Our Kindle eBook o’ the Day is a dystopian thriller with a subtle dash of sci-fi – Patrick Skelton’s The Device, 4.1 stars – 13 reviews and just $2.99 on Kindle! Here’s a free sample

Here’s the set-up for Patrick Skelton’s The Device, just $2.99 on Kindle:

A mysterious device.

A physicist with advanced medical knowledge.

A man’s quest to uncover the secrets of his past and save the woman he loves.


When John Timmons finds an unusual metal object behind his cabin in Colorado, he suspects it belongs to his new neighbor, Jacob Mowat–a retired nuclear engineer who claims to have been employed by the government. As their friendship progresses, John discovers that his neighbor is guarding a terrible secret. His search for answers leads to a startling truth about his own troubled past as an orphan and the fate of humanity.
The Device is a character-driven mystery that explores loss and redemption, corruption and miracles. Fans of  speculative fiction–George Orwell’s 1984 and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World—will enjoy the frightening climax.

From the reviewers:

Patrick Skelton’s
The Device is a gripping tale that captivates readers with very subtle science fiction elements. Like all good directors or story tellers, it is what Skelton doesn’t tell you in the narrative that keeps the reader guessing where it is all leading.

The Device is the debut novel by author Patrick Skelton, a dystopian/science fiction novel that I just couldn’t put down. In The Device, the science fiction aspect enhances, rather than overpowers, the incredibly intriguing story.

An engrossing, character driven story, with a science fiction heart.  I enjoyed this book and would recommend anyone interested in science fiction, family dramas, romances, or even inspirational fiction. Truly a book for all audiences.

What a great surprise this book was! I loved everything about it. The characters all had a depth that is seldom found in books that are story’s told in the first person. The pace of the book kept me involved while the complexity of the plot drew me into the layers that surrounded the truth.

Patrick Skelton resides in Columbus, OH with his wife Jennifer. He is currently writing his second novel. Please visit the author at www.patrickskelton.com

“I enjoyed it. It was fun. It was hot. It made me want to build a fire with my husband or jet of to Paris.” 

–E. B. Loan



Here’s the set-up:

Jake Forrester, a controlled, self-reliant security expert scarred by his father’s murder, is pursuing his goal of an independent life, relying on himself and logic, until he’s forced to accept the help of an impulsive, spirited goldsmith who follows her instincts, wherever they may lead. When Tempest MacKenzie witnesses a gorgeous stranger being bundled into a van, she tries to help him, but becomes tangled in a complex web of intrigue. Tempest finds stubborn Jake attractive, compelling and infuriating, his logic the complete antithesis of her reliance on her instincts. And Jake is fascinated and attracted to the feisty redhead. As they spend time together trying to thwart a heist at the British Museum, the attraction between them flares out of control. The thief has a grudge against Jake, and danger stalks their every move. Will Jake learn to trust Tempest’s intuition, before it’s too late?

 

One Reviewer Notes:
“Strong heroines like this are a favorite kind of read for me. Great character building and a plot that keeps us on edge throughout helps make this an exceptional suspense. Dialogue helps build it and steamy romance sizzles in a good way. This makes two books in a row from this gifted author that I’ve adored. Hope to read many more in the future.” 

–Dee Dailey for The Romance Studio

Free Kindle Nation Shorts — June 9, 2011: An Excerpt from BARBADOS HEAT (A Mick Sever Mystery) by Don Bruns

(Ed. Note: Of all the things I love about my job, nothing surpasses the thrill of discovery. And judging from the popularity of the Free Kindle Nation Shorts program, I’m not alone. So I hope you’ll come along with Sue Grafton and me today, because we have a treat to share with you. –S.W.)

Bestselling mystery novelist Sue Grafton had to read Don Bruns’ book, like it or not.  He’d “purchased” her critique services at  a charity auction.

She liked it well enough to give him 8 harsh pages of criticism.

But his re-write of “Jamaica Blue” earned this from Grafton:  “It’s good. It’s really good.”

Today’s 5,300-word Free Kindle Nation Short kicks off Bruns’ hot suspense novel “Barbados Heat” with the brutal murder of a Congressman who was once a rock ‘n roller like the author,  “a road weary musician who made a living performing with acts like Ricky Nelson, the Platters, Ray Charles and Eric Carmen.”

