Here’s the set-up:

MASTER STRATEGIC STOCK TRADING

Many say few know more about stock trading than Michael Swanson, who ran a top ranked hedge fund for four years and has built up a huge audience of readers on his website WallStreetWindow.com thanks to the accuracy of his market calls and investment acumen, including making over 50% in 2008 in one of the worst years for the stock market ever. His book Strategic Stock Trading demystifies the stock market by explaining what truly makes the stock market and individual stocks move the way they do and shows you how you can take advantage of it.

This book is designed to be a fast read that you can finish in one sitting.

After you buy this book and read it among the things you will learn are:

THE MOST PROFITABLE STOCK PATTERN YOU CAN BUY – The best traders and investors are one trick ponies who develop a method or trading strategy that they use over and over again to profit in the market. Instead of flooding you with hundreds of different technical analysis indicators Swanson cuts to the chase and hands you the most profitable stock pattern that he has used again and again over the years.

HOW TO BUY TOMORROW’S BIG WINNERS TODAY – Imagine what would it be like to be able to find the next Apple or the next world changing stock market sector? Learn how to break the stock market down in investment sub sectors and be able to identify when one of them is positioning itself to begin a new bull market of its own and become the next big thing everyone is talking about a year from now.

UNDERSTAND INVESTMENT CROWD PSYCHOLOGY – Individual investors play in the stock market and tend to buy high and sell low while hedge funds and professional investors are now dominating the exchanges with computer programs and short-term trading. As an individual investor Swanson shares his knowledge of what really moves professional investors to help you understand how to navigate today’s stock market and play like a shark and not swim like a minnow.

PROFIT DURING BEAR MARKETS THROUGH SHORT SELLING – Swanson made money in the 2008 stock market crash by recognizing it was coming ahead of time and then betting against the stock market. After you read this book you will know what type of storm clouds come before big bear markets and how to short sell stocks the right way if you want to try to profit from them.

BUY A STOCK USING THE TWO-FOLD FORMULA – Price patterns and technical analysis are key in stock trading entry and exit points, but fundamental analysis using valuation metrics are key to evaluating he true investment potential in a stock. These simple valuation metrics will enable you to do this at a quick glance.

THIS IS THE BOOK MANY CONSIDER TO BE IDEAL FOR BOTH NEWBIES AND EXPERTS – To quickly tell you why many people consider this to be an important book there are many stock market and stock trading investment books that describe different aspects of technical and fundamental analysis. This one puts them together and shows you have to really use them in a strategic way backed by real life experiences and examples. It also discusses the psychology of investors in the market and how hedge funds and institutional investors now influence the stock market more than ever before and what you must do in this type of market to succeed. It is a practical and refreshingly compact guide.

Where Niki goes, death is never far behind.

Everyone Niki Slobodian knows hates Congressman Frank Bradley. He is the father of New Government, after all. He started the Registry, and the world adopted it. Bradley is the man who separated Abnormals and Normals, and made it a crime for Abbies to exist.

So when Bradley shows up at Niki’s door bearing a terrible secret, then promptly disappears, she feels compelled to dig deeper. But the more Niki uncovers, the more danger she is in. A mysterious organization is out for her blood – literally – and her father’s criminal past may not be as self-serving as she thought. There is also the matter of Niki’s inscrutable employer Sam and the secret of his identity. With help from her partner Bobby Gage, Niki finds out just how little she knew about her family, and the truth of who she really is.

Here’s the set-up:

Kieran McCall has never been lucky in love. This socially awkward, intellectually impaired Romeo has had his fair share of relationships, but none of them have ended well.

There was the time behind the bike-sheds, his first time, when he kissed little Kerry Newsome, promptly vomited on her and then received an arse-kicking in the cloakroom. The time he found himself embroiled in an animal murdering plot after trying to acquire his first girlfriend. The ‘bulge’ incident in front of a naked class of showering classmates, and then there was the time he lost his virginity to an unenthusiastic sociopath in the supermarket stockroom; but these things were merely incidental in comparison to the others, because as bad as growing up was for this persistently unlucky idiot, adulthood was worse.

An Idiot in Love is a laugh-out-loud comedy written in an autobiographical style; a devilish rom-com with a myriad of twists and turns.

Tommy’s Defense

by Ralph Shamas

Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled
Here’s the set-up:

A promiscuous, unfaithful wife is found dead in her illicit lover’s bed. The lover had been shot several times with a .22 caliber firearm. The wife had been stabbed multiple times and her throat had been brutally sliced. Circumstantial evidence and the testimony of a neighbor lead the police to arrest the husband, Tommy Beloit. Attorney Jake Madow is retained for the defense. The trial compels surprise and suspense. The ending of this story suggests how elusive the pursuit of justice can become and how truth is rarely all that clear.

