Today we’ve got over a dozen new freebies ranging from an immensely popular Marsha Canham regency romance to some decidedly naughty narratives, and nobody needs to know which ones you choose for your Kindle!

–Judith L. Pearson, author of Wolves at the Door and Belly of the Beast
“Author Gary Ponzo has dashed off a fast-paced political thriller with the skill of a Tom Clancy or Ludlum. Loved the characters and the relationships and the insights into the world of counter-terrorism. Great book. Couldn’t put it down and now I want more. Bravo.”
–Stephen Carpenter, author of Killer
“A Touch of Deceit” is a cleverly written thriller with plenty of twists and turns, action, and strong dialogue to keep you turning the pages well into the night. The characters show strength and depth. The plot moves quickly, leaving the reader to want more. The dialogue is direct and well written. Gary Ponzo is an author that everyone should add to their reading list. I highly recommend for thriller, suspense, and mystery fans.”
His first novel, A Touch of Deceit, took five years to write and one to pick clean. The story was born from his childhood experiences working in his father’s candy store in Brooklyn, NY. His father was Sicilian and became friendly with some local members of a different kind of Sicilian family. Since Gary was just fifteen at the time, these family members would make sure he was protected whenever he would work late at night by himself. He soon discovered a side to the mafia not many people knew. It was these relationships which caused him to write about Sicilian FBI agent, Nick Bracco, who recruits his mafia cousin to chase down the world’s most feared terrorist.
A Touch of Deceit went on to win the 2009 Southwest Writers Novel Contest, Thriller category. He is working on the sequel to the novel as well as continuing to publish his short stories. Gary currently lives in Phoenix, Arizona with his wife Jennifer and two children, Jessica and Kyle.
