Kindle Nation Daily Bargain Book Alert: Tina Folsom’s ZANE’S REDEMPTION is Our eBook of the Day at just $4.99, with 4.9 Stars on 136 Reviews, and Here’s a Free Sample!

Here’s the set-up for Tina Folsom’s Zane’s Redemption, jut $4.99 on Kindle:

The last thing vampire bodyguard Zane wants to do is to guard a hybrid, a half-vampire, half-human, whose father wants to keep her a virgin. Known for his violent temper and callous lack of compassion, Zane’s out-of-control rage, born of the cruelty he suffered during the Holocaust, drives him to focus only on revenge. Trying to find the last of his torturers is his only goal in life.

Portia is a young hybrid with a serious dilemma: in a few weeks, her body will be set in its final vampire form. If she is to avoid having to live out her immortal life as a virgin, she must find a lover in that short time–something her father hires Zane to prevent.

The moment Portia and Zane meet, rules begin to bend, and a forbidden attraction bursts into flames hotter than the hell of Zane’s past. But that past threatens to pull them apart unless they can overcome their prejudice, forsake hate for love, and revenge for forgiveness.

From the reviewers:

This is the story that the fans have been waiting for,  and what a brilliant read it is.  We finally get to see why Zane is the cold and brutal vampire he is. Once again he has fallen foul of the rules, so Samson has given him a babysitting job.  Zane is furious, but if he wants to keep his job then he will have to comply. –  L. Sims

Zane’s Redemption is the 5th book in the Scanguards Vampires series and it has not lost its steam and ability to pull the reader in with its compelling storyline and characters that regular readers of the series have come to love. Tina somehow manages to capture the essence of her characters and make them jump off the page.  – “DarkBloodyVamp”

After reading all the other books in the series I did not think I was going to like this book because of how Zane was protrayed in the previous books but I have to say that this book was by far the best book can’t wait to see if there are going to be more so I can see what happens next  –  Penelope Stanton

I am the author of 8 romance novels, 3 novellas, and 3 short stories since 2010. My latest book is Zane’s Redemption (November 2011) which is the 5th installment of my most popular series, the Scanguards Vampires Series. Other series include Out of Olympus (Greek God Romantic Comedies) and the Venice Vampyr Series (Historical Erotic Romance Novellas). I have been a member of Romance Writers of America (RWA) since 2009 and my work is also known internationally.

I’ve had a peppered career. I am a German native and love to travel. My background includes everything from being a cocktail waitress to drama student to tax accountant. However, I knew I wanted to write when I was just 13 years old. I truly believe that you can overcome any obstacle and love prevails, which I’m sure you can see in my writing.

I live in California and love reading, writing, and great food.

My favorite authors are: Lara Adrian, Kresley Cole, Larissa Ione, Alexandra Ivy, Kerrilyn Sparks, Sherrilyn Kenyon, and many other great romance writers.

Here's the set-up:
Best-selling mystery novelist Trevor Hughes has no idea that attending his twentieth reunion at Harvard will forever change his life.

Persuaded to go by his on-again-off-again girlfriend, Dr. Julia Magnusson, he meets up with three old friends: Solly Rubens, a self-made Wall Street millionaire; Ken Faust, a successful software entrepreneur; and Harlan Astor, New York real estate tycoon and the glue that holds their circle together.

That afternoon, over drinks at the Harvard Club, Harlan drops his bombshell: He is doing what James Cameron did not -- he is rebuilding the Titanic, and sailing the ship on the hundredth anniversary to honor those who died, including his great-grandfather, John Jacob Astor IV. Only Trevor is intrigued by Harlan's audacity. Touched by his friend's interest and concern, Harlan invites him on the maiden voyage to serve as the official chronicler.

On April 10, 2012, Trevor journeys to Southampton and, along with the hundreds of handpicked passengers, boards the Titanic. He is awed by the immensity of the ship and the feelings that well up in him. His friend has made his grand dream a reality.

During the journey, armed with his iPod Touch and a miniature wireless camera hidden in his glasses, Trevor interviews both passengers and crew, eager to learn the reasons why they chose to sail on the reborn ship.

Nearly every one of them claims to have been profoundly affected by Cameron's film, wanting to recapture the magic for themselves. And some of them are dying -- their last wish to be on the maiden voyage of the new Titanic.

Trevor is touched that his friend has allowed these people to come aboard, and is unprepared when he meets Madeleine Regehr, a beautiful, free-spirited woman who resists his entreaties to be interviewed, intriguing Trevor all the more. Slowly, and inexorably, Maddy draws him out of his shell, allowing him to love deeply and completely, for the very first time in his life.

But Trevor soon discovers a darker purpose for the voyage, a purpose that threatens to destroy him and the woman he loves. In a race against time that pits friend against friend, Trevor must stop the unstoppable or risk a horrific replay of history...

Dracula: Hearts of Stone

by A. J. Gallant
4.0 stars – 1 Reviews
Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled
Don’t have a Kindle? Get yours here.

Here’s the set-up:

This is book 1 of 3

A tale of magic, romance and fangs.

This MIGHT be a little like Dracula if written by J. K. Rowling. It’s a place where magic and vampires interweave for an exciting adventure.