By the author of The Homicide Chronicle: Defending the Citizen Accused. “Ralph Shamas is a very gifted writer…and is well-versed in legal issues and trial proceedings.” ~ Jean Brickell and Brenda Ballard for Readers Favorite

“Shamas’ understated approach is a welcome change in the genre of legal fiction.” ~ Kirkus

Here's the set-up:
Few of us know South Italy as Terry Stanfill does; and her love of this wonderful land shines through every page of her quietly astonishing novel. What a story she tells--threading its way through mythology, ancient history and archaeology in Italy and France and England. Almost a romance, almost a thriller yet not quite either, it possesses a unique character of its own. I loved it.

--John Julius Norwich, author of A History of the Normans in South Italy and Sicily
One Reviewer Notes:
The author pours her estimable learning into this, her fourth novel, and she's equally comfortable writing about the nuances of ancient art, the links between myth and history, and the nooks and crannies of modern-day Italy. And though her book seems by turns a travel guide or an archaeology textbook, its details only add verisimilitude to a satisfyingly complex story of love, learning and intrigue in Europe. An erudite thriller that recalls Brown's Robert Langdon series—only smarter.

200 Million Free Downloads and Counting, Exclusively Yours – How Amazon Has Attracted A Quarter of A Million “Kindle Exclusive” Titles with KDP Select

Len Edgerly Interviews Russ Grandinetti, Amazon’s Vice President of Kindle Content

(Ed. Note: In this week’s column, Len focuses primarily on how the KDP Select and Kindle Owners’ Lending Library programs benefit authors. But they’re also a huge benefit to readers, both because of the free borrowing highlighted in the next article and because KDP Select allows the authors and publishers to offer the thousands of free books highlighted every day in Kindle Nation Daily posts. –Steve Windwalker)


By LEN EDGERLY, Contributing Editor

A blind alley is closed at one end. It leads nowhere. Why on earth would you ever want to go down one?

russ1Russ Grandinetti (photo at right), Amazon’s Vice President of Kindle Content, puts it this way: “We like going down blind alleys, because occasionally they turn into broad vistas.”

Grandinetti is quoting Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos with that metaphor, which aptly describes the success of a program launched almost a year ago named KDP Select.

Unless you have self-published a book at Kindle Direct Publishing, you may not have heard of KDP Select. But you probably do know about the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library (KOLL, pronounced “coal.”)

Through KOLL, Amazon Prime members in the U.S. who own Kindle devices get free borrowing rights for up to one Kindle book a month, with no due dates. The lending library was added on November 3, 2011, to free two-day shipping and free Prime Instant Videos as benefits of Amazon Prime, which costs $79 a year.

The lending library began with only 5,000 books to choose from. None of them came from authors publishing their work through Kindle Direct Publishing.

Thirty-five days after launching the lending library, Amazon opened the library’s doors to KDP authors. Through KDP Select, an author or publisher can make their books available for free borrowing at the lending library in return for granting a 90-day exclusive to the Kindle Store. After the 90 days are up, they are free to sell their eBooks at Barnes & Noble, Sony, Kobo, or anywhere else.

Amazon’s lending library is unusual in that an author receives a payment every time his or her book is borrowed. In fact, through November of this year KDP Select authors have received a total of more than $7 million in payments from Amazon. The money is distributed on a prorated basis, determined by how many borrowings take place for each book. The payments have been running about $2 per borrowing.

KDP Select also enables an author or publisher to offer their Kindle book for free at the regular Kindle Store, for up to five days every 90 days.

“In hindsight, it seems obvious that it succeeded so well,” Grandinetti said of KDP Select in a telephone interview on November 28th. “It wasn’t obvious in advance—we had hopes, but we didn’t know. That one has turned out to be super successful.”

Grandinetti is an enthusiastic exec who uses the word “super” a lot. And in the case of KDP Select, an initiative that might well have been a blind alley but turned into a broad vista, the numbers back him up.

Thanks to the response by authors and publishers to KDP Select, the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library has grown from 5,000 titles to approximately 240,000. KDP Select books have been purchased, borrowed from KOLL, or downloaded for free more than 200 million times in the past year.

In that same year, more than 500 books enrolled in KDP Select have reached the top 100 Kindle bestseller lists around the world.

Grandinetti believes the lending library helps increase a book’s sales in the Kindle Store, because free borrowing is, in effect, an extended sampling mechanism for books that customers might not otherwise take a chance on.

“It helps them reach an audience that they might not otherwise have reached,” Grandinetti said of authors whose books are available in the library. Another benefit is that a borrowing is treated like a sale for the purpose of personalized recommendations and ranking on Amazon’s bestseller lists.

Amazon invented the Kindle Owner’s Lending Library in order to create an added benefit for customers purchasing a Kindle eReader or Kindle Fire. That’s why free borrowing from the library is not available via Kindle apps such as those for the iPad, Blackberry devices or personal computers.

