Here’s the set-up for Mike Messenger’s Check Out Time in Atlanta, just $5.00 on Kindle:

The Continental is not your typical hotel and “Check Out Time in Atlanta” will not be your typical hotel stay.

This twisted crime thriller is imbued with titillating psychology and suspense. It is set in a crazy hotel where weird and disturbing events take place. Its overlapping Elton John rumors erupt wildly into an “America’s Most Wanted” type capture.

Gen-Xer, Cotie Garrett—among many insane and unforgettable hotel characters—finds his life is intertwined and forever changed by his disturbingly arrogant boss, Rob Duffy. Scheming and cunning, in this down and dirty south scenario, hotel manager Duffy goes to maniacal lengths to hide the hotel’s dark and urban underbelly. Yet its most vile secret ends up being revealed, after all.

From the reviewer:

This book is a kind of creepy crime thriller. It has many twists and turns inside of a fictionalized hotel. The author has a wealth of knowledge and a unique style of writing. It’s like a Grand Hotel from Hell with its seedy underbelly characters. Check out this great novel, you’ll be glad you did. – Laura J.

Janet Maple’s stellar career ended with a layoff and her boyfriend of almost five years told her that he wants to be just friends. When she lands a job at one of New York’s premier boutique investment firms, Janet begins to hope that her luck is finally turning for the better.

Not only is she happy with her new paycheck, but things also seem to be looking up on the personal front, as the company’s handsome attorney expresses keen interest in Janet. However, her euphoria is short-lived, as Janet soon discovers alarming facts about her new employer’s business tactics.

When her boss dismisses her suspicions as groundless, Janet finds herself confiding to a cute IT engineer, Dean Snider. The closer she gets to Dean, the more Janet is tempted to break her rule of not dating co-workers, but what she doesn’t realize is that everything she knows about Dean, including his occupation and even his name, is a lie.

Dennis Walker is a top-notch white collar crime investigator who will stop at nothing to put culprits away. When an opportunity for an undercover assignment at one of New York’s premier boutique broker dealers comes up, Dennis jumps at the chance, adopting a persona of geeky IT engineer, Dean Snider.

**Rebecca Reid’s Psychological Thriller The Coop (Thickets Woods Trilogy) is Our eBook of the Day at just $2.99 or Currently Free Via the Kindle Lending Library, and Here’s a Free Sample**

October 28, 2012 by KND

Here’s the set-up for Rebecca Reid’s The Coop, just $2.99 on Kindle or Currently Free Via the Kindle Lending Library:

Enter The Coop, a dark and misleading psychological thriller about the destruction of innocence.

A girl, apparently imprisoned in a room, is the thread of mystery running parallel to the tale of Thatchbury village.

Meet Howard and Lilly. They take you on a journey through Thatchbury where Mathew, the child from the coop, shoots Jodie Tiding, and so unravels the history of his loveless raising, her innocence and the dramatic events leading them to disaster.

The Coop is a darkly compelling vision of the layers of consciousness. Although conceived as the first novel in a trilogy, The Coop stands alone as a brilliant individual work of fiction.

From the reviewers:

‘Brilliant’ – Colin Bateman (Best selling author)

‘Original and disturbing. This is a beautifully written debut.’ – Sue Leonard, Irish Examiner

‘Reid dazzles. The Coop is hauntingly beautiful…a page turner.’ – Literati Literature Lovers

‘Great page-turner!’ – Marie-Louise Muir, BBC

This book will keep you guessing and at the end, blow your suspicions right out of the water. Nothing is as it seems or is it? The Coop is hauntingly beautiful and a page turner. Once you start you won’t want to stop and you’re left speechless at the end. Reid dazzles and I for one can’t wait to get my hands on book 2 and of course see how this trilogy concludes. – Jess

PLEASE NOTE: The print length is NOT 148 pages. It is 240 pages.

The Battle Comes Home.

After arranging a hopeful but risky alliance during their visit to the Amaranthian realm, Camille, Gavin, and the resistance don’t have much time to recover from their failed mission. Forced to create a new strategy to achieve their goal, they embark on a different mission—one that possibly holds the missing key to their quest for victory, and their deadliest one yet.

