Kindle Nation Daily Bargain Book Alert: Jessica James’ NOBLE CAUSE is our eBook of the Day at just $2.99, with 5.0 Stars on 4 Reviews, and Here’s a Free Sample!

Here’s the set-up for Jessica James’ Noble Cause, just $2.99 on Kindle:

Noble Cause is the recipient of the coveted John Esten Cooke Award for Southern Fiction and captured the title for Regional Fiction in the 2011 Next Generation Indie Award contest. It was also a Finalist in the USA “Best Books 2011” Awards for Historical Fiction.

Often compared to Gone with the Wind, Midwest Book Review called Noble Cause “a riveting piece of historical fiction.”

This is the tale of Colonel Alexander Hunter, a dauntless and daring Confederate cavalry officer, who, with his band of intrepid outcasts, becomes a legend in the rolling hills of northern Virginia. Inspired by love of country and guided by a sense of duty and honor, Hunter must make a desperate choice when he discovers the woman he promised his dying brother he would protect is the Union spy he vowed to his men he would destroy.

Readers will discover the fine line between friends and enemies when the paths of these two tenacious foes cross by the fates of war and their destinies become entwined forever.

Author Jessica James uniquely blends elements of romantic and historical fiction in this deeply personal and poignant tale that, according to one reviewer, “transcends the pages to settle in the very marrow of the reader’s bones.” Winner of numerous national awards, James has received critical acclaim for this page-turning story of courage, honor, and enduring love.

Destined for an honored place among the classics of the American Civil War, Noble Cause is a book to read, and keep, and remember forever.

From the reviewers:

With an elegant, evocative style, and a history lover’s eye for detail, Ms. James brings to vivid life one of the most devastating of American tragedies. The involving battles scenes and fascinating military strategies are well-blended with the human issues of the war.  – Virginia Campbell

By weaving a romantic story between a Union spy and a Rebel officer, Jessica James brings to life so beautifully the time period, the personal cost of war to both sides and the conflicts and pain it brought to people just trying to live their lives as best they could in such a tragic time.  –  MaryBeth Vincent

Noble Cause by Jessica James is the kind of book you stay up all night reading. The gallant Alexander Hunter and beautiful Andrea Evans are the epitome of noble heroes. Although one is a Confederate soldier, and the other is a Union spy, among the throes of battle there is a certain harmony between them. The Civil War not only brought destruction, but it created wonders for a powerful setting in this award-winning novel.   –  Diva Jefferson

Originally published as Shades of Gray, Noble Cause provides readers with a new, happily-ever-after ending to the classic romantic tale. Shades of Gray was the winner of numerous national awards and has hit #1 on the Amazon best-seller list in its category.

Here’s the set-up:
What would you do if your Mormon stepfather pinned you down and tried to cast Satan out of you? For thirteen-year-old Ingrid, the answer is simple: RUN.For years Ingrid has begged her free-wheeling dad to let her join him on the road as a tool-selling vagabond to escape the suffocating poverty and religion at home. When her devout Mormon mother marries Earl―a homeless Vietnam vet who exploits the religion’s male-dominated culture to oppress and abuse her family―she finally gets her wish. Ingrid spends the next few summers living on the margins while hustling tools with her dad and his slimy, revolving sales crew. He becomes her lifeline and escape from Earl. But when her dad is arrested, she learns the lesson that will change her life: she can’t look to others to save her; she has to save herself.

She lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband and five children.”At one a.m. in Tulsa the silence is unexpectedly deep. Am I in the city or the country? Is Tulsa urban or suburban, home or alien territory? I’m afraid to go to sleep, so I sit up in bed and ponder the disintegration of my marriage. In his crib, baby Nathan turns in langourous, pink-cheeked slumber and pokes a tiny hand through the bars. In a big city ight now, there’d be sirens, airplanes, car alarms; here, nothing. In the middle of the night, in the middle of the country, I am marooned in absolute, dustless, heat-soaked silence. The bottom drops out of the present. The past rushes up from behind and blocks my future, and I’m stranded–stranded in Tulsa, the city of my discontent.”Check out the book’s website at http://www.sevenblackbirds.com for video and audioclips, or pay a visit to Helen on Scribd, where she is currently top-subscribed female author. http://www.scribd.com/helenwinslow

We are well into week #10 of our wild and crazy plan to give away a brand new Kindle Fire every week through the rest of this year and as much as we can of next, and we are convinced that one of these Kindle Fires may have your name on it!