We start with a shiny new pot of boiling water and add too many evil vampires, and not enough of the good biters. Toss in one suicidal Dracula; add a cup of mayhem and a dash of romance. Oh yes, and a pinch of mirth. Stir lovingly and you have a new novel by A. J. Gallant. If it sounds like the recipe for you then you must read Dracula: Hearts of Stone. Dracula commands it.

New York City is under attack.
..
Dracula is suicidal in a world where evil vampires are in the early stages of taking over. The Master has lived too long and can’t find a reason to face another day. Nasty vampires are feeding on vulnerable mortals and causing chaos. Years ago he trained valiant sheriffs and expects them to defend the humans but they are being overrun. Piers Anthony, the author, is now a vampire. He spends his days attempting to get the Master to snap out of it and to defend the humans, without losing his head.
..
A 12-year-old girl is a rare hybrid, half human and half vampire; she was conceived the normal way, with her mother a mortal and her father a vampire. Jenny is slowly discovering that she may be a blood wizard. She’s already an accomplished vampire killer and can cast spells, but an underground figure has noticed the girl. Some believe that she might be the one of legend that tips the scale toward good.
,,
Sheriff Alexander and his vampire German shepherd stand and fight for justice.
..
Will the red sheriffs be overrun? Will Michael finally get the courage to ask out the sheriff?
..
Here are some of the characters in this book:

Dracula is a bit of a good guy.
Piers Anthony is now a vampire.
Jenny is a 12-year-old hybrid with extraordinary talent.
Lauren is an exceptional sheriff with unsurpassed fighting skills.
A very special Siamese cat searches for Dracula.
Tessy is a vampire German shepherd that hates the evil ones.
Alexander is a handsome sheriff trying to save the world, one vampire at a time.

Demon Shadows

by Mike Sirota

4.0 stars – 3 Reviews
Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled

Here’s the set-up:

November 18, Tuesday — The snow was deep; we couldn’t make it through the pass. Only the Lord knows if we will be able to cross these Sierra mountains.

January 2, Friday — Ada Krueger died. Ate our children’s dog, as there is nothing else. George Stillwell said we should think about eating the flesh of our dead. God in heaven help us if this is our only hope!

January 4, Sunday — Jordy Fry said he saw a figure through the trees in the direction of the pass. Maybe our Salvation is near . . .Bestselling author Paul Fleming has writer’s block. The past few months have been hell. Four weeks at the prestigious Thorburn Colony, a writers’ and artists’ retreat in the high Sierras, seems to be the perfect cure. Until an ancient horror returns to collect on an old debt—and make Paul realize that he had no idea what hell really is.

McLaughlin, Amazon Reviewer, 5 Stars

Zombiestan

by Mainak Dhar

4.3 stars – 76 Reviews
Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled
Or check out the Audible.com version of Zombiestan
in its Audible Audio Edition, Unabridged!
Here’s the set-up:

From the author of the sensational Amazon.com bestseller, Alice in Deadland, comes another unique and action packed take on the zombie genre.

It began with stories of undead Taliban rampaging through Afghan villages, and faster than anyone could have anticipated; the darkness spreads through the world.

In a world laid waste by this new terror, four unlikely companions have been thrown together- a seventeen year old boy dealing with the loss of his family, a US Navy SEAL trying to get back home, an aging, lonely writer with nobody to live for, and a young girl trying to keep her three year old brother safe.

When they discover that the smallest amongst them holds the key to removing the scourge that threatens to destroy their world, they begin an epic journey to a rumoured safe zone high in the Himalayas. A journey that will pit them against their own worst fears and the most terrible dangers- both human and undead.

A journey through a wasteland now known as Zombiestan.

Everyone knows it’s hard to enter high school. But no one knows better than Stanley Hoff. It doesn’t help that at night he wants to howl up at the moon. Or that in his vegetarian household, Stanley Hoff is WICKED HUNGRY.

In fact, he’s filled with forbidden meat-cravings. How much beef jerky, how many Slim Jims can Stanley hide in his room, in his locker at high school?

When a very hairy showdown with a school bully sets in motion a great chain of events that include an invitation to cheerleader Meredith’s Halloween party, Stanley has to ask himself some important questions. Can he overcome his shyness and get the girl? Save his family, his community and his diverse group of friends from the growing supernatural threat? All while figuring out how to control the beast within?

Whale Song: School Edition

by Cheryl Kaye Tardif

4.8 stars – 85 Reviews
Text-to-Speech: Enabled
Here’s the set-up:
Originally published in Canada in 2003 (but never distributed in the U.S.), this moving story features Sarah Richardson, whose family moves from the Montana countryside to Vancouver Island just as she’s about to enter sixth grade. Sarah soon finds that island life suits her perfectly–thanks, especially, to her new best friend, Goldie, whose Native American heritage Sarah finds fascinating, especially the wisdom passed to the girls from Goldie’s grandmother, Nana. Sarah is also intrigued to learn that her marine-biologist father shares a passion with her new Indian friends: killer whales, which the natives revere and her father studies. Life isn’t all native spirituality, however, as Sarah must confront a family tragedy that will change her life forever. Though overly melodramatic in places, Tardif’s story has that perennially crowd-pleasing combination of sweet and sad that so often propels popular commercial fiction, especially coming-of-age stories. Tardif, already a big hit in Canada, may soon be a name to reckon with south of the border.
