**Toby Heale’s THE REBELLION FOR DEMOCRACY is our Kindle eBook of the Day at just $4.99, with 4.8 Stars on 6 Reviews, and Here’s a Free Sample!**

December 21, 2011 by KND

Here’s the set-up for Toby Heale’s The Rebellion for Democracy, just $4.99 on Kindle:

By stealth, through wide spread corruption, England is being turned into a totalitarian State.

Jack Palmer is one of the leaders of a rebellion that gains popular support by declaring areas of the country free from draconian laws and crippling taxes. Government reaction is ferocious, unleashing a new security service that operates without restraint, without control, without accountability.

Finding himself embroiled in combating treachery within his own organization, Palmer has the added complication of falling for a woman who works in the Government department at the hub of the crackdown.

The success of the rebellion hovers on a knife edge. The schemers grabbing total power offer vast sums of money to tempt politicians and senior police officers to betray the people. They succeed in getting them to turn a blind eye to the brutal excesses of the security thugs.

The initial impetus of the rebellion, aided by subtle manipulation of the press and television coverage, is imperilled by attempts on Palmer’s life and those of the other rebellion leaders.

Fighting the whole State apparatus, struggling against betrayal from within, Jack Palmer takes the battle against dictatorship to the heart of the security forces, compelled to employ tactics as dangerous to democracy as those of the plotters who seek absolute power.

From the reviewers:

… a truly riveting account of one man’s struggle to procure democracy for his nation, a pursuit that rapidly changes from one of youthful idealism to a suspenseful and dangerous minefield in which tensions are high. It is one part thriller and one part political critique, combining into one completely compelling whole. – bwbatlarge

Overall, the book is thrilling and forces the audience to ask penetrating questions about the state of their own government. Rarely does a book incorporate an intriguing and entertaining plot fused with relevant political material ripe for discussion. A wizard of his craft, Toby Heale has surprises stored for his audience at every turn, making Rebellion for Democracy an irresistible and highly recommended read. – Mike Swan

With all that is going on in the economy worldwide, it was quite interesting reading this e-book, The Rebellion for Democracy. It was actually quite scary, that if we don’t watch what is going on in our government, how quickly things can change and “we the people” can lose our freedoms. Just in the first couple pages this jumped out at me! – L. VanderStel

Toby Heale is an expatriate English nomad. His background is the financial world where he started his career as a jobber in gilt-edge securities in the ‘old’ Stock Market in London. Later, he became a broker in the Far Eastern and Emerging Markets. From 1989 was based in Hong Kong where he started and ran his own business.

In 2003 he began his first book, a polemic: ‘Corruption-Absolutely!’ (ISBN978-1-904863-47-2) that was published by the Social Affairs Unit in London in 2009. In the book he reserves the heart of corruption in Europe for the European Court of Human Rights, because it wrote its own mandate and it is answerable to no one. Therefore, it has absolute power and as Lord Acton said: “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Now the E.U talks of; “moving towards a human rights based governance.” That leaves no meaningful place for democracy or its principles, let alone free choice or free speech.

He runs the website http://www.savethefreesociety.org/ which warns that is to be the fate of Europeans to become subjects and not citizens unless democracy is preserved there. He regards the website and the articles he writes as examples of free speech, an essential ingredient of the free society. He absolutely does not accept the E.U. proposition that it is a service. The E.U. wishes to categorise all such websites as services so that they can be regulated. If anyone fails to translate the word: regulated into the word censored, then they are not awake to the seriousness of the problem.

The Rebellion for Democracy (formerly called: A Very English Rebellion) is his first novel. It is designed primarily to be an enjoyable holiday read because it is still ahead of its time.

Noble Cause is the recipient of the coveted John Esten Cooke Award for Southern Fiction and captured the title for Regional Fiction in the 2011 Next Generation Indie Award contest. It was also a Finalist in the USA “Best Books 2011” Awards for Historical Fiction.

Often compared to Gone with the Wind, Midwest Book Review called Noble Cause “a riveting piece of historical fiction.”

This is the tale of Colonel Alexander Hunter, a dauntless and daring Confederate cavalry officer, who, with his band of intrepid outcasts, becomes a legend in the rolling hills of northern Virginia. Inspired by love of country and guided by a sense of duty and honor, Hunter must make a desperate choice when he discovers the woman he promised his dying brother he would protect is the Union spy he vowed to his men he would destroy.

