33 A.D.

by David McAfee

(Editor’s Note: If you’ve been reading Kindle Nation for any length of time, you may be aware that I’m not a zombie novel guy. But I’ve been reading 33 A.D. and I can tell you that David McAfee is a gifted writer with an amazing command of history, plot, character, and pace. And perhaps most surprising to me — this is, in its own way, a reverent book. I think it may be one of those books that teaches its readers never to allow genre alone to guide them away from any work of fiction. –S.W.)

Jerusalem, 33 A.D. The vampires of the era have long sought to gain a foothold into Israel, but the faith of the local Jewish population has held them in check for centuries.

When one of their own betrays them to follow a strange young rabbi from Galilee, the elders of the vampire race dispatch Theron, a nine hundred year old assassin, to kill them both.

The rabbi’s name is Jesus. Killing him should be easy.

33 A.D. by David McAfee is a wildly original, non-stop pulse pounder that tells the story of a vampire assassin whose mission is to kill Jesus of Nazareth. In a genre mired by cliché stories, this stands out as something bold and new.”
Jeremy Robinson, author of Pulse and Instinct

“David McAfee’s 33 A.D. is a truly compelling and unique perspective on the events surrounding the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. With all the skill of a seasoned novelist, McAfee’s thriller brings a melange of riveting characters, otherworld mythology, and political intrigue together in one fascinating read – a tautly paced winner on all levels.”
Jon F. Merz, author of the Lawson Vampire novels & Parallax

“This story is an action-packed thriller, filled with mystery, intrigue, betrayal and murder. The attention to detail and careful plotting are masterfully done. You’d never guess this was David McAfee’s first novel.”
Jess Haines, author of Hunted by the Others

A Little Death In Dixie
By Lisa Turner

“Memphis, the Mississippi River, and the underbelly of human nature they’re all exposed in the dark brew of this fast-paced Southern Gothic suspense. Page-turning and atmospheric, this tightly-plotted novel turns the screws and sends readers racing to its surprise conclusion.” ~Michael Finger, Senior Editor, Memphis Magazine

The Blues were born out of need, anger and pride. Murder comes from those same dark places. Memphis has both. One of Memphis’ most seductive and notorious socialites has vanished. Either she’s off on another drunken escapade or the disappearance is something much more frightening. What begins as an ordinary day’s work for Detective Billy Able quickly grows into a complex spider’s web of tragedy, mystery, suspicion, and sordid secrets including a few of Billy’s own. With the help of Mercy Snow, the estranged sister of the missing socialite, Billy follows a twisted trail of human frailty and corruption to disturbi
ng truths that undermine everything he thought he knew about himself and the people he loves.

author of A Duty to the Dead 


The Postcard Killers (Special Free Preview: Book One) by James Patterson and Liza Marklund
(About 87 pages in print)

(That’s the good news. The bad news is that Patterson and his agency model publisher, Hachette, have priced pre-orders for the ebook’s August 16 release at the exorbitant and unsustainable price of $14.99.)

Paris is stunning in the summerNYPD detective Jacob Kanon is on a tour of Europe’s most gorgeous cities. But the sights aren’t what draw him–he sees each museum, each cathedral, and each cafe through the eyes of his daughter’s killer.

The killing is simply marvelous
Kanon’s daughter, Kimmy, and her boyfriend were murdered while on vacation in Rome. Since then, young couples in Paris, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, and Stockholm have been found dead. Little connects the murders, other than a postcard to the local newspaper that precedes each new victim.

Wish you were here
Now Kanon teams up with the Swedish reporter, Dessie Larsson, who has just received a postcard in Stockholm–and they think they know where the next victims will be. With relentless logic and unstoppable action, The Postcard Killers may be James Patterson’s most vivid and compelling thriller yet.

Kindle Nation Daily Bargain Book Alert: A Feast of 99-Cent Short Stories by Two Talented Authors, and a Riveting Contemporary Fantasy for Young and Old by Today's Sponsor

Although I love the idea of the Atlantic Shorts exclusive stories for the Kindle, anyone who has read my recently published ebook for authors and publishers knows that I think that Atlantic’s offerings are overpriced at $3.99 apiece. So I am especially glad to see HaperCollins experimenting with pricing and with its own selection of short stories by popular fiction writers Joe Hill and Laura Lippman, available to US Kindle readers at the far more reasonable price point of 99 cents apiece….

