Modern Templars Face An Ancient Enemy in Our Kindle Nation eBook of the Day, Terrence O’Brien’s The Templar Concordat – Here’s a free sample!

If you were intrigued by the ideas in The Lost Symbol and The Da Vinci Code, but you could do without all the artsy esoterica, here’s a fast-paced thriller that should hit your sweet spot!


Here’s the set-up for Terrence O’Brien’s THE TEMPLAR CONCORDAT:

When the truth is your greatest danger, and the enemy knows the truth, things can only go downhill when the enemy finally gets the proof. And that’s the proof the Hashashin get when they steal what the Vatican doesn’t even know it has.


Now the infallible decrees of two Twelfth Century popes and three kings, stolen by the Hashashin, threaten to catapult the bigotry, bias, and religious blood baths of the Third Crusade straight into the Twenty-First Century.

When Templars Sean Callahan and Marie Curtis are drawn into the mess, they face an ancient enemy that has already nearly won the battle, a newly elected Mexican pope being undermined by entrenched Vatican powers, world class scholars who will sell their prestige to the highest bidder, and terrorists lingering over lattes in sidewalk cafes.

Moving from Rome to London, Switzerland, and Saudi Arabia, Callahan and Curtis are desperate to find some way to stem the success the Hashashin are having enlisting the majority of moderate Muslims in their Jihad.

Outmanuevered at each step by the Hashashin, only a last ditch roll of the dice has any chance of success. But it’s the only chance they have.

If Larabeth McLeod goes to the police for protection, people will die. And one of them will be her daughter … Mary Anna Evans’ environmental thriller Wounded Earth is our Kindle Nation eBook of the Day

Larabeth McLeod has beauty, money, a successful environmental firm, and some very old secrets. If she goes to the police for protection, people will die. And one of them will be her daughter.


Here’s the set-up  for Mary Anna Evans’ thriller, Wounded Earth:

Larabeth McLeod has beauty, money, several patents, a Ph.D., a successful environmental firm, and some very old secrets. When the man who calls himself Babykiller begins stalking her, terrorizing her with stories of her own darkest days in Vietnam, stories no one else knows, she feels compelled to fight back…until he exposes her most tender secret of all by threatening the daughter she has never met.


She turns to private detective J.D. Hatten for help, breaking five years of estrangement and silence between quarreling friends. And then Babykiller shows his true capabilities. He is the head of an illicit business offering but one service–moving cargo worldwide for criminals who need their drugs or cash or smuggled goods shipped safely and anonymously–so he is capable of putting anything anywhere. He quietly explains to Larabeth, a well-known environmental executive, that he can even put defective gauges in nuclear power plants, and he will, just to get her attention. If she goes to the police for protection, people will die. Lots and lots of people will die. And one of them will be her daughter.
Larabeth and J.D. are just two people, up against a babykiller. But then, Babykiller doesn’t know who he’s dealing with…

WOUNDED EARTH is the first environmental thriller by award-winning mystery writer Mary Anna Evans, author of 13 novels and short stories on Amazon, 11 of them in the Kindle Store, including the popular Faye Longchamp mysteries ARTIFACTS, RELICS, EFFIGIES, FINDINGS, FLOODGATES, and, most recently, STRANGERS.

The return of an undead Daddy complicates life in our Kindle Nation eBook of the Day, Donna Butler’s Manifesting Daddy. Here’s a free sample!

In Donna Butler’s Manifesting Daddy, Melanie has a mean case of depression. But life only gets more complicated when Daddy returns from the dead – and moves in next door!

Here’s the set-up:

In Manifesting Daddy, Donna Butler explores death, rebirth and reinvention with a skillful blend of naughty humor, irreverence and compassion.

