Here’s the set-up for Yogi Kanna’s Nirvana, Absolute Freedom, just $2.99 on Kindle:

Imagine everlasting freedom and fulfillment. Does it seem elusive? Do you have to keep striving and competing endlessly to attain it? Can you breathe a sigh of relief once you have enough wealth, fame, power and recognition? Will you be satisfied once you find your perfect soul mate? Or do you have to wait for the afterlife to rest in peace?

In Nirvana, you are taken on a journey of deep inquiry to help uncover your own truth. You learn about a much simpler and more effective way to reconnect with your true Self and rediscover the forgotten treasure that lies buried deep within you. Once you learn to tap into this inner treasure, you begin to experience a state of freedom from worry, freedom from dependence, freedom from suffering; a state so deeply fulfilling that no objective experience can even come close. Thus commences our journey to absolute freedom: Nirvana.

From the reviewers:

Great guide to spirituality for beginners as well as an acknowledgment for people who have already commenced their journey in this path. You can go back and refer to it whenever you feel overwhelmed with the mundane. The author has very simply shown the downside of a materialistic realm and how it can keep us from actually living. The chapter on meditation shows you how to apply this practically thence helping you grow spiritually — Ask

I was really inspired by reading this book to start meditation. I totally recommend this to anyone who would want to explore spirituality. It also brings perspective from different spiritual leaders around the world. – Ravikumar Chakaravarthy

I really enjoyed the section on anger. It explains why we feel anger and how to let it go. The book actually explains a lot of our emotions that tend to hold us back and how best to deal with them. – C. Groves

**Kindle Nation Daily Bargain Book Alert: Kathleen Shoop’s THE LAST LETTER is our eBook of the Day at just $2.99, With 4.0 Stars on 90 Reviews, and Here’s a Free Sample!**

November 28, 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: S.K. Nicoll’s THE POWER BEHIND THE THRONE is our eBook of the Day at just $2.99, With 4.1 Stars on 26 Reviews, and Here’s a Free Sample!**

November 27, 2011 by KND

Here’s the set-up for S.K. Nicoll’s The Power Behind The Throne, just $2.99 on Kindle:

Ten Centuries of Royal tradition under threat… and all because a boy wants to meet his father.

The reign of Queen Elizabeth II is finally drawing to a close. American student Jack Hollander is the one man who can stop Prince Charles from fulfilling his destiny. He just doesn’t know it.

Something else he doesn’t know: His death warrant has been signed by the Sceptre Committee, a secret organisation with a simple but vital objective; to protect the monarchy at all costs.

Hollander, freshly arrived in London to study architecture, is trapped in a high stakes game he doesn’t realize he’s playing – until he discovers the shocking truth about his own identity and the grim secret that has already destroyed his family.

Torn between ex-girlfriend Megan and Rachel, the English rose he meets on a tour of Buckingham Palace, he sets out to extract revenge. But will Jack Hollander get to meet his father before the Sceptre Committee sends him back to Seattle in a body bag? And if he succeeds against all odds, will the British monarchy survive ‘its greatest threat since Oliver Cromwell’?

Sally Nicoll’s debut novel combines meticulous research with high octane thrills. Like her previous best-seller, Bets and the City, it is a genuine page-turner with a breathtaking climax – and an astonishing sting in the tail. The Power Behind The Throne will appeal to fans of David Baldacci, Frederick Forsyth, Robert Ludlum, Vince Flynn, and Michael Dobbs.

From the reviewers:

I was initially drawn into reading this book because of increased visibility of British Monarchy as a result of the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate. If you do enjoy speculating about who is the real power behind the throne, you will enjoy this book (let’s just say that appearances can be misleading). I read it in only a few days and found it stunning. – Floyd – London

Here’s a look at what the Brits might actually do to protect all that glittering fairy-tale pomp of trumpets and golden carriages. This thriller catches you on the first page and doesn’t let you stop turning them until you’re done. – Beverly Swerling

A rolicking ride and a great premise! I truly enjoyed this thriller: a great beach read, especially this summer with all eyes on the British monarchy! – Alexandra E. Wax

She lives in London’s Primrose Hill with her dog – the true hero of Bets and the City – who has not yet forgiven her for featuring an Irish Setter called Caesar in her fiction debut, a high stakes political thriller: THE POWER BEHIND THE THRONE.

**Kindle Nation Daily Bargain Book Alert: Fingers Murphy’s FOLLOW THE MONEY is Our eBook of the Day at just $2.99, with 4.5 Stars on 24 Reviews, and Here’s a Free Sample!**

November 26, 2011 by KND

Here’s the set-up for Fingers Murphy’s Follow The Money, just $2.99 on Kindle:

“Always assume people are lying, but never assume you know why.”

For fans of Grisham, Martini, and Grippando, now comes Fingers Murphy, a gripping and gritty new master of the legal thriller. Get ready to lose some sleep as you enjoy a great read from the author of The Flaming Motel.

Oliver Olson went to law school to help people.

But when one of the world’s most prominent law firms offers him a high paying summer job, he thinks he’d be crazy not to take it. He soon finds himself enthralled by a world of wealth, privilege, and power.

Blinded by his gilded new world, Ollie is slow to see that something is not right with the case he is assigned to work on – a case with no chance of winning, given to a “summer associate” merely to keep him busy.

Are people following him? Is he imagining things? Are they listening to his conversations? Why are people coming out of the woodwork with a sudden interest in a twelve year old murder case? And is it really possible that the wrong man went to prison?

Ollie wants to succeed, but when he sacrifices his own moral standards for a shot at the big time, he winds up staring down the barrel of a gun.

When you’ve sold out and can no longer follow your heart, you can only FOLLOW THE MONEY.

This novel is 75,000 fast-paced words.

From the reviewers:

“Move over John Grisham. I would highly recommend this book. I thought it was an impressive debut novel. It’s not only well written and entertaining, but shows how easily people can get suckered, when they’re not thinking clearly and their judgment is clouded by illusions of comfort. “– Debbi Mack, NY Times Bestselling Author of Identity Crisis and Least Wanted

“Kept me on the edge of my seat. Fingers Murphy did an excellent job of keeping this chick-lit reader engrossed in a story outside of her norm. I found a whole new genre of books to love.” – CCJackson

“Fingers Murphy has created the first of what I hope is a long list of books! I found out about Follow the Money on twitter, read the reviews, purchased it, then couldn’t put it down! I even stayed up past my bedtime because it was so good! A suspenseful page-turner that keeps you guessing right up until the end, with a twist you probably won’t see coming (unless you’re naughty, too). Either way, you’ll enjoy each juicy page!” – Honoree Corpon Corder
