“Sophie runs her father’s printing press, has been widowed twice, raised a daughter. She wants to travel, and have more out of life. But, she didn’t plan on identifying her father’s corpse. She didn’t expect to flee from the British and the rebels, running with her brother; Mathias, a friend; Mathias’ Creek cousins and his French uncle. The group did intend to find her father’s murderer. As they escaped Georgia, they encountered bandits, Spanish assassins and runaway slaves.
“Adair’s novel tells of the Revolutionary War in the southern colonies, the Caribbean and Cuba.

After reading this historical pageturner, I’m anxiously waiting for the sequel, The Blacksmith’s Daughter.

Here’s the set-up for Tess Hardwick’s Riversong, 4.7 Stars and just $2.99 on Kindle:
When Lee Tucker’s husband commits suicide, he leaves her pregnant and one million dollars in debt to a loan shark. Out of options, she escapes to her deceased mother’s dilapidated house located in a small Oregon town that, like her, is financially ruined, heartbroken and in desperate need of a fresh start.
Lee’s resilience leads to a plan for a destination restaurant named Riversong, to new chances for passion and love, and to danger from her dead husband’s debt as her business blooms.
Author Tess Hardwick assembles a colorful cast of endearing small-town characters and takes you on a journey that will make you believe in the possibilities of life – even in the face of overwhelming adversity and unimaginable grief. Lee Tucker is the kind of woman you find yourself rooting for long after the last page is read.
A surprising mix of romance, humor, friendship, intrigue and gourmet food – Riversong entertains while reminding you of life’s greatest gifts.
From the reviewers:
Riversong is a remarkable debut novel for Tess Hardwick. This warm-hearted, compelling book is an enveloping saga of human resilience. Hardwick’s real achievement is her knack for storytelling – she has carved her story with vivid grace and crafted a superbly plotted, and compulsively readable tale that triumphs. In short, Riversong is an inspiration. Tess Hardwick is a delightful new voice in fiction – one that is well worth listening to. –Natalie
The story was simply engaging, creating a world in which I was able to delightfully lose myself. I found the storyline to be quite empowering and hopeful, as it encapsulated a world filled with struggles and redemption.–Teresa P. Miller
I usually read action/adventure stories so I thought this would be a genuine “chick” book. My initial reaction was a guy’s off-the cuff review that “it could have used some guns, a car chase, danger and sex…” Then I realized, it had each one of those! I was pleasantly surprised that it was well crafted and engaging. –John Murphy
Tess Hardwick is a playwright and novelist. She started her artistic pursuits as an actress and director before writing her first play in 2000, which won the first place prize at Burien New Works in 2001.
Like her main character in Riversong, Tess Hardwick grew up in a small town in Oregon. She studied theatre at the University of Southern California and graduated in 1991 with a BFA in Drama. After college, she moved to Seattle where she met her husband when she was his HR Manager at a local technical company. She now lives in Snoqualmie, Washington with her husband, two small daughters and teenage step-son.

Amazon has just announced move that could constitute a true Killer feature for stimulating massive adoption by college students of ebooks — and Kindle ebooks in particular.
“Today, Amazon.com announced the launch of Kindle Textbook Rental–now students can save up to 80% off textbook list prices by renting from the Kindle Store,” the company said in a press release. “Tens of thousands of textbooks are available for the 2011 school year from leading textbook publishers such as John Wiley & Sons, Elsevier and Taylor & Francis. Students can find details about the program at www.amazon.com/kindletextbooks.”
“Students tell us that they enjoy the low prices we offer on new and used print textbooks. Now we’re excited to offer students an option to rent Kindle textbooks and only pay for the time they need–with savings up to 80% off the print list price on a 30-day rental,” said Dave Limp, vice president, Amazon Kindle.
How effective will this program be in luring students to the Kindle platform? That will depend primarily on two things:
Finally, it seems worthwhile to observe here that, like nearly everything else that Amazon has done in recent months, this move appears to be another important part of the set-up for the launch of a Kindle-compatible tablet from Amazon. Many of the textbooks available under the Kindle Textbook Rental program won’t look like much on a 6-inch e-Ink Kindle display, but I suspect they’ll look great both on a Kindle-compatible iPad and on the K-Tab which we expect Amazon to announce in the next few weeks.
Here’s the guts of Amazon’s news release this morning:
| Students Can Now Save Up To 80% with Kindle Textbook Rental |
| Low rental prices and flexible rental periods of any length between 30 and 360 days Margin notes and highlighted passages are stored in the Amazon Cloud for viewing anytime, anywhere – even after a rental expires SEATTLE, Jul 18, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) — (NASDAQ: AMZN)– Today, Amazon.com announced the launch of Kindle Textbook Rental–now students can save up to 80% off textbook list prices by renting from the Kindle Store. Tens of thousands of textbooks are available for the 2011 school year from leading textbook publishers such as John Wiley & Sons, Elsevier and Taylor & Francis. Students can find details about the program at www.amazon.com/kindletextbooks. “Students tell us that they enjoy the low prices we offer on new and used print textbooks. Now we’re excited to offer students an option to rent Kindle textbooks and only pay for the time they need–with savings up to 80% off the print list price on a 30-day rental,” said Dave Limp, vice president, Amazon Kindle. Kindle Textbook Rental offers the ability to customize rental periods to any length between 30 and 360 days, so students only pay for the specific amount of time they need a book. Students can also easily extend any rental period in increments as small as one day or choose to purchase the book they are renting at any time. “We’ve done a little something extra we think students will enjoy,” continued Limp. “Normally, when you sell your print textbook at the end of the semester you lose all the margin notes and highlights you made as you were studying. We’re extending our Whispersync technology so that you get to keep and access all of your notes and highlighted content in the Amazon Cloud, available anytime, anywhere – even after a rental expires. If you choose to rent again or buy at a later time, your notes will be there just as you left them, perfectly Whispersynced.” Kindle Textbooks are “Rent Once, Read Everywhere” as they can be read across the most popular devices with free Kindle Reading Apps for PC, Mac, iPad, iPod touch, iPhone, BlackBerry, Windows Phone and Android-based devices.