But first, a word from … Today’s Sponsor

(Editor’s Note: Today’s sponsoring novel is a special 99-cent treat that is already a big favorite with many Kindle Nation citizens. It’s the first book of Imogen Rose’s Portal Chronicles, and it is likely to become one of a small number of select titles recommended here to the attention of the editors at Amazon Encore…. –SW)
A Novel by Imogen Rose
$0.99
Come Find Me Two Years Ago…

Six words that propelled ice hockey playing tomboy, Arizona, into an alternate dimension.

She suddenly found herself in the past. In one moment she went from being an ice hockey playing teenager in New Jersey to a glamorous cheerleader in California. She found herself transported from a happy life with her dad, Dillard, to a new, strange one living with her mother whom she hates. Apparently it’s a life she’s always lived in.

Everyone knows her as Arizona Darley, but she isn’t. She is Arizona Stevens.

As she struggles to find answers she is certain of one thing — that her mother Olivia, a brilliant physicist, is somehow responsible. .

PORTAL is the story of the repercussions of Olivia Darley’s attempt at creating a perfect world for herself and her children. Arizona’s quest for answers threatens to undermine the seemingly perfect world that her mother has so carefully constructed.

PORTAL is the first book of the Portal Chronicles. Fans of time travel, romance, and the supernatural will enjoy Arizona’s quest for answers. 

If you are wondering about whether Portal is in a category that appeals to you, here’s where it stands as of this writing on the Kindle Store bestseller lists:

Amazon Bestsellers Rank: #318 Paid in Kindle Store (See Top 100 Paid in Kindle Store)

#9 in  Kindle Store > Kindle Books > Children’s Books > Literature > Love & Romance
#2 in  Books > Romance > Time Travel
#13 in  Kindle Store > Kindle Books > Fantasy > Contemporary

Vision and Revision in the Fiction of D.H. Lawrence: A Consideration of the Manuscript Development of Lady Chatterley’s Lover (Harvard Perspectives in Literature)
By Stephen Windwalker
Harvard Perspectives Press
Kindle Price: £2.21 includes VAT* & wireless delivery via Amazon Whispernet

Lawrence wrote and rewrote his final novel, Lady Chatterley’s Lover, “from start to finish, three times.” He began work on the material in the fall of 1926; the final version was completed in January, 1928, 26 months before his death. Windwalker’s study moves deftly between a perspicacious close textual analysis and a thoughtful appraisal of Lawrence’s final novel alongside Sons and Lovers, Women in Love and The Rainbow as the four major novels of a career in which they represent, as Mark Spilka as recognized, ” an impressive and decidedly artistic attempt ? to set forth the conditions of manhood, womanhood, and marriage, as he felt or understood them in his own life.” About 12,500 words, drawn from Windwalker’s magna cum laude thesis in English Literature at Harvard.

Kindle DX Has Moved Up Dramatically in Sales Since Amazon Introduced New Graphite Model at $379 Price

Just a brief follow-up to this morning’s post in which I discussed the interesting challenge, for Amazon, of managing the comings and goings of various Kindle models.

Throughout most of this year, Amazon was selling new units of just two Kindle models: the Kindle 2 and the Kindle DX. For over two years the 6-inch Kindle has been the #1 bestselling item in the Kindle Store across all categories. But for the first six months of 2010, the Kindle DX at its $489 price languished far back, drifting in the #5-6-7 range in the electronics category. Amazon is an authorized seller for Apple’s iPod Touch and various other Apple products, and the Kindle DX routinely trailed several iPad Touch models in sales though most of its life.

Now, with the recent reduction of the US price for the Kindle DX from $489 to $379 and the launch of, in effect, four new 6-inch Kindle 3 models, Amazon’s electronics bestseller list presents a dramatically different story. As shown in the screenshot below, the top four items among Amazon’s electronics bestsellers are Kindles, and no longer are there any iPod Touch models outselling the DX on the Amazon website:

It’s a different picture for UK Amazon customers, since the DX is currently unavailable in the the UK.