Readers will discover the fine line between friends and enemies when the paths of these two tenacious foes cross by the fates of war and their destinies become entwined forever.

Author Jessica James uniquely blends elements of romantic and historical fiction in this deeply personal and poignant tale that, according to one reviewer, “transcends the pages to settle in the very marrow of the reader’s bones.” Winner of numerous national awards, James has received critical acclaim for this page-turning story of courage, honor, and enduring love.

Destined for an honored place among the classics of the American Civil War, Noble Cause is a book to read, and keep, and remember forever.

From the reviewers:

With an elegant, evocative style, and a history lover’s eye for detail, Ms. James brings to vivid life one of the most devastating of American tragedies. The involving battles scenes and fascinating military strategies are well-blended with the human issues of the war. – Virginia Campbell

By weaving a romantic story between a Union spy and a Rebel officer, Jessica James brings to life so beautifully the time period, the personal cost of war to both sides and the conflicts and pain it brought to people just trying to live their lives as best they could in such a tragic time. – MaryBeth Vincent

Noble Cause by Jessica James is the kind of book you stay up all night reading. The gallant Alexander Hunter and beautiful Andrea Evans are the epitome of noble heroes. Although one is a Confederate soldier, and the other is a Union spy, among the throes of battle there is a certain harmony between them. The Civil War not only brought destruction, but it created wonders for a powerful setting in this award-winning novel. – Diva Jefferson

**Kindle Nation Daily Bargain Book Alert: Ashley Girardi’s WAYWARD is our eBook of the Day at just 99 Cents, with 4.2 Stars on 13 Reviews, and Here’s a Free Sample!**

December 18, 2011 by KND

Here’s the set-up for Ashley Girardi’s Wayward, just 99 Cents on Kindle:

Born without magic, seventeen-year-old Helena “Hex” Wayward is an embarrassment to her power-hungry relatives.

As the weakest member of the world’s most deadly magical family, Hex learns early how to avoid confrontation. There’s no defending herself against an errant curse or the pit-demon that her cousins like to summon during family reunions.

When the dark magic inside of her — magic that she never dreamt even existed — erupts in a violent display, it kills a member of a rival family.

Now, Hex’s family hopes to use her magic for their own sinister purposes and their enemies just want her dead. Abandoning her magic will leave Hex defenseless but she’s seen how quickly power corrupts even the best intentions.

She has to make a choice:

Save her life or save her soul.

From the reviewers:

I have read a few indie paranormal books, and this one really stands out. I don’t want to reveal too much, but the book strays pretty far from the “standard” romance you so often see in the genre. It is a very impressive first novel and I will definitely be reading the sequel when it is released. – Limukala

The first in a new series by Ashley Girardi, Wayward, is a great beginning to what I am positive is going to be a fun series to read. It had all the makings of a really good YA paranormal/urban fantasy novel. Danger, bad boys, snarky girls, and all of that compounded by magical problems and battles for survival. – Kiki Deister

I devoured the whole thing in one sitting! It’s not your traditional YA Paranormal Romance (though there’s definitely some steamy romance) and I came away from it really pleasantly surprised. The story kept me guessing the whole time and I was blown away by the ending. – Pamela E. Harris

Ashley Girardi is 25 years old and plans to stay that way for the better part of the next decade. She’s dabbled in a number of professions,from the service industry to military intelligence. While her current goals include publication, that’s really just a circuitous route to world domination.

Ashley’s influences include Friedrich Nietzsche, Kurt Vonnegut and Lady Gaga. Her favorite color is fluorescent beige and her favorite quote is from Robert A. Heinlein:

“Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards.”

**Kindle Nation Daily Bargain Book Alert: Maggie Bishop’s MURDER AT BLUE FALLS is our eBook of the Day at just $2.99, with 4.7 Stars on 6 Reviews, and Here’s a Free Sample!**

December 17, 2011 by KND

Here’s the set-up for Maggie Bishop’s Murder at Blue Falls, just $2.99 on Kindle:

Arson and murder disturb the Appalachian peace of the Triplett Valley’s Blue Falls Dude Ranch.