Melanie Brodie is suffering from one mean case of depression. She’d love to end it all, but she has kids to consider, even if, in her mind, they and everyone else in her lousy, stinking life would be better off without her. Her shrink- a young, Chinese grad student who looks and talks like a skater boy- and her best friend, Juniper, who looks and talks like she just stepped out of Woodstock- are both eager to help. Sure, Dr. Park might curse or call her “dude” every now and then, but the kid makes a lot of sense. And when Juniper proposes a Manifesting Daddy ceremony, Melanie knows the poor woman means well. But only Juniper would think they could actually connect with the spirit of Melanie’s dead father-reincarnated no less- and draw him back into her life so that he could cure her depression. Only Juniper would consider that a perfectly reasonable solution.
Melanie, a self-described pushover, goes along with it. As does Marisol, her other childhood friend, a sexy Latina who attends the ceremony just for the chance to bicker with Juniper- something she’s loved to do since they were kids. Weeks later, when someone moves into the vacant house next door, Melanie assumes it’s just coincidence that they own an antique  desk that looks vaguely familiar. And later, when she meets that new neighbor and he literally picks her up when she’s down, it’s still too soon to make a connection. As her friendship with Austin grows, her marriage falls apart, and still she refuses to question the intensity of their relationship. Only later, when faced with a glimpse of her own mortality does she realize where she’s seen those eyes before. 

If what Melanie suspects is true, all of the sanity and success she’s found, thanks to Austin, could go out the window. Because in coming back into her life, he’s come between not only her and her husband, but between her and Juniper too.

Five Star Review
The author is new, but there’s some really good writing in this book. Excellent characters. Very touching story. I think it would make an awesome chick flick with someone like Hillary Swank or Sandra Bullock as Melanie.–Limey

About the Author:

 

Skinny Thinking grew out of Laura Katleman-Prue’s desire to heal the eating, weight, and body image issues that plagued her for 35 years. She discovered that the root of her problem was the way she thought about food.

In fact, changing her diet was irrelevant, if she didn’t change her thinking habits. By teaching herself to go on a “thought diet” and transform her relationship with food, she experienced permanent healing. 

This healing motivated her to write Skinny Thinking and to lead Skinny Thinking Workshops in order to help others heal their eating issues as well.

Laura attended Pomona College and pursued graduate studies in Marketing at Boston College. In 1980, she founded the Boston Brownie Company Inc. with retail and wholesale distribution in 2,000 stores in 14 states along the eastern seaboard.

In 1992, Laura completed coursework at Lesley University in Counseling Psychology. That same year, she received a Certification in Transpersonal Psychology from the Theravision Institute. A long-time meditator, she has been teaching meditation and self-inquiry for the past four years. She began teaching Skinny Thinking Workshops in 2009.

Laura offers both Skinny Thinking Workshops and individual sessions. For her workshop calendar go to: http://skinnythinking.com/home/calendar/
In addition, Laura offers two types of one-on-one phone sessions:
1.    The Skinny Thinking approach to healing eating, weight, and body image issues for people who have read Skinny Thinking, Skinny Thinking Daily Thoughts, or Skinny Thinking for Men
2.    Nondual, spiritual guidance for awakening.

  • A Treasure Hunting Legend… 
  • Four Ordinary Kids… 
  • Two Magical Medallions… 
  • Pursued By An Ancient Evil… 
  • In One Extraordinary Adventure

Here’s the set-up for a great tween/teen read, Secrets of The Magical Medallions:  The Treasure Hunters Club Book 1:

Join the Treasure Hunters Club as they look to unlock the Secrets of the Magical Medallions…. 

But Reader Beware … Some Secrets Are Better Left Alone.

Now an ancient evil is pursuing his every move and his treasure hunting club friends, Shannon McDougal, Jackson Miller and Chris Henderson are on the run.

They must unlock the secret to the medallion before evil can hunt them down.

From The Reviewers:

Finding treasure isn’t always a good omen. “The Secrets of the Magical Medallions” follows the treasure hunters club as they find powerful, magical medallions. They soon realize that when you find power, there is always someone out to take it, and the four kids in the club find evil hot on their tales. A fun adventure for younger readers, “The Secrets of the Magical Medallions” is a choice pick. —Midwest Book Review


The idea of an adventure that combines Hardy Boys Mysteries with Indiana Jones and National Treasure was the author’s inspiration to get reluctant readers to enjoy novels. Hooray for targeting this often overlooked audience! McCartney has mixed mystery and magic in a tale that reaches beyond the backyard. He wisely chose to create a slim volume; the 160 page book will be readily picked up by reluctant readers.–V.S. Grenier, Editor of Stories For Children Magazine 

