Here’s the set-up:
Murder in a small coastal community tests the resilence of the lead investigator who has a personal stake in apprehending the killer.Natalie Forrester was eight years old when she witnessed her brother’s murder. She returns to Vancouver Island sixteen years later, hoping to recover her memory and put her brother to rest. Natalie sees the dying before it happens.

Isaac Marquette is twelve years old and a dead-ringer for his uncle Lance, the King’s Ferry Killer’s first victim. Isaac possess a supernatural gift that defies physics–he transitions from real time and place to attend the dying.

Graham Marquette is chief of police of King’s Ferry, where years before his world was rocked by the murder of his younger brother. Now he must untangle the past–both his and the killer’s–in order to save his son.

Together they are the before, the during, and the AFTER DEAD.

Biography

Suzanne Marie Phillips (1963) was born in New Jersey but moved west at age 13 when her parents decided to “settle” the land. In Oregon, they bought a home on several acres in a town whose population was 507. “Culture shock, for sure!” But Phillips soon fell for the rugged beauty that surrounded her. Her time now is split between California, where she is a public school teacher, and the Pacific Northwest. Her new YA novel, LINDSEY LOST, was nominated for an Edgar Award!

Go APE Now for Just $1.99 (Today Only) – The Best Book Ever for Kindle Authors and Publishers

Guy pensiveIt’s Guy Kawasaki Day at Kindle Nation Daily!

Well, not really, but it kind of seems that way. You may recall that a few days ago I gushed about Guy’s latest book as “the book that hits the sweet spot for everyone who has a personal or professional interest in the ebook revolution from the author’s or publisher’s side of the equation.” The book is entitled APE: Author, Publisher, Entrepreneur – How to Publish a Book, and even at its original Kindle price of $9.99 then, a sufficient number of our readers and authors picked it up that it shot up from #1,859 to #743 in the Kindle sales rankings, and rose to the level it deserves in Amazon’s “Authorship” category: #1. We’ve yet to do a sponsored post for the book, so it’s worth saying here that Guy hasn’t paid us a cent to go ape over APE.

Kawasaki and his collaborator Shawn Welch have just completed an update of the book, and if you have already purchased it you can grab the very useful new stuff at no charge by going to Manage Your Kindle. Just find the book in your Kindle Library, click on the “Update Available” link next to the book’s title, and then follow the update prompts. The book was already “great.” Now it’s Tony-the-Tiger Grrreat!

And just for today, if you haven’t bought it yet, there’s even better news. As you already know if you check out our Kindle Daily Deal post when it goes live every day about 7 a.m. EST, APE: Author, Publisher, Entrepreneur – How to Publish a Book is the lead book in today’s Kindle Daily Deal from Amazon at just $1.99! Now that’s a deal! (That bump from #1,859 to #743 after our KND post was nice, but it’s nothing compared to what the authors will see as a result of the Kindle Daily Deal at that sweet $1.99 price. We don’t want to jinx you, Guy, but I see Top 10 in your future!)

Once this book gets to the Top 10, I think it will be pretty slow to drift back toward the mid hundreds, because as much as any book now on the market it is a book that can help millions of people do better at the work they love to do. And we know that every one of those people is a reader. That’s the kind of book that will sell a lot of books in 2013, but with a couple of updates a year it may well sell more in 2015 and even more in 2017.

And oh, by the way, if that’s not enough Guy for you today, you can tune in to him as this week’s guest on NPR’s Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me podcast.

