**Kindle Nation Daily Bargain Book Alert: Rex Jameson’s LUCIFER’S ODYSSEY is our eBook of the Day at Just 99 Cents, With 4.3 Stars on 13 Reviews, and Here’s a Free Sample!**

December 14, 2011 by KND

Here’s the set-up for Rex Jameson’s Lucifer’s Odyssey, just 99 Cents on Kindle Until Jan. 1:

Lucifer languishes in an earthly prison, awaiting the apocalypse that will finally free him after 200,000 years. Before breaking loose, he discovers that the armageddon he set in motion will destroy the capital of Chaos, his home universe.

He travels back to Chaos and stumbles upon a bloody civil war devastating his homeland. The realm’s magic wielders are firmly under the control of a rival clan, and without their protection, Lucifer’s family is in mortal peril. As old demon clan rivalries blossom and a new hostile universe expands across the known multiverse, Lucifer is faced with not only protecting Chaos from annihilation but also saving his rightful place on the throne.

Lucifer’s Odyssey is the first book in the Primal Patterns series, an episodic glimpse into an alternate multiverse where many of our biblical histories and fables are premonitions of upcoming conflicts between immortals with god-like powers over truth and shadow. The sequel, The Goblin Rebellion, is set to debut in February.

Length: 85,000 words (350 pages)
Electronic versions on sale at $0.99 until January 1, 2012.

From the reviewers:

Rex Jameson does a wonderful job telling this story in a completely unexpected way. Lucifer is a good character and while I didn’t really relate to him much (he is still a bit of a sociopath at times) there are parts where it is easy to sympathize with his problems. – Rex

An interesting perspective on Lucifer, it’s not irreligious but it is completely different from the Christian worldview. The sci-fi fantasy themes drew me into this book right away. It contains magic, immortals, and complex relationships. A bit of a classical mythology spin (gods and goddesses are related and have family issues) combined with speculative/alternative history. An interesting read. I look forward to the next book. – Arador

Never in a million years did I think I’d be rooting for Lucifer! This book has a whole new take on the relationships between Lucifer, Michael, Jehovah and the rest of the gang. Lucifer, by the way, is the Crown Prince of Chaos and he’s stuck on Earth. This was an amazing story. – D.M. Lawrence

**Kindle Nation Daily Bargain Book Alert: Kathleen Shoop’s THE LAST LETTER is our eBook of the Day at just $2.99, With 4 Stars on 92 Reviews, and Here’s a Free Sample!**

December 13, 2011 by KND

Here’s the set-up for Kathleen Shoop’s The Last Letter, just $2.99 on Kindle:

2011 IPPY Gold Medal–Regional Fiction, Midwest,

2011 Indie Excellence Finalist Award for Historical Fiction and Regional Fiction,

2011 International Book Awards Finalist for Historical Fiction and Best New Fiction)

Katherine wouldn’t have believed it if she hadn’t found the letter…

Katherine Arthur’s mother arrives on her doorstep, dying, forcing her to relive a past she wanted to forget. When Katherine was young, the Arthur family had been affluent city dwellers until shame sent them running for the prairie, into the unknown. Taking her family, including young Katherine, to live off the land was the last thing Jeanie Arthur had wanted, but she would do her best to make a go of it. For Jeanie’s husband Frank it had been a world of opportunity. Dreaming, lazy Frank. But, it was a society of uncertainty—a domain of natural disasters, temptation, hatred, even death.

Ten-year-old Katherine had loved her mother fiercely, put her trust in her completely, but when there was no other choice, and Jeanie resorted to extreme measures on the prairie to save her family, she tore Katherine’s world apart. Now, seventeen years later, and far from the homestead, Katherine has found the truth – she has discovered the last letter. After years of anger, can Katherine find it in her heart to understand why her mother made the decisions that changed them all? Can she forgive and finally begin to heal before it’s too late?

