We know that Richard is putting the finishing touches on the Brainrush sequel which is due out December 18, and otherwise he hasn’t looked back … except to give back, in the form of the very generous offer currently on his website, which we’ll let him describe below. -S.W.)

“The characters are so real; it was so easy to lose myself in the story completely”
MoonlightReader (Amazon Reviewer, October 13, 2011)
“Hardwick’s ability to create community, her talent for drawing a clear picture of a down-and-almost-out small town, and her striking portrayal of complex and compelling Lee, make this novel a deep delight of joys and sorrows.”

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.

With a contemporary feel and characters you'll feel certain you've seen in the headlines or tabloids, HOOKED takes place in the mid-20th century when America was at the pinnacle of its power and prestige. Set in New York and Washington, a remote fishing village on the Turkish Riviera, Sweden, Vienna, Cairo and aboard Lydia, the world's most beautiful yacht, the story centers on Gavin Jenkins, the brilliant, charismatic Dr. FeelGood.
Here's the set-up:
HOOKED is a story of sex, greed, ambition, murder, revenge and assassination - and of Gavin Jenkins, a gifted doctor from a small town in Kentucky. Dr. Jenkins' miracle treatments give patients everything they want: youth, beauty, radiant vitality and sexual potency.
No wonder he is worshiped by the celebrities who become his patients. No wonder his influence runs from the private island of an enigmatic Turkish billionaire with a bloody secret to the crimson-draped bedroom of a sexually depraved, Mid-eastern Prince named Sadun; from the private dressing rooms of world-famous artists to the heights of international society and the inner sanctums of the White House itself.
One Reviewer Notes:
Sex, greed, ambition and murder – what’s not to like? It’s great to see NYT bestselling author, Ruth Harris and Michael Harris move into the thriller genre with this cracking debut.
Mark Chisnell, author of The Defector

Kindle Nation Daily Bargain Book Alert: Yogi Kanna’s NIRVANA: ABSOLUTE FREEDOM is Our eBook of the Day at just $2.99, with 5.0 Stars on 6 Reviews, and Here’s a Free Sample!
Here’s the set-up for Yogi Kanna’s Nirvana, Absolute Freedom, just $2.99 on Kindle:
Imagine everlasting freedom and fulfillment. Does it seem elusive? Do you have to keep striving and competing endlessly to attain it? Can you breathe a sigh of relief once you have enough wealth, fame, power and recognition? Will you be satisfied once you find your perfect soul mate? Or do you have to wait for the afterlife to rest in peace?
In Nirvana, you are taken on a journey of deep inquiry to help uncover your own truth. You learn about a much simpler and more effective way to reconnect with your true Self and rediscover the forgotten treasure that lies buried deep within you. Once you learn to tap into this inner treasure, you begin to experience a state of freedom from worry, freedom from dependence, freedom from suffering; a state so deeply fulfilling that no objective experience can even come close. Thus commences our journey to absolute freedom: Nirvana.
From the reviewers:
Great guide to spirituality for beginners as well as an acknowledgment for people who have already commenced their journey in this path. You can go back and refer to it whenever you feel overwhelmed with the mundane. The author has very simply shown the downside of a materialistic realm and how it can keep us from actually living. The chapter on meditation shows you how to apply this practically thence helping you grow spiritually — Ask
I was really inspired by reading this book to start meditation. I totally recommend this to anyone who would want to explore spirituality. It also brings perspective from different spiritual leaders around the world. – Ravikumar Chakaravarthy
I really enjoyed the section on anger. It explains why we feel anger and how to let it go. The book actually explains a lot of our emotions that tend to hold us back and how best to deal with them. – C. Groves