Here’s the set-up:

“All things are composed of patterns…” And within the pattern of the realm of Alorin, three strands must cross:

In Alorin…three hundred years after the genocidal Adept Wars, the realm is dying, and the blessed Adept race dies with it. One man holds the secret to reverting this decline: Bjorn van Gelderan, a dangerous and enigmatic man whose shocking betrayal three centuries past earned him a traitor’s brand. It is the Adept Vestal Raine D’Lacourte’s mission to learn what Bjorn knows in the hope of salvaging his race. But first he’ll have to find him…

In the kingdom of Dannym…the young Prince Ean val Lorian faces a tenuous future as the last living heir to the coveted Eagle Throne. When his blood-brother is slain during a failed assassination, Ean embarks on a desperate hunt for the man responsible. Yet his advisors have their own agendas, and his quest for vengeance leads him ever deeper into a sinuous plot masterminded by a mysterious and powerful man, the one they call First Lord…

In the Nadori desert…tormented by the missing pieces of his life, a soldier named Trell heads off to uncover the truth of his shadowed past. But when disaster places him in the debt of Wildlings sworn to the First Lord, Trell begins to suspect a deadlier, darker secret motivating them.

Reviews

A fantasic read…well written and descriptive… Melissa McPhail is an extremely talented writer.   –Reviewed by Charline Ratcliff for RebeccasReads

This is a richly imagined piece of work…the characters are engaging, and McPhail manages to do some very original things, which is often difficult in fantasy, given that so much work in the genre relies on Tolkienian stereotypes….some strong work here.  —Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards  
A well thought-out story with many layers…the characters are all interconnected…and the underlying mysteries that tie everything together are well hidden and thoroughly disguised. –Reviewed by Marty Shaw for Reader Views

5 Stephen King Kindle Titles for Less Than $4 Each Including a Timely Piece on Guns for Just 99 Cents

Amazon.com today announced that the best-selling and iconic author Stephen King has published a personal essay — “Guns” — available exclusively in the Kindle Store as a Kindle Single. This essay highlights one of the compelling features of Kindle Singles—they allow top authors to publish their works quickly. “Guns” is available now, and exclusively to Kindle customers in the Kindle Singles Store for $0.99

“I think the issue of an America awash in guns is one every citizen has to think about,” said King. “If this helps provoke constructive debate, I’ve done my job. Once I finished writing ‘Guns’ I wanted it published quickly, and Kindle Singles provided an excellent fit.” 

“It’s exciting to offer a way for a brilliant writer like King to publish quickly, and to reach a large audience of loyal readers and new customers,” said David Blum, editor of Kindle Singles. “King finished this essay last Friday morning, and by that night we had accepted it and scheduled for publication today.” 

Like all Kindle books, Kindle Singles are “Buy Once, Read Everywhere”—customers can read them on their Kindle, on the web with Kindle Cloud Reader and on free Kindle reading apps for Android, iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, Blackberry, Windows Phone, Windows 8, PC and Mac. 

Launched in 2011, Kindle Singles are typically between 5,000 and 30,000 words. Too long for a magazine article and too short for a book, Kindle Singles allow ideas to be expressed at their natural length. Writers can learn more about submitting their work for consideration here.

Here at Kindle Nation Daily, we’re glad to see a bestselling author like King showing increasing signs that he and his various publishers (including himself!) that he gets the fact that readers should not have to pay exorbitant prices for Kindle books. Of all his full-length books in English on Kindle, the only title currently priced above $9.99 is the pre-order for Doctor Sleep, his September release revisiting the characters and territory of The Shining.

 And although many of King’s most ardent fans love him as the master of the 1100-page narrative, here are four shorter tomes that come in at prices anywhere from $1.99 to $3.79:

Here’s the set-up:

For every woman who wonders if she chose the right career…In Love and Other Subjects Carolyn Jenkins strives for two things—to be the greatest teacher ever and to find true love. She’s as skilled at both as an infant trying to eat with a fork. Carolyn’s suburban upbringing and genuine compassion for people who don’t fit effortlessly into society are no match for weapon-wielding, struggling students, drug-using colleagues, and a wicked principal.

Meanwhile, her budding relationship with a mystery man is thwarted by his gaggle of eccentric sisters. Carolyn depends on her friends to get her through the hard times, but with poverty-stricken children at her feet and a wealthy man at her side, she must define who she is. The reality of life after college can be daunting, the road to full-fledged adulthood long and unscripted. Can Carolyn take control and craft the life she’s always wanted?
