Sex and Danger – They’re always intertwined in our Kindle eBook of the Day, KayAnna Kirby’s erotic romance Claimed By Desire – here’s a free sample!

May 18, 2011 by KND

Anyone could fall prey to an ill-considered one-night stand, but CPA Allison Cain’s involves Bryson Anderson Jr., an alpha male who has it all: money, power, women, even his own island. When they meet again in the Cayman Islands it turns out that their indiscretions have consequences that could destroy them all, or change their lives forever.

Here’s the set-up for KayAnna Kirby’s erotic romance Claimed By Desire – $4.99 on Kindle:

A Good Girl Gone Bad…

Certified Public Accountant Allison Cain screwed up. Against her better judgement, she sleeps with a man she meets for the first time. The next morning he is nowhere to be found. She is left alone and feels used.

But that wasn’t the end of her torture, because Allison discovers her one night stand leaves her with more than hurt feelings.

A Billionaire With Everything Except…

Bryson Anderson Jr., multi-billionaire real estate developer, has it all: money, power, women, even his own island. A real estate acquisition brings him face to face with the alluring Allison once again on the tropical Cayman Islands.

When he hears Allison is expecting his heir as a result of their explosive one night stand, a primal urge for a family is born. However, he has to convince an angry Allison to be a family even if it’s just for their child.

He didn’t realize he could lose his heart in the process.

When Bryson becomes the target of a jilted rival out to destroy him, Allison and Bryson will have to fight for their lives and their hearts—before it’s too late.

KayAnna Kirby is a little introverted, but fun (when she decides to loosen up a bit.) She fell in love with reading in elementary school and continued to devour books whether she worked for a toy store, retail clothing store, International Banking Company, or sold cars or cosmetics.

KayAnna has a four year old daughter who is going on sixteen. KayAnna lives with her wonderful husband Gregory, who has to put up with KayAnna constantly forgetting their wedding anniversary. (He forgets too.)

She was told specifically not to adopt her dog Titan from the pound, because the employees said he was “peculiar”. After six years, she must reluctantly agree.

KayAnna works with her husband (and no, neither of them have tried to kill the other…yet) in a suburb outside of Atlanta, where they currently live.

Seeing is believing. The demons are real. Joanna just has to convince everyone else before it’s too late, in our KND eBook of the Day: Shaun Jeffrey’s DEAD MAN’S EYE — Just 99 cents on Kindle!

August 17, 2011March 11, 2011 by Steve Windwalker

Here’s the set-up for Dead Man’s Eye by Shaun Jeffrey:

Author Shaun Jeffrey has written a dark and brilliant novella. – Fiktshun

Blighted by an eye disease, Joanna Raines undergoes a corneal transplant operation to stop her going blind. The procedure is successful, but in the weeks that follow she begins to see dark coronas surrounding certain people. By turns fearful that something has gone wrong and worried that she’s going crazy, Joanna searches for an answer to the phenomena.

What she finds will change her life forever. The transplant has opened a door in her mind, and the strange coronas are not legacies of the operation but proof that a legion of demons plans to invade the earth!

Now the only thing that stands between the demonic horde and their plot to take over the world is Joanna, a young woman with the power to see them for what they really are.

Seeing is believing.

The demons are real.

Joanna just has to convince everyone else before it’s too late.

From a Reviewer: Through her new eye, a dead man’s eye, she is now able to see what others can’t, an evil that resides within, an evil that is spreading. But what can one former photographer do to stand up against the powers of hell? Will Joanna be able to find help before it’s too late? Or will the legions of hell claim her first. —Fiktshun (an Amazon reviewer).

In Richard Jackson’s sci fi thriller of futuristic “extreme broadcasting,” everyone gets what they have coming in the end. Here’s a free sample of Fall from Grace, our Kindle Nation eBook of the Day at just 99 cents!

August 17, 2011March 10, 2011 by KND

In today’s Kindle Nation eBook of the Day, “caster” Tyler is living a life of action and adventure–until he loses his job and comes face to face with the darker side of a futuristic broadcasting industry. He soon learns there is much more for him to lose … and much farther to fall. Just 99 cents on Kindle!