Maybe yours will be awarded Monday, but you know how this works, right? You can’t win it if you don’t enter.

We’re especially grateful this final week before Christmas to the person who is making our Week #10 Kindle Fire giveaway sweepstakes possible as its sponsor, Patricia Selbert, author of the remarkably uplifting coming-of-age novel THE HOUSE OF SIX DOORS.

(And just in case you are wondering, Patricia has already paid the full cost of the new Kindle Fire that could very well have your name on it. Every penny. What’s that? If you have a good understanding of how karma works in these matters and you want us to repeat that link so you can make sure you have downloaded a copy of THE HOUSE OF SIX DOORS before our Week #10 drawing, thanks. But let’s be clear that while the cosmos works by its own rules, we of course have no way of knowing what you download from the Kindle Store.)

The Week #10 Sweepstakes runs until shortly after noon on Sunday December 18, and entry details can be found at the end of this post.

But first … a word from this week’s sponsor.

Here’s the set-up:
  • “Intimate, at times lyrical, charged with pain and wonder, laughter and perennial hope, The House of Six Doors is terrific storytelling.” Olga Rojer, Associate Professor, American University, Washington DC
  • “An honest tale of love, acceptance, and American dreams.” -El Mundo
  • “The House of Six Doors is a beautiful weave of hard reality and romance, so real that I couldn’t put it down.” -Nancy Marriott, co-author of “Everything You Need to Know to Feel Go(o)d”
  • If you feel as though the circumstances of your life are against you and you wonder whether this will ever change, this is a story that will fill you with hope. If you have ever wanted to believe that the circumstances of your life really do work for your ultimate best interest, read The House of Six Doors. -David Robert Ord, Namaste columnist and author, “Lessons in Loving, A Journey into the Heart”
  • “This is an honest and compelling coming-of-age story that follows a girl as she moves between two cultures, cradled between longing for her indigenous past and the glittering promise of her future in America. Selbert artfully shines light upon the honest transformation of an immigrant family, moving from memories of a windswept island and a grandmother’s wisdom to the poignant integration and reality facing all American immigrants.” – Carol Prunhuber, author of “Women: Around the World and Through the Ages”
  • “Selbert’s powerful, poignant tale provides a source of strength, in a brilliant, beautiful portrayal of a girl’s coming of age and her struggles with cultural differences.” -Reiki Master Julia Elizabeth Carroll, author of “Nu Reiki Oneness”
  • “This story rings true from beginning to end. From the moment we meet thirteen-year-old Serena with her fierce and erratic mother in the Miami airport, we know a heroine’s journey has begun. After leaving the Dutch island of Curacao and her beloved grandmother, Serena navigates two worlds, which the author captures in harsh details and lyrical memories, connecting past to present, and inviting the reader on a juxtaposed journey as well. Serena’s road is full of trials, tragedies, and triumphs, and in the end, we discover a determined young woman and writer has found her way.” -Janet Lucy, author of “Moon Mother, Moon Daughter ~ Myths and Rituals that Celebrate a Girl’s Coming of Age”
  • “Patricia Selbert weaves a powerful and poignant tale of wisdom in a tapestry providing a source of strength. The House of Six Doors tells the story of Serena’s authentic transformation: from young island girl to woman, from small town to big city life, with a strong helping of self-realization. This is my kind of fiction!” -Janice Cook Knight, author of “The Follow Your Heart Cookbook: Recipes from the Vegetarian Restaurant”
  • “You will find yourself torn between cheering for the mother and wanting to sit her down for an intervention. You will think about yourself and how you would deal with things if you were in that situation. You would wish to be enveloped in Serena’s grandmother’s arms and hear her wisdom. You’ll take that wisdom to heart for your own life. You will want to take Serena and hide her away from herself but then on the next page feel a sense of pride for her achievements. You will wish to live in Curacao but then thankful to live in your own town. You’ll find yourself wanting to read more of this book.” -Steena Holmes, book blogger at “Chocolate Blessings”
Serena, at thirteen, leaves her home on the colorful Caribbean island of Curaçao and her beloved grandmother, Oma, when her ambitious, impulsive, and emotionally unstable mother takes her and her sister to the United States in pursuit of the American Dream. They drive from Miami to Hollywood, where their luck runs out and a 1963 Ford Galaxie becomes their first American home.