From the reviewers:

I really loved this book. It was “Little House on The Prairie” meets reality! I learned a lot about prairie life that I had never contemplated. The characters were so well created. – L. Smith

Kathleen Shoop makes the lives of the pioneer women come alive. The dirt and disease and hard work that is a part of daily life are outlined in a way that is uncommon, transporting the reader to that time and place. She also recreates the interdependency between neighboring families and how strong those friendships were. This book is recommended for historical fiction readers, as well as readers interested in family dynamics. – Sandra Kirkland

Kathleen Shoop combines a wonderful story with compelling characters and very talented writing. I found myself stopping regularly to appreciate her art and to re-read passages that were so easy to absorb and enjoy, yet were profoundly descriptive and insightful. I first bought The Last Letter on Kindle, then had to have a hard copy. It deserves to be spontaneously picked up and savored. She truly is a gifted writer. – Mike Lee

This is a very eye-opening book as to how people actually lived on the prairies of the United States when territories were first being settled. When this family moved into their “Home” the former resident left a sign for them that read, “Welcome to Hell”. They should have turned and ran all the way back home, but they chose to stay out of stubbornness, pride, and wishful thinking. This was a great book. It’s definitely not “LIttle House on the Prairie” with happy endings at the end of every episode, but I’m glad I read it and highly recommend it. – Michelle Wegner

Thank you for reading about me here and for purchasing my novel! I’m married with two children. I’ve been seriously writing for almost a decade although I dabbled much earlier than that! I’ve had short stories published in four Chicken Soup for the Soul books, am a regular contributor to a local magazine, Pittsburgh Parent, and have had essays in local newspapers as well.

I have a PhD in Reading Education and currently work as a Language Arts Coach at a school in Pittsburgh. I work with teachers and their students in grades k-8 and am lucky to learn something new from them every time I walk through their doors.

My first novel, The Last Letter (2011 IPPY Gold Medal–Regional Fiction, Midwest, 2011 Indie Excellence Finalist Award for Historical Fiction and Regional Fiction, 2011 International Book Awards Finalist for Historical Fiction and Best New Fiction), was a fascinating trip through history, punctuated with fictional characters and events. The idea for the story grew from my great-great grandmother’s letters (see My Dear Frank for the complete set of letters!) written during the year of her engagement to Frank Arthur. The beautiful letters are the inspiration for the novel, the seed from which The Last Letter’s characters and their voices grew.

I’ve also written women’s fiction (COMING SOON!) and have written another historical fiction novel (COMING A LITTLE LATER!) set in 1948 in a town not far from Oakmont, PA.

I’m considering revisiting my characters and setting of The Last Letter for a future book, but I hope readers will enjoy the fact I write about varied eras and places and that they will love each book for it’s unique setting and time.

**Kindle Nation Daily Bargain Book Alert: David Rory O’Neill’s The Prairie Companions is Our eBook of the Day at just $2.99, with 4.3 Stars on 3 Reviews, and Here’s a Free Sample!**

December 11, 2011 by KND

Here’s the set-up for David Rory O’Neill’s The Prairie Companions, just $2.99 on Kindle:

Pat and Clara have only a vague idea of the hardships awaiting them in the year 1905, as they began their journey to fulfill their dreams. They soon discover that the world is much wider and much harsher beyond the walls of the boarding school where they first met.

Yet, they are steadfast and determined. Pat is seventeen, clever; her ambition is limitless and her drive, insatiable. Clara is eighteen, gentle, sensitive, loyal and aristocratic. They will do anything to throw off the conventions that bind them and find a place to build a life together.

From the Author:

I am aware some readers are suspicious of trilogies so let me offer reassurance. Each stands alone as an entirely satisfying novel. There are no teasers or things left unresolved to cheat the reader. One can read any one in the triology and then leave it or go back or forward in time.

From the reviewers:

This heartfelt historical saga is sure to open anyone’s eyes to love’s awe-inspiring possibilities. These characters are human; they bring the past to life. – jac

This is a heroic and passionate adventure about two intrepid and pioneering women at the beginning of the 20th Century who, at a very early age know what they want out of life. And oh boy, do they go after it. It’s a powerful story, which O’Neill once again weaves through real historical events. – Josie

The life the author brings to his characters is magical and involving. This is a gem and smashed all my expectations. – ReaderDee

I am from Belfast but have made my home in in Cork, which makes me a bit of cultural orphan perhaps. I’ve been writing all my adult life. The freedom that came with full-time writing of my novels, happened in 2004. I’ve completed twelve so far and more are bubbling.