As they attempt round two to restore peace and freedom for their kind, they must rely on help from the living, the bayous, and beyond to decipher allies from enemies, good magic from bad, and whether the source claiming to lead the way to their destiny can be trusted. Racing against the clock to solve the mystery of their fate, they find the battle has come right to their doorstep, and this time, everyone must pay a price.

From the reviewers:

So good I couldn’t put it down. I was shortly dissapointed just because I read it so fast. Great ending to an even better series. – Shannon

When I first read Amaranth in October 2011, I was so excited to read something so original. Rachael’s trilogy is not just about your traditional vampires. Rachael’s are magical and spiritual, having deep backgrounds. So when I read The Tragedy of Knowledge I was sad, because I knew it was ending. This book showed us Gavin and Camille’s true relationship. I was so happy to see them finally together in The Gates, and they certainly didn’t disappoint this round. So here is the end of The Resistance Trilogy but I know that Rachael won’t leave us for long, she has some more great stories coming. Enjoy 🙂 – The Book Diaries

**Everyone Knows The Saga of Billy The Kid, Now Hear Billy’s Side – Ralph Estes’ The Autobiography of Billy the Kid is Our eBook and Here’s a Free Sample**

October 24, 2012 by KND

Here’s the set-up for The Autobiography of Billy the Kid by Ralph Estes, $7.99 on Kindle:

Everyone knows the saga of Billy the Kid. That story’s been told, in an avalanche of books, songs, movies, TV programs. And yet – no one has given Billy’s side. Until The Autobiography of Billy the Kid.

Oh, there have been many claims that it wasn’t Billy whom Pat Garrett shot in Pete Maxwell’s darkened bedroom on July 14, 1881. But in fact it was. Billy just didn’t die then. With the help of loyal friends he played dead, was “buried” long enough for Garrett to leave, nursed back to health, made his way to Wichita, and under the name of Henry Carter became a leading rancher until cancer laid him low.

And now: Billy tells his own story. What were his feelings and fears, his pleasures and regrets? What really happened, not the media and the movies’ and Garrett’s exaggerations. Just as Billy, as he lay dying in a care center, told it to a young Ralph Estes in 1951.

From the reviewers:

Ralph Estes writes like Billy the Kid lived: fast, furious, a great adventure. Hail, hail Billy the Kid and Ralph Estes. (John Nichols, author of The Milagro Beanfield War)

Authentic in detail and true to history, Estes delivers a fast-paced, engaging and enchanting account of the life of America’s favorite outlaw. A must read. (Paul Hutton, Distinguished History Prof., past pres., Western Writers of America)

A convincing and fun read – this book will appeal to history and mystery buffs alike. So when does the movie come out? (Former NM Gov. Bill Richardson, who considered pardoning Billy)

Full of wit, charm, humor, history. (Johnny Boggs, Western Writers of Amer. past pres., author Law of the Land: The Trial of Billy the Kid)

As Mark Twain quipped, If it didn’t happen this way, it coulda happened this way, & John Ford added, If it didn’t happen this way, it shoulda happened this way. (Marshall Trimble, Official Arizona State Historian)

Ralph has done something most historians are never able to do – turn a legend back into a human being. (Dave Stamey, Western singer/songwriter)

Could it be that up till now we’ve all been wrong? Sure could be! (R.W. Hampton, Western singer/songwriter)

From the author:

What would you have done as a boy orphaned at 14 in the Wild West of 1874, trying to make your way in a world of rough men – killers, outlaws, corrupt sheriffs, rustlers – every one of them toting a gun?

How would you have responded if you laid your life on the line in a deal with Governor Lew Wallace, who then callously betrayed you preferring instead to give his attention to his novel, “Ben Hur.”

Ride with Billy the Kid as he tells his own story, his feelings and fears, his hopes and dreams, making his way under the constant threat of Pat Garrett’s posses. Ride with the real Billy the Kid, not the unreal legend of books, songs, movies, TV – even a ballet!
