Kindle Nation Bargain Alert: Summer Beach Reads by Kindle Nation Fave Robyn Bradley … and Each of Them at Just 99 Cents!

(Ed. Note: It’s always a treat to introduce a talented writer for a guest post – especially when she has a gift for hitting the sweet spot at intersection of Great Reads and great Prices! — S.W.)

A Guest Post by Robyn Bradley
If you’re a fan of books that fall somewhere between smart chick lit and women’s fiction, you won’t want to miss Forgotten April…a sister story with an edge.
One Amazon reviewer calls it a “great summertime read because it’s smart but also fast-paced and fun.” Another says, “It was very hard to put this novel down. I thought about it when my mind wasn’t otherwise occupied, wondering what was going to happen next.”

If you’re in the mood for something shorter — you know, something to read in between naps while floating around the pool — check out the short story “Crush.” It’s literary and quirky, but consider yourself warned: you may never look at a Cape Cod beach in the same way ever again.
What’s it about? Here’s the scoop: Living a quiet life as a single mother, Louise Gunther is proud to have successfully raised her only child, Teddy, to adulthood. But all that changes one summer afternoon when Teddy dies in a freak accident on a Cape Cod beach. Moved beyond ordinary grief, Louise becomes obsessed with the manner in which Teddy died, determined to recreate his final moments, even if it means dying herself.

Kindle Nation Bargain Book Alert: Check Out BEAUTIFUL BEINGS, the Latest Release from Novelist Kailin Gow and Save 60% on Four of Her Books for Just $1.99 Each!

Part gothic,
part love story,
part thriller: 

In Kailin Gow’s Beautiful Beings, the realm of the spiritual world where angels and demons walk the earth is revealed in a captivating story about a girl named Lux, who is gifted with the ability to see the spiritual realm and to use this gift to save souls.

Part gothic, part love story, part thriller; Beautiful Beings introduces a feisty heroine, the hypnotic otherworldly beautiful classmates she meets at an exclusive boarding school, and the love she could never have.

Read an excerpt here:

“A wave of warmth, scented with cinnamon, entered the still darkness of my room. As I sat up in bed, it tickled my nostrils and brought me to a state of semi-consciousness; aware I was in my room, but with the distant knowledge that I wasn’t fully awake.

In the corner, between my clutter filled dresser and my half opened window, I saw his shadow. He’d come again, dark, silent and mysterious as he stood waiting for me to acknowledge him. I should have been filled with fear and the desire to scream out for help. My body should have reacted swiftly to the intrusion, shooting out of bed and clambering to find the comfort of my parents’ room. But I felt safe and longed for him to stay.

He stepped forward, shadows forever keeping him obscured and allowing me to take in only the breadth of his shoulders, his strong and powerful height and just a hint of glimmer in his eyes. I detected a flash of joy and love in that glimmer.

When he sat on the edge of my bed and reached out to caress my face, I didn’t flinch or back away. It was as it should be, as it always should have been. His touch belonged to me; his hands, his fingers, all so warm, caring, loving. My head suddenly heavy, I leaned my cheek into his palm, wanting more than just a gentle caress…”

But that’s not all!
For one week only, bestselling novelist Kailin Gow is offering Kindle Nation citizens a special 60% discount on each of four novels from her “Frost” series!

His muscular body turned my way, and he crossed the room in a few decisive steps.  I noticed with a startling sense of awe that his eye color had changed.  Instead of the crystal-blue hue that I had seen time after time, even in my dreams, his eyes were brilliantly silver and the dark brows arching defiantly over them were creased with tension.  He grasped one of my hands, pulled it towards him, and turned it over.
“Michael…”  I breathed his name like a prayer.
I watched, disbelievingly, as he pressed a fiery kiss into the palm of my hand.  I had never before felt the alarming sensation of Michael’s lips on my flesh.  It was a moment I would not soon forget.  Every other sensation in my body ground to a sudden halt when I felt the warmth of his lips.  It seemed as if every other part of my body had gone numb with the shock of it.  But the palm of my hand was burning.  It was a rolling heat that made me gasp.
When I raised my head to look at him, all I saw was a blur of motion.  He had moved so fast that I had barely realized he was leaving.  I heard the backdoor open and the screen door squeak as he passed through to the back yard.  Then a terribly cold silence fell over the room.

Eileen Schuh’s compelling debut novel THE TRAZ confronts young readers with life’s complicated and unsettling issues, but it also provides a guide to help illuminate these challenges – 12 straight rave reviews, just $2.99 on Kindle

THE TRAZ, a newly released YA novel, is as daring, raw, and spirited as its young heroine. It’s exhilarating entertainment but it also contains a vital message for those on the cusp of maturity and for the adults who guide them. All lessons all deeply woven into the fast-paced action, the superlative characterizations, and the inter-generational relationships that make this book a page-turner.
Eileen Schuh

Eileen Schuh’s debut novel has received multiple 5-star ratings and been honored with superlative reviews from several top authors. THE TRAZ has garnered a 4.8-star rating on 12 straight rave reviews and is currently available on Kindle for just $2.99.

