the Spanish-American War, World War II, Korea and Vietnam. Walsh grew up among veterans and intelligence officers in duty stations around the world, including Washington, D.C., San Diego and Pearl Harbor, and even today several members of his family are former or active intelligence professionals with high security clearances. His debut novel, Exchange Alley was a Book-of-the-Month Club alternate selection upon its publication in 1997. His novel And All the Saints was a winner of the 2004 American Book Award for fiction.
Since time began, the Earth has served as a balance between the world of darkness that is the Abyss, and the paradise known as Eden. Now the battle between good and evil has reached a tipping point, and survival depends on one fallen demon– and the woman he can’t resist…
“Kate Douglas does it again! A delicious, sexy romp of a book, with a demon lover to die for and an everywoman heroine who rises to the challenge. It totally sucked me in!”–Angela Knight, New York Times bestselling author
“Wildly entertaining. A fabulous new world for fans of the paranormal.”–Jayne Ann Krentz, New York Times bestselling author
Ever since local developer Fred Stanton and his wife, Mimi, built five modular homes next door to Lucy Stone’s farmhouse, life just hasn’t been the same. With Mimi complaining about everything from the state of Lucy’s lawn to another neighbor’s lovable dog, quaint Tinker’s Cove, Maine, is now entangled in cul-de-sac politics and backstabbing. And when Mimi doesn’t show up for her shift at The Hat and Mitten Fund bake sale, the scent of burnt sugar leads Lucy to a shocking discovery: Mimi, face down on her kitchen floor–with a knife in her back.
While the police start their investigation, Lucy gets busy writing up the murder for the local Pennysaver–and following a few leads of her own. Lucy knows the women in her neighborhood didn’t like Mimi, but they certainly didn’t want her dead…right?
Billy Boyle is a Boston cop, from a family of Boston cops, but he is a reluctant soldier who prefers walking the beat in Southie to fighting Nazis. Using her cousin by marriage, a certain General Eisenhower, Billy’s mother lands her son a seemingly soft job with Ike’s staff in London. But Ike wants Billy to use his investigative know-how to sniff out a possible spy in the Allies’ inner circle. Young Billy, oversold by his mother as a crackerjack detective, is definitely in over his head, especially when it turns out that the apparent suicide of a Norwegian dignitary may have been the work of the spy. Benn has a tantalizing premise here, but he doesn’t quite deliver on it: his prose slips into wartime cliches a little too often, and the supporting love story reeks of WWII melodrama. Yet the action builds to a suspenseful climax, and there is even a hint of moral ambiguity in the wrap-up. A not entirely satisfactory debut, then, but Ken Follett fans will want to give Billy and his uncle a chance to develop. —Bill Ott, Booklist

Guest Post: Why I'm Giving Away Two Kindles, By Scott Nicholson
(Editor’s Note: Please join me in welcoming novelist Scott Nicholson as a guest contributor to Kindle Nation today. –S.W.)
I’ve been a reader since Dr. Seuss warped my brain at an early age (I still count the good doctor as the most brilliant literary mind in history), and I grew up with hundreds of paper books–from the adventure tales of Robert Louis Stevenson and H.G. Wells to the seriously fun Richard Brautigan, Elmore Leonard, and Shirley Jackson.
I can remember the thrill when my first-ever published novel, The Red Church
Now that book is on a closet shelf, along with the rest of my books, packed up like old memories. I still read paper books, but there is no denying the incredible advantages of the digital literary era. As an author, I have the power for the first time in history to directly connect with you, my reader, at a fair price and with nobody standing in our way.
And the tales I have heard from readers both in e-mails and on message boards are inspiring–teachers who take Kindles into classrooms, those with vision problems who can now adjust their font size, and the many people who are expanding their literary horizons by trying new genres and subjects.
It’s nothing short of an awe-inspiring revolution, and I am fortunate to be starting Act II of my writing career by launching both new titles and revised editions of my old mass-market paranormal thrillers. To celebrate my renewal, I am embarking on a 90-day blog tour this autumn, giving away a Kindle DX as a grand prize, as well as a Kindle 3 and a massive collection of ebooks.
Why the blog tour?
I used to do dozens of store signings for each paperback release, driving hours away from home to meet readers.
Now my readers are closer than ever–the click of a button and a few keystrokes. My readers can email me in the middle of a book. We are connected, and we are sharing the story experience in ways more intimate than ever. It’s much easier to share all my novels–THE RED CHURCH, THE SKULL RING, SPEED DATING WITH THE DEAD, and DRUMMER BOY–at the same time, because thanks to digital media, they can now be available all at once, something very rare in the world of bookstores.
Why the Kindle? It’s clearly the winner in the e-reading sweepstakes, with Amazon doing almost everything right. The device is user-friendly and Amazon recognized the hunger for a diverse range of literature, thus making it easy for virtually anyone to share their books with an audience. Amazon is taking that idea worldwide. Best of all, Amazon recognizes that digital content doesn’t have the inherent costs of paper-book distribution and those savings should be passed along to readers.
The Kindle Giveaway Blog Tour celebrates the new era and you as a reader, and raises the respectability of independent authors whose voices now have an outlet. It’s also a “Thank you” to the book bloggers and those who spread the news about books and stories.
A thanks to Amazon for its support, and to Stephen Windwalker at Kindle Nation Daily for sponsoring the tour, and Dellaster Design, who exhibits the type of professional ebook formatting that readers deserve.
My personal motto for the new era is one I would like to share with all of you: “We’re all in it together.”