Barbados Heat

A Mick Sever Mystery
by Don Bruns
4.3 Stars from 6 Reviewers

Just $2.99 on Kindle

Here’s the set-up:

Congressman Robert Shapply is no saint. A former music insider who fleeced his clients for millions, he now leads the crusade against offensive and violent rap lyrics. When he is attacked and murdered in front of his Adams Morgan home , the list of suspects is endless.

But the killer might be closer to home: Police arrest Shapply’s son and charge him with murder.

For music journalist Mick Sever, covering this case is personal. Mick, a former client of the congressman and best friend of the accused killer, knows the case isn’t quite as simple as it appears. He believes his friend’s claims of innocence.

From Washington, D.C. to Sarasota, Florida and Barbados, rock and roll journalist Mick Sever follows the leads, trying to prove the innocence of his former childhood friend. Threatened by unknown assailants and dangers, Mick becomes the hunted as the killer turns the tables in a stunning climax.

Here’s the set-up:

Ten year old friends Alex and Sapphire discover something strange on the city bus map – a street that existed for only one year. As they set out to solve the mystery, they encounter the possibility of another world, another dimension perhaps, lurking in a vacant lot, but they are not the only ones on the trail. Who will discover the truth, and who will pay the price required by the witchcraft of positive thinking? Book One of the Dragon City Trilogy, followed by Freak City and Dragon Town

 

One Reviewer Notes:

“Tom Lichtenberg writes curiously engaging novellas. His stories are not driven by action but by mood and metaphysics. His premises often begin with fairly standard, often vaguely science-fiction concepts: time travel in Time Zone, for example, or mind control in World Weary Avengers. But he spins those concepts out into melancholy, thoughtful tales.”

–Devon Kappa

Reminiscent of the short fiction of Raymond Carver and Richard Ford, E. Thomas Finan’s collection takes on the human condition with grit, humor, and insight. THE OTHER SIDE is our Kindle eBook of the Day – 4.3 Stars and Just 99 cents on Kindle!

A feeling rose within her during that silence, a feeling that, somehow, there could be a way. Somehow, they could step beyond. Somehow, they could meet the deep life, the life they had both thirsted for, that they had both feared…

Here’s the set-up E. Thomas Finan’s The Other Side, just 99 Cents on Kindle:
 
This debut collection of seven short stories (30,000 words) by a rising young voice in American letters takes on the human condition with grit, humor, and insight. In “Lucy di Sartoria,” a woman’s marital infidelities prompt her to reevaluate her life. The title character of “Billy Stevens is 28” faces twenty-something angst, as the weight of missed opportunities falls squarely on his shoulders. “An Aria of Windrows” shows an office worker obsessing about a voice mail, and “Motley Black” is the comic tale of a melancholy man taking a cross-country bus trip. In the title story of the collection, a young wife afflicted with debilitating headaches notices strange things happening in her house.

The stories of
The Other Side explore our connections and disjunctions with other people. Refusing the glib comforts of rote despair or a false happiness, The Other Side focuses on moments of personal growth as well as times of falling short—on the emotional hinges, defeats, and victories of life.

From the reviewers:

Defeat is another way to grow. “The Other Side” is a collection of short stories from E. Thomas Finn, who focuses on the losses and disappointments of life and how they change our path through it all. With profound storytelling on this common individual who will resonate well with readers, “The Other Side” is a must addition to any short fiction collection. –The Midwest Book Review

This beautifully written short story collection catches people at crucial moments in their lives when they begin to see things from a new perspective, or from “the other side.” Decisions are made to either leap forward with change, or to remain stuck in habit and routine.

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading about life situations that make you wonder … What if … ??? 

E. Thomas Finan is currently a lecturer at the University of Miami. Born and raised in Massachusetts, he holds undergraduate degrees from Cape Cod Community College and Boston University. 

He holds a PhD in literature and philosophy from Boston University. He has also taught at Boston University and the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.

His short play “Reunion” premiered at the Provincetown Theater Company in 2009.