Jemma Chase, daughter of the ranch owners and trail-ride leader, becomes involved when her horse finds a body. Being an amateur CSI is fun until her meddling puts her life in danger. Detective Tucker’s suspicions disturb and annoy Jemma, but in the end, he becomes the answer to her prayers. Escape to the North Carolina mountains for a week on a guest ranch.

From the reviewers:

An established must-read romance author, Maggie Bishop has crossed into the mystery genre with finesse. Her latest novel is packed with suspense around a tightly-woven plot which begins with the poisoning of dogs and escalates to the murder of a local man. Throughout, she deliciously teases the reader with the bristly attraction between the investigating detective and the woman who found the man’s body and who just might be a suspect. Set against the beautiful backdrop of Boone, North Carolina, with engaging characters, red herrings at every turn, and a galvanizing story line, this is a must-have, must-read. Highly recommended. — Christy Tillery French

Can a woman character be an over-achiever? I thought so at first. Here is Jemma Chase, horse-woman, trail-guide, carpenter, photographer, CSI-forensics fan, who on discovering a dead body, decides to become an all-out sleuth! MURDER AT BLUE FALLS abounds with poisoned dogs, arson attacks, mysterious thefts, eccentric characters, and finally a dead man. – Dave Port

Courtesy of Maggie Bishop I have just had a cantor alongside Trail Leader Jemma Chase in the Appalachian mountains. Of course I don’t ride and I have never been to that part of the United States (yet), but it was fun and I felt that I was really there. – Lin B. Halton

**Kindle Nation Daily Bargain Book Alert: Michele Drier’s SNAP: THE WORLD UNFOLDS is our eBook of the Day at just $2.99, with 4.6 Stars on 15 Reviews, and Here’s a Free Sample!**

December 16, 2011 by KND

Here’s the set-up for Michele Drier’s SNAP: THE WORLD UNFOLDS, just $2.99 on Kindle:

SNAP, a multinational celeb TV show and magazine, is the holy grail for Maxie Gwenoch. When she snags the job as managing editor, she’s looking for fame, fortune and Jimmy Choos. What she finds is a media empire owned by Baron Kandesky and his family. A family of vampires. They’re European, urbane, wealthy and mesmerizing. And when she meets Jean-Louis, vampire and co-worker, she’s a goner.

The Kandesky vampire family rose in Hungary centuries ago. They gave up violence and killing to make a killing on the world’s commodities markets and with that beginning they built SNAP, an international celebrity multimedia empire. Now cultured…and having found food substitutes for killing…they’ve cornered the world market for celebrity and gossip journalism.

They haven’t fully left the past behind. Their Hungarian neighbors and rival vampire clan, the Huszars are starting to ramp up attacks, maybe looking to start a war to take over all the Kandeskys have built.

Maxie believes she’s found her ultimate career. She doesn’t realize that she’s found a family feud like none other, a centuries-old rivalry between vampire families, with her as the linchpin. Bells ring with Jean-Louis, but she doesn’t realize they’re alarm sirens until she learns that Jean-Louis is second in command of the Kandeskys…but by then it’s too late.

From the reviewers:

This is a great, light, fun, vampire romance summer read! – darcybot

When I was asked to review SNAP I wasn’t sure I could contribute a relevant opinion since I’m not a sci fi/paranormall/vampire fan, but after the first 25 pages, I was hooked. Ms. Drier has truly created a world that unfolds. The characters are not cardboard stereotypes they are real people who happen to drink blood. I turned the last page, looking for the story to continue. – RJC Romanski

I hadn’t been into the vampire genre for many, many years but added this e-book to my Kindle, started reading it and couldn’t put it down! It grabbed my interest right away and left me wanting more. Can’t wait for the sequel!!! – Jackqueline Timmons

All her life, Breena had always dreamed about fairies as though she lived among them…beautiful fairies living among mortals and living in Feyland. In her dreams, he was always there–the breathtakingly handsome but dangerous Winter Prince, Kian, who is her intended.

When Breena turns sixteen, she begins seeing fairies and other creatures mortals don t see. Her best friend Logan suddenly acts very protective. Then she sees Kian, who seems intent on finding her and carrying her off to Feyland.

That’s fine and all, but for the fact that humans rarely survive a trip to Feyland, a kiss from a fairy generally means death to the human unless that human has fairy blood in them or is very strong, and although Kian seemed to be her intended, he seems to hate her and wants her dead.