I’ve decided to put them out as an independent publisher and all will be re-issued by davidrory publishing.

I welcome contact with readers so please do drop in at my blog and tell me nice things – no one likes negative!
From my mind and Mac to your imagination.

**Robyn Bradley’s WHAT HAPPENED IN GRANITE CREEK is our Kindle eBook of the Day at just $3.99, with 4.5 Stars on 12 Reviews, and Here’s a Free Sample!**

December 9, 2011 by KND

Here’s the set-up for Robyn Bradley’s What Happened in Granite Creek, just $3.99 on Kindle:

When Koty Fowler’s husband volunteers her to visit Jamie, a quadruple amputee who lost his limbs in Iraq, neither Koty nor Jamie is happy. Jamie resents being “babysat” every day. Koty resents her lot in life: almost 30, mother of three, and trapped in an unhappy marriage in Granite Creek, a small New Hampshire town. But when Koty and Jamie come together in a sexually-charged situation, everything changes.

While Koty continues to explore her relationship with Jamie, her life at home spirals out of control: her sometimes-abusive husband drinks too much, and her middle daughter is on a destructive path, skipping school and getting into fights, while Koty’s other two girls are left to watch.

What happens next, however, leaves everyone reeling, and the Fowler family must learn how to move forward, even as they struggle to understand what happened in their own backyard.

From the reviewers:

I’m a little bit heartbroken right now, a lot shook. This book is a powerful experience. Quite an emotional experience, reading this book. It was not what I had expected going in. – Ruth Madison

This book just pulled me in and kept me enthralled. I literally didn’t put it down and read it in just over six hours while waiting for a Christmas party to start. I have been reviewing books for several months now and this is definitely in the top five of my all time favorite books I’ve been given to review. – Gina Hurteau

Once I started reading, I didn’t want to put it down. I felt like I was right there watching Koty experience life. The story-telling was A+. You will experience a gamut of emotions as you read about Koty and Wayne and their struggles with life’s unfairness. Not to mention the ups and downs of raising three very different girls. Throw in a wounded soldier and the story explodes. I didn’t expect the outcome of this story AT ALL. – Mel Collins

**Kindle Nation Daily Bargain Book Alert: Marla Madison’s SHE’S NOT THERE is our eBook of the Day at just $2.99, with 4.7 Stars on 6 Reviews, and Here’s a Free Sample!**

December 8, 2011 by KND

Here’s the set-up for Marla Madison’s She’s Not There, just $2.99 on Kindle:

Women are missing . . .

Is the rising number of abused women who’ve gone missing a statistical anomaly? Or is a serial killer targeting this vulnerable group of women?

When the Milwaukee Police Department refuses to investigate because no bodies have been discovered, Lisa Rayburn, the clinical psychologist who discovers the anomaly, is drawn into an investigation to discover the cause after one of her own clients goes missing.

She finds herself forming an unlikely alliance with a former policewoman turned security consultant, TJ Peacock, and the husbands of two of the missing women who may themselves be murderers.

When TJ is attacked, and a woman looking remarkably like Lisa is found murdered, they know . . . someone is willing to kill to protect his secret.

Can they reveal the killer before he gets to them?

From the reviewers:

She’s Not There was a very well thought out suspense, with so many flips and twists in the story, it will leave you with your head spinning in the end. Marla Madison compiled a lot of short chapters, giving you with a feeling of reading micro fiction, which entices you into just reading one more chapter. If you are looking for something with suspense, conspiracies, and murder, then look no further. – C.V. Hunt

A great read which keeps the reader wondering what is going to happen on the next page. A story of women disappearing which takes you through the streets, sights and landmarks of Milwaukee and the surrounding areas as if you are there in person. – Rosemary

Marla Madison’s She’s Not There is a taut, suspenseful novel. A disparate group of people join forces to investigate the sharp rise in the disappearance of abused area women. As they start piecing the puzzle together, the killer begins to target them. The relationship between group members heightens as does the tension as the mystery develops. Very enjoyable! – Marjorie Doering