Compelling and exotic, the narrative weaves together the hard realities of 1970s Hollywood and memories of an innocent past. The story is rich and tangy, filled with images from around the world. The timeless wisdom Serena’s grandmother imparted to her becomes the compass by which Serena navigates the unscrupulous world she confronts.

Filled with brilliant and visceral characters from multiple countries that come to life and reveal themselves and their cultures, The House of Six Doors gives the reader an intimate look at the complexities of an immigrant’s journey and a young girl’s coming of age in a multicultural Los Angeles. A pageturner, this story is so distinct and intimate that it becomes universal and leaves the reader with profound insights.

So … is that it?

Of course not!

 

Here are the details on the Kindle Nation Week #7 KINDLE FIRE Giveaway Sweepstakes:

 

  • There’s no purchase required, but we do need you to go to our Kindle Nation Facebook page and “Like” us. Give the page a few seconds to load, because for some reason it takes a little longer.

Here's the set-up:
The invitation to join the secretive Guadel should have been the fulfillment of dreams Va'del didn't even realize he had. When his sponsors are killed in an ambush a short time later, he instead finds his probationary status revoked, and becomes a pawn between various factions inside the Guadel ruling body.... Jain's never known any life but that of a Guadel in training. She'd thought herself reconciled to the idea of a loveless marriage for the good of her people, but meeting Va'del changes everything. Their growing attraction flies against hundreds of years of precedent, but as widespread attacks threaten their world, the Guadel have no choice but to use even Jain and Va'del in their fight for survival.... Frozen Prospects is a 65,000 word heroic fantasy novel.
One Reviewer Notes:
This is a great story about the coming of age, intimidating bullies, puppy love, heart pounding adventure, fierce battles, perseverance, and amazing physical and mental victories. Enter a new world of community, family, and individual survival in a hostile unforgiving environment where a primitive governing council strives to protect and provide for sometimes undeserving villagers. The search for and the schooling of the next generation of guardians takes on some interesting emotions that draws you into cheering for the underdog that sometimes you're not sure you should trust with your admiration. A great read that might even produce an unexpected tear or two.

Kindle Nation Daily Bargain Book Alert: Ashley Girardi’s WAYWARD is our eBook of the Day at just 99 Cents, with 4.2 Stars on 13 Reviews, and Here’s a Free Sample!

Here’s the set-up for Ashley Girardi’s Wayward, just 99 Cents on Kindle:

Born without magic, seventeen-year-old Helena “Hex” Wayward is an embarrassment to her power-hungry relatives.

As the weakest member of the world’s most deadly magical family, Hex learns early how to avoid confrontation. There’s no defending herself against an errant curse or the pit-demon that her cousins like to summon during family reunions.

When the dark magic inside of her — magic that she never dreamt even existed — erupts in a violent display, it kills a member of a rival family.

Now, Hex’s family hopes to use her magic for their own sinister purposes and their enemies just want her dead. Abandoning her magic will leave Hex defenseless but she’s seen how quickly power corrupts even the best intentions.

She has to make a choice:

Save her life or save her soul.

From the reviewers:

I have read a few indie paranormal books, and this one really stands out. I don’t want to reveal too much, but the book strays pretty far from the “standard” romance you so often see in the genre. It is a very impressive first novel and I will definitely be reading the sequel when it is released.  –  Limukala

The first in a new series by Ashley Girardi, Wayward, is a great beginning to what I am positive is going to be a fun series to read. It had all the makings of a really good YA paranormal/urban fantasy novel. Danger, bad boys, snarky girls, and all of that compounded by magical problems and battles for survival.  –  Kiki Deister

I devoured the whole thing in one sitting! It’s not your traditional YA Paranormal Romance (though there’s definitely some steamy romance) and I came away from it really pleasantly surprised. The story kept me guessing the whole time and I was blown away by the ending.   –  Pamela E. Harris
