Nothing Stays In Vegas
Face to face with memories of the past and the gorgeous man who started it all, Lexi can no longer deny the truth to anyone, especially Leo. But honesty will come at a price, and Lexi must decide if she’s wiling to take that risk. And what exactly will she tell her husband? Because as she now knows, NOTHING STAYS IN VEGAS.
From the reviewers:
“Turn off that phone, Find that comfy spot, a big cuppa and a place in the sun for this wonderfully refreshing novel. A story of love, chemistry, destiny and the unexpected stories these elements can bring into our lives. The characters were very relatable. Such a refreshing angle for the story to be explored via the two main characters. A romantic novel that didn’t make me squirm, just eager to find out what was going to happen next! Is it a happy ever after? You’ll have to read to find out. I can say you won’t be disappointed.”
~Julie-Anne Adams
“Elena Aitken has brought us such an incredibly sweet story of love almost lost. She breathes such freshness into the story, creating characters I could easily relate to. The story flowed so easily, I lost myself in the events as they unfolded. This had me looking for flights into Vegas! I highly recommend this if you are looking for a light, fun summer read (or any season for that matter!)” ~Diana Murdock
and now … Today’s Kindle Daily Deal!
Daniel Hecht’s first Cree Black novel puts parapsychologist Cree and her partner on a case in New Orleans’s Garden District, a case that leaves them fearing for their own lives in this terrifying tale of mistaken identity and murder.

Exciting Kindle News From Worldreader: Read A Book, Feed A Mind
(Editor’s note: Kindle Nation readers will remember Worldreader.org from our previous posts found here. We’re thrilled to introduce Worldreader.org communications director Susan Moody Prieto and team member Dani Zacarias with some great news about the organization’s efforts to connect kids around the world with some Africa-based children’s book publishers. — Candace Cheatham, Associate Editor of KND, Editor of Kids Corner @ KND)
By Dani Zacarias
There is a book famine in Africa. But it won’t be fixed by pumping in books about snowmen and skiing from the developed world. It can only be fixed from within, by fostering the established publishing sector and by creating a demand for locally relevant stories.
To this end Worldreader, an NGO founded on the mantra of bringing books to all, has been digitizing stories from Africa and making them available on the Kindle. If you go to Amazon and type “Worldreader” into the search bar you’ll pull up all of Worldreader’s books. They run the gamut from children’s storybooks to decidedly more adult stories. They tell the story of an Africa different from the one we see on the news or in infomercials. Theirs is an Africa full of stories about heroes, histories and, overwhelming about ordinary people living ordinary lives, the fabric, nuance, beauty and sometimes tragedy of which has been captured in print.
We’ve chosen to feature 5 titles from the Worldreader list here that caught our eye.
Hugo Hippo’s ABC Fun Book in Africa written by Gail A. Porter and illustrated by James Okello. Published by Jacaranda Designs.
Bright, beautifully rendered and fun illustrations help children learn their alphabet while also learning the geography of Africa. Great for the Kindle Fire, but it works on other Kindles as well because the illustrations carry well over in gray scale.
Fatuma’s New Cloth written by Leslie Bulion and illustrated by Nicole Tadgell
This is the kind of children’s book that both adults and children can’t help but fall in love with. It handles the complicated topics of beauty and self esteem with simple elegance while simultaneously introducing readers to elements of East African culture. It even comes with a delicious recipe for East African chai!
The Canoe’s Story by Meshack Asare. Published by Sub-Saharan Publishers.
Meshack Asare, one of Africa’s most beloved authors, recounts how a canoe is made. Told from the tree’s point of view, this thoughtful story details the tree’s journey from forest to ocean and the hard work of the fishermen who make it happen.
Let Me Tell You edited and compiled by Sarah Forde. Published by Storymoja.
Follow the lives of a group of real Kenyan coastal girls as they battle through the trials and tribulations of adolescence. In addition to what we would expect to see – infatuations, the desire to fit in at school – there’s also more complex issues to be handled – those of absentee parents or early marriages often rushed into to escape situations that are not so much escaped as replicated.
Faceless by Amma Darko. Published by Sub-Saharan Publishers.
Amma Darko, widely seen as a successor to some of Ghana’s greatest writers, weaves a dark story about the collision of two worlds: that of a middle class woman and a group of street children. Definitely for an older audience than the previous offerings it’s a beautifully written story full of tragic and compelling characters. In a strange reversal of roles children often sound like adults and adults often seem to be children.
The profits from each book go directly back to publishers in Africa. A portion helps to fund Worldreader’s projects in impoverished schools in Africa.

Kindle Nation Daily Bargain Book Alert: David Scott Hay’s FOUNTAIN is our eBook of the Day, With 4.8 Stars on 6 Reviews, and just $2.99 or Currently Free for Amazon Prime Members Via the Kindle Lending Library
Here’s the set-up for David Scott Hay’s Fountain, just $2.99 on Kindle or currently FREE for Amazon Prime Members Via the Kindle Lending Library:
What if a sip from a drinking fountain lets you create a masterpiece?
And then you die.
Life vs. Legacy… do you drink?
For anyone who has sacrificed blood to the muses.
For anyone who has been to a museum, looked around, and called bullshit.
For anyone that’s fed up with instant celebrity.
For anyone who wants a revolution…
A story that stretches from Chicago to Mars.
There’s no elves or wizards or angels or demons this time.
This is Pynchon, Vonnegut and Palahniuk territory.
This is sex, violence, and art.
This is war.
From the Author
A flash.
One trip to the MCA.
That bubbleman sign.
It was a creative outlet project between a bunch of other projects.
I wrote most of it in secret.
It took a few rings on the tree.
A marriage.
A career change.
It became of journal of dark things and light things.
Written with a barely repressed glee.
Enjoy.
From the reviewers:
“DSH is a master of plot. This thing moves like a thriller. It is literally one of the best things I’ve read all year. Darkly funny… a howling success!” – Pinckney Benedict, MIRACLE BOY AND OTHER STORIES
“Smart, inventive, and accomplished. There is some real comic brilliance here.” – Naeem Murr, THE PERFECT MAN
“David Scott Hay has done a something incredible – an artful book about an arty subject that doesn’t drop into pretension. ‘FOUNTAIN’ is an affecting story about tough, interesting people who hold beauty up like Achilles’ shield against a very real, very bitter, and oddly funny world. A must for fans of sharp tongues and sharp writing.” – Darren Callahan, THE WHITE AIRPLANE and HORROR ACADEMY: TWO PLAYS
… had me feeling like I was a fly on the wall, or perhaps a mist surrounding the characters in this novel. Dropped headlong into the world of art, I found myself really caring, really intrigued by the characters’ thoughts, motivations, and struggles, both internal and external. The dialogue is quick, witty, and thought-provoking. Such a different type of book that I typically read, but I’m glad I picked it up. Definitely a keeper on my Kindle! – Diana Murdock
This novel ranks among the very best that I have read in the last 10 years. David Scott Hay nimbly uses language and form to create a world that we recognize, hope for, and dread, many times in the same moment. – Brian Hill
David Scott Hay is an award-winning Chicago playwright, screenwriter and novelist. He also wrote and directed the acclaimed indie feature film HARD SCRAMBLED.