Katrina is thirteen, an orphan, grieving and alone. But she is more than that. She’s intelligent, beautiful, wealthy, and intrigued by the dangers of street life.

Shrug’s a giant of a man with a voice of thunder and eyes of granite. He has tattoos, a leather jacket with The Traz gang patch, and a motorbike. When he asks Katrina if she wants a ride, she makes a decision that will change her life forever.

Katrina quickly discovers the violent and horrifying side of life on The Traz compound. But there is no way for her to escape until she meets Chad—an undercover cop with rich brown eyes, a gentle chuckle, and a plan to get Katrina safely out of the clutches of the gang.

However, there’s a problem…somebody is keeping dangerous secrets from them both.

Praise for THE TRAZ

“The Traz is well written and beautifully set up. The author definitely has a plan for the whole series, and it’s gonna be good.” ―Michelle Latiolais, Reading Lark Reviews

“Schuh creates complex characters and raw dialogue. This is a fast paced novel where redemption is found on the saddle of a Harley.” –Garry Ryan, author of the Detective Lane mysteries.

“Raw and emotional with fast-paced, gripping tension, The Traz is a must-read for tweens, teens and parents.”―Cheryl Kaye Tardif, bestselling author of Children of the Fog

“5-stars! Check out this dangerous ride today…I highly-recommend this book.” ―Donna Carrick, award-winning author of The First Excellence

Schuh’s young readers do not have to face life’s complicated and unsettling issues alone. THE TRAZ is released with a Teaching Guide to give youngsters, parents, educators, law enforcers, and other community leaders an opportunity to discuss and explore the darkness that at-risk teens are both facing and fleeing.

On sale now for only $.99 in the Kindle Store:

The Overtaking, a new release from New York Times bestselling author Victorine E. Lieske.

High school senior Shayne Bartlet has been kidnapped, his powers disabled and his memory altered. He’s having a bad day…and he doesn’t even know it.

Shayne thinks he’s a typical teenager at a college prep boarding school on Earth. He couldn’t be more wrong. The girl he likes is keeping secrets–which doesn’t work too well when Shayne begins to hear her thoughts.

Danielle knows she can’t fall for Shayne. It would never work out between them. For one thing, she’s lying to him about who she is. She’s responsible for his kidnapping. That tends to cramp a relationship. Besides, she’s leaving his planet in a few weeks.

At least, that was the plan…

The Overtaking is a sweet romance, appropriate for all ages.

Think “Huck Finn meets Kerouac meets Catch-22 against the backdrop of a 60s haze” and you might be ready for George O’Har’s humorous 5-star road novel THE THOUSAND HOUR CLUB

The Thousand Hour Club
by George O’Har

4.8 Stars – 16 Reviews – Just $6.99 on Kindle!

Isn’t it time you found out what’s behind 16 straight rave reviews on Kindle?

Captivating Read (Ruth Douillette, Amazon Review)

The Thousand Hour Club hits the ground fast and hard. Our intro to Tom Betz is when he witnesses the murder of his best friend Albert in a sleazy New York park. Experience and cowardice—or is it street smarts?—push Tom to run off. He tells no one what he saw, even when the body is discovered and Albert’s sister in her grief accuses him of murder. It’s not Tom’s finest hour, but it’s his wake-up call.

Tom is a college drop out with a dead-end Dairy Queen job and no sense of purpose. The hovering shadow of Albert’s murder consumes him waking and sleeping, filling him with such anxiety that when he gets his draft notice, it seems “like a get out of jail free card.” Viet Nam war be damned, he joins the Air Force. Tom is forced to mature as he maneuvers through basic training and gets his assignment, which eventually leads him to Greece…

This is Tom’s tale. He tells it with a self-deprecating wit and intelligence that belies his deceptive naiveté. And if Tom is one who takes life as it comes and adapts to it, rather than steering his own course, this works from him—as it does for most of us. He may not be a mover and a shaker, but he’s a survivor, and wiser in the end than even he realizes. O’Har creates a complex character in Betz. It would be nice to meet him again in a future book.

Thanks All Around (Sally, Amazon Review)

…special thanks to George O’Har who wrote what I already know will be prominently featured on my 10 Best of the Year list of books for 2011. I don’t know if O’Har himself lived all of Tom’s adventures or not, I suspect at least some of them are true-to-life, but either way I think there is a Tom Betz in the world right now and he did live this life and he’s still living it and I want to know more. I want to know what he did next.
