Once again it’s Monday afternoon in Kindle Nation, so we’ve got good news and bad news. And then we’ve got some more good news.
For the past week, the THE MILLSTONE PROPHECY author Jack Harney has been helping us all out by sponsoring Week #4 of our Kindle Nation KINDLE FIRE Sweepstakes.
We had a new record of 2,583 entries, and we had hundreds of winners.
Well, of course we had one big GRAND PRIZE winner. Judi Gordey of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, who has been a Kindle Nation citizen since May of this year, was randomly selected from all the entries to win a KINDLE FIRE tablet. We connected with Judi this morning and she quickly overcame her fear of scams and spams and embraced the very welcome idea that there will be a brand new Kindle Fire arriving on her doorstep on November 16.
But hundreds of other participants are big winners, too, because they
have had a chance to discover Jack Harney’s true 5-star thriller THE MILLSTONE PROPHECY.
After all, it’s all about the reading here at Kindle Nation. (And just in case you are wondering, Jack paid the full cost of Judi’s new Kindle Fire. Every
penny. What’s that? Did you ask me to repeat the links to THE MILLSTONE PROPHECY in the Kindle Store? Okay then. Thanks for asking! The Fire is slated to ship on November 15, and Amazon has confirmed for us that Judi’s will arrive at her home on November 16!)
Those who haven’t won a Kindle Fire yet — yep, there’s that bad
news we mentioned — will not have to wallow in despair for long. Why?
Because we have already opened up our Kindle Nation Week #5 KINDLE FIRE
Giveaway Sweepstakes. The Week #5 Sweepstakes runs until noon on Sunday
November 13, and entry details can be found at the end of this post.
But there’s another changing of the guard that we would be remiss not
to mention: we have a brand new sponsor for Week #5, and those who have
yet to discover Matthew Frick’s tale of international intrigue Open Source are in for a special treat at the equally terrific price of just 99 cents!

“International intrigue at its best….Frick’s
characters are authentic and likeable….[His] extensive knowledge of

Here’s the set-up:
What if a ship carrying a cargo of stolen Russian missiles bound for Iran was mysteriously hijacked? What if Israel was secretly behind the hijacking? What if the guy who fills the vending machines in the office break room figured the whole thing out?
Based on actual events, OPEN SOURCE is a geopolitical thriller that follows Casey Shenk, a Savannah, Georgia, vending route driver with an insatiable curiosity, as he uncovers a black-market arms deal-gone-bad and the truth behind a high-level plot to shape world politics.
Casey draws his evidence from open sources; by reading beyond the headlines. When his theorizing catches the attention of the wrong people and anonymous threats turn deadly, Casey looks to Susan Williams, an intelligent, but insecure, analyst for the New York-based consulting firm Intelligence Watch Group for help. The two soon find themselves in the crosshairs and fighting to save their own lives, while preventing an even greater injustice that could affect the balance of power in the Middle East and plunge the world headlong into the next Great War.
One Reviewer Notes:
Casey Shenk is an ordinary man, living an ordinary life, with a sub-ordinary job, two ordinary friends and one unusual passion: blogging about world politics. He speaks only English, has a rather pedestrian education and loves spending time in lower class bars: but he is curious about the world he lives in, he doesn’t tire easily, and enjoys solving puzzles. The problem is that he also likes publishing his opinions and findings on the internet.
Intrigued by a bizarre news item, he uses his Google-fu to scour the public internet for clues and explanations; based on what he finds in open sources he assembles a plausible hypothesis, and posts it on his blog. The hypothesis is more right than wrong, and powerful people take notice; some see him as a problem to be solved once and for all, while
others see him as a potential resource to be used….

Of course not!
Here are the details on the Kindle Nation Week #4 KINDLE FIRE Giveaway Sweepstakes:
There’s no purchase required, but we do need you to go to our Kindle Nation Facebook page and “Like” us. Give the page a few seconds to load, because for some reason it takes a little longer.
Then just scroll down and follow the prompts to enter the sweepstakes, and you’re done! (Of course, if you want to really improve your chances of winning by multiplying your good fortune by your good karma, we hope you’ll take a page from recent grand prize winner Steve Wisener’s book and pick up each of our sponsors’ titles. But like we say, there’s no purchase necessary.)
It’s that simple.
Good luck. And happy reading!