She is healer, hunter, warrior. Her strength will inspire generations. Her courage will found a nation. Experience history as never before. See the birth of Canada through the eyes of the woman who lived and breathed it in Pearson Moore’s CARTIER’S RING: A NOVEL OF CANADA – 5 straight 5-star reviews and just $2.99 on Kindle!
Here’s the set-up for Pearson Moore’s Cartier’s Ring: A Novel of Canada, jut $2.99 on Kindle:
“Only men have dreams such as this, not girls. Not the daughter of a slave.” So begins an adventure that will span eight decades across two continents and dozens of historical figures. From swashbuckling pirates on the high seas to the slave traders of Mexico, to the genocidal wars of North America, Pearson Moore engages from the very first page, using a vibrant prose style that captivates the imagination, and the heart.Twelve years of intensive research went into building the rich historical background for Cartier’s Ring, including dozens of trips to Québec, Montréal, Upstate New York, and Midland, Ontario. But it is the emotional depth of Myeerah’s story that brings the novel to life. You will feel her pain as she is beaten and enslaved, touch her tear-streaked face as she witnesses the ritual torture and execution of her brother, share in her joy as she overcomes deprivation and starvation, and stand up and cheer when she vanquishes her enemies.Using rarely-deployed but highly effective narrative devices, Moore immerses you in a strange world that is attractive in its humanity and intriguing in its statements about our common heritage and destiny. This novel is unabashed in its proclamation of feminine strength, courage, and tenacity. It is a rich and powerful testament to the ideals that founded a nation, and the indefatigable will of the women and men who shared a common vision. Most of all, this is Pearson Moore’s tribute to a country and a philosophy of life; his passion is evident on every page.
Cartier’s Ring is that rare creation that will change the way you think about the world, about your own country, and most of all, about the country that is the starting point and the focus of every word in this novel: Canada.
From the reviewers:
“Myeerah…is expertly placed to interact with several historical personages and provides an engaging account of early Canadian history…Her…compelling story and character arc stand at the heart of the novel…Exquisite historical detail…Excellent novel.” —J. A. Beard, Good Book Alert
“I read Cartier’s Ring cover to cover…—right through the night, in fact—for the simple reason that I couldn’t put it down. Pearson Moore has given us lasting love, bloody war and a clash of cultures set on the high seas… and in the incomprehensibly vast wilderness of 17th century Canada…and leaves his readers dying to know what happens next…Cartier’s Ring is a superbly researched, marvelously written book, and I can’t wait for the sequel.” —Paula Cohen, bestselling author of Gramercy Park
“Myeerah is the real heroine, a young girl…who’s forced to grow up very quickly…I’m not ashamed to say that a few times I had a lump in my throat as I read. Moore has brought to life a period of history…I could almost feel…the camps and forests and ships. The battle of the characters became my battle, too. From the first page to the last, the story is gripping. A tale of love, of family, of honor and of power, it’s fitting tribute to the birth of a nation.” —Barbara Elsborg, bestselling author of Strangers
Pearson Moore writes in several genres, including historical fiction, science fiction, and current events non-fiction. His first novel, Cartier’s Ring was published in April, 2011. Cartier’s Ring is the story of the founding of Canada in 1608 as seen from the Aboriginal perspective. Moore has also written Intolerable Loyalty,”a novel set in Québec during the American Revolutionary War, and Trinity, a science fiction novel treating the emergence of a genetically unique population and its social and political implications.