If you have kids who enjoy action-packed reads, they’re in for a wild ride with this first book in the Treasure Hunter Club series. The Secrets of the Magical Medallions has been called a mix of The Hardy Boys and Indiana Jones with a little piece of the movie, National Treasure, thrown in. I loved reading The Hardy Boys as a kid and the Indiana Jones movies were some of my favorites so I had high expectations for this book. To author, Sean McCarthy’s credit, he nails it here. This is an excellent adventure story. It’s really fast paced and will keep readers anxious to get to the next page. —Book Dads

Find Out What Might Have Happened off Cape Cod on a Stormy February Night in 1952, in Our Kindle Nation eBook Of The Day, John M. Urban’s A Single Deadly Truth

The waters off the Outer Cape have been taking seamen’s lives for centuries. Now, in a very contemporary sea yarn by John M. Urban, they give back A Single Deadly Truth:

Here’s the set-up:


On the stormy February night in 1952, the 500-foot oil tanker Pendleton snapped in half in 60-foot seas off Cape Cod. The ensuing rescue of the Pendleton ranks as one of the most heroic stories in the history of the US Coast Guard. That much is true. John M. Urban’s novel A Single Deadly Truth explores another story that might have begun that same stormy night – Just $2.99 in the Kindle Store!

In a work of fiction, A Single Deadly Truth tells that another ship sank that same night, just a few miles from where the Pendleton went down. The ship’s sole survivor remained committed to taking the story, and the ship’s location, to his grave. Until now.

A Single Deadly Truth features a thirty-five year old college professor and part-time harbormaster named Steve Decatur. He spends summers living aboard an old wooden sailboat in the town of Harbor Point, Massachusetts. When Decatur’s friend, a lobsterman and diver named Chris Blanchard, is found dead off Cape Cod, Decatur is called on to retrieve the man’s boat. Along the way, there’s growing evidence that Blanchard’s death was a murder, not an accident.

To the end, Decatur remains persistent in uncovering the truth. In doing so he uncovers a much larger crime.

About the Author:

Like his protagonist, John Urban has worked as a college professor and he sails the waters of Southern New England on an old wooden sailboat that he restored. He is a regular contributor to the blog Write On The Water. His short stories have appeared in the anthologies Seasmoke and Deadfall.


The ocean was his desired destination from an early age. As a boy living a landlocked life in Western Massachusetts, nights were dedicated to reading about boats and watching Flipper and weekends were spent boating and fishing, April-to-October, on Long Island Sound.

Thoughts of a career at sea ended early after a stint at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy, but the circle of life has come around some years later in the form of the fictional world of Steve Decatur.

Urban lives just outside Boston and spends his summers near the waters edge of Buzzards Bay and Rhode Island Sound. A Single Deadly Truth, published on Amazon Kindle, is Urban’s debut novel. A second Steve Decatur mystery is due out in 2011. For more information: http://www.johnmurban.com/

Louise Erdrich’s Love Medicine meets The Education of Little Tree in Our Kindle Nation eBook of the Day, Ghost Country by Dana Michelle Burnett. Here’s a Free Sample!

 
Dana Michelle Burnett

Carrying echoes of Amy Tan and Rebecca Wells, Dana Michelle Burnett’s debut novel Ghost Country takes the reader into the lives of three Cherokee women and the lives of their modern day daughters.

Here’s the set-up for Ghost Country by :


Told in a series of vignettes that alternate from the era of the Civil Rights Movement, Woodstock, and the Vietnam War, to the present day.


From the Author:  

Ghost Country features a glimpse into my own Cherokee ancestry mixed with fictional characters and compelling stories.  

“The idea for the novel sprang from the Cherokee heritage of my own family, from one generation to the next; our tie to the Cherokee has become less evident.

“With the birth of my daughter, I began to research our Cherokee lineage so that perhaps my daughter’s connection could be stronger than mine was.  During my research, these characters came to mind.  Ghost Country became the result.”

Dana Michelle Burnett spent most of her life writing short stories and sharing them with family and friends.  She was fresh out of high school when she earned a spot as a guest columnist for her local newspaper, The Tribune.  In the years that followed, her work was published in numerous commercial and literary magazines including Just Labs, Mindprints: A Literary Journal, Foliate Oak, and many more.  Her short story John Lennon and the Chicken Holocaust was included in The Best of Foliate Oak in 2006.

She took over the family’s successful home decor business, and is also author of Home Decorating For The Real World.