As for the larger picture here, I know that many in the traditional publishing industry see only a ruthless new competitor in Amazon. But when I have the chance to interview Amazon executives, from Jeff Bezos on down, I never hear about competitors. I hear about customers.

From the company’s Vice President of Kindle Content, I hear how initiatives like KDP Select that entail millions of dollars of spending are launched in order to bring new benefits to customers who are authors and publishers, as well as customers who are readers.

“The price that I charge a customer today is the lowest that I can charge while still maintaining a healthy business for us, so we can continue, and also for the publishing community,” Grandinetti told me.

“Having a great, robust, diverse, successful publishing business and having a great, robust, diverse, successful agent and author business is really great for readers,” he added. “I feel that Amazon and Kindle have contributed to that, and we’ll continue to try and find ways to do so.”

On the day after I spoke with Grandinetti, Amazon issued a press release announcing that the company will add $1.5 million to the KDP Select global fund on top of the regular monthly payments, payable to authors and publishers during the three-month period from December through February.

In the press release I found evidence that when a player with Amazon’s resources is willing to go down blind alleys, the broad vistas that sometimes open up are not just one company’s to enjoy and profit from.

They can also open for a single writer, like Martin Crosbie, the author of a first novel titled My Temporary Life who was quoted in the release.

Crosbie, who lives in Vancouver, British Columbia, earned $100 from royalties for his book in the two months before he enrolled it in KDP Select. He then earned $45,000 in a single month from paid sales and payments for borrowings from the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library.

“I have readers anxiously waiting for my next novel,” Crosbie was quoted as saying, “and—I never get tired of saying this—I’m a full-time writer.”

Congressman Roscoe Kelly is tied to bank fraud and other politicians with ties to Polk duck and weave. The press smells blood and government corruption dominates the news cycle. Is The Other Pilot a patriot or a criminal? Where did all that money come from?

Boyd rushes to find The Other Pilot, as signs point to a criminal mastermind with a lust for revenge.

For many people, the title of this book sums up how they feel about working out: Exercise Sucks!

But the reality is that losing weight and keeping it off through diet alone is virtually impossible, which is why most of us fail. To lose the weight and get that lean body you dream about you have to eat well and be active on a regular basis. New research reveals that most of us sit an astounding 7-11 hours every day!

Exercise Sucks! is based on the new science of sedentary studies, which points to the startling conclusion that “exercise” as we know it may not even be the most effective way to lose weight.
This sure-to-be-controversial book will show you how to:
•Change your habits and bring more regular activity to your day, allowing you to burn far more calories than you would “exercising.”
•Bring “real food” that is delicious and healthy back into your life easily!
•Learn movements that can be done at your desk or kitchen counter that will improve strength, flexibility, balance and energize you without breaking a sweat
•Choose foods that will help you lose weight without really trying
•De-stress your life to make weight loss easier and faster
•Make the most out of a short workout program to lose weight fast

Exercise Sucks! will help you lose the weight you want to lose with little or no time spent doing the thing most people hate… exercise.

“FIVE STARS: Michael Collins is hot, and Kermit Guillardo is a riot!” — Lady Lawyer

Like John Grisham and D.W. Buffa, award-winning author J.D. Trafford created a smart legal thriller that keeps the reader turning pages.

Michael Collins burned his suits and ties in a beautiful bonfire before leaving New York and taking up residence at Hut No. 7 in a run-down Mexican resort. He dropped-out, giving up a future of billable hours and big law firm paychecks. But, there are millions of dollars missing from a client’s account and a lot of people who want Michael Collins to come back. When his girlfriend is accused of murder, he knows that there really isn’t much choice.

“No Time To Run” has been an Amazon Top 100 bestseller and a best-selling Amazon Legal Thriller.

About The Author

Even during law school, I loved to write fiction. I’ve always been a writer. I can’t imagine my life without writing. Then, about ten years ago, I began to get more serious about writing novel-length fiction. Like waffles, the first few didn’t turn out so well. No worries, folks, these stories will never see the light of day.

Then my third try was with a character named Michael Collins. Everyone has a moment in their life when they want to drop-out, sell all of their belongings, and live on a beach…I know I did. So, that was the concept behind the legal thrillers featuring Michael Collins.

Prompted by my wife, I submitted the first book in the series to the National Legal Writing Competition for Lawyers. And, it won. I did additional editing, changed the title to “No Time To Run” and now it’s been an Amazon Top 100 legal thriller since September 2011.

I think that there is always going to be a tension between the life you want and the life you have. We have a picture in our minds of the perfection, but the real world always interferes. That’s what Michael Collins struggles with, although in a far more dramatic fashion. I hope these books provide a fun read for people seeking a smart escape (but not too smart).

Book #2, “No Time To Die” is now out and available. Book #3 is coming this winter…stay tuned.