Here’s the set-up for Richard Jackson’s Fall from Grace:

Imagine futuristic broadcasters giving you not only the images and the words of news events, but the emotions as well. It would take a special kind of reporter to let you tune into his fear, anxiety, hope, exaultation and passion by way of special implants, a special kind of journalist like Tyler.

As a Caster, Tyler uses cybernetic implants to broadcast his emotions and experiences to the viewers at home. He is living a life of action and adventure–until he loses his job. Now he must hustle illegal broadcasts and take odd jobs to survive.

When his agent is killed, Tyler is framed for the crime. With his only allies–an ex-cop turned criminal and a bartending medical student–Tyler is plunged into the middle of a mystery and comes face to face with the darker side of the broadcasting industry. Tyler soon learns there is much more for him to lose…and much farther to fall.

A Reviewer Summarizes:

Extreme Broadcasting…

Imagine a world where you not only see the news but you can also experience it while it’s happening.

Now meet Tyler, a `caster’ who would do anything for a great story. After this superstar falls from grace, he begins to see life through new eyes.

Jackson does a terrific job creating a world that’s sure to put you on the edge of your seat. Not only is the main character well done, but all the supporting characters are finely tuned as well. Even the psycho killer is someone you will love to hate. Take the time to read this adventure packed thriller, a great read and an author worth watching.

5-Star Fiction! Critically Acclaimed Snake Walkers Has Just Been Released in a Kindle Edition, and It’s Our Kindle Nation eBook of the Day!

May 19, 2011January 24, 2011 by KND

In Africa, the Snake Walkers are a mythical tribe that teaches its children from birth how to walk through a nest of poisonous snakes without being bitten. In J. Everett Prewitt’s fictionalized Arkansas town of the early 1960s, the snakes are no less poisonous….

After the 2005 hardcover edition received unanimous critical acclaim, Kindle Nation is happy to announce that J. Everett Prewitt has just released his novel Snake Walkers in a Kindle edition.

Here’s the set-up:

In his first novel, J. Everett Prewitt brings us a critically acclaimed story of violence and transformation in a small Arkansas community during the early 1960s.

Traumatized as a child after witnessing a hanging, Anthony Andrews, the first black reporter at the Arkansas Sun, seeks to solve the mysterious abandonment of a small town and the disappearance of fourteen white men.

His investigation leads him from rural Arkansas to Cleveland, Ohio as he tries to uncover a family secret kept hidden for over a decade. The closer he gets to the truth, the more he must question his own motives.

His quest not only reveals the true identity of people he has met along the way, but also points Anthony toward a path that leads to his own salvation.

The Reviews:

Snake Walkers is a captivating book. –Midwest Book Review

Prewitt is a natural story teller. I was drawn right into the story. He captured my attention from the first paragraph. The plot carries with it all the elements of conflict, romance, and intrigue. The story unfolds a haunting theme of mystery. –Richard R. Blake, Vine Voice Top 1000 Reviewer.

“Snake Walkers is a fascinating read that revisits a horrific time in history where the lives of African Americans were tragically taken by those who wanted to suppress them.” –Books2Mention Magazine.

(Prewitt) develops complex characters and a fascinating mystery with historical roots. It is an engaging novel with insights to ponder. –Small Press Review, July-August 2005, Kaye Bache-Snyder

SNAKE WALKERS is a dynamic work of fiction with a slow, deliberate pace that is reminiscent of Southern Life. The characters are well developed, colorful, flawed and each of them is transformed in the course of the story. The plot is full of twists and suspense; this adds an additional layer of richness to an already compelling work of historical fiction. — RAWSISTAZ Reviewers. (Editor’s note: RAWISTAZ is recognized by Writer’s Digest as one of the Top 101 Websites for Writers for 2006 & 2008. It promotes literature by and about African-Americans.)

Everett writes with a great mastery of plot and characters capturing the attention of readers right from the riveting opening to the punding climax…This compelling page-turner marks the debut of an extremely promising new talent. –BookWire Review

A pirate wench is not what “she” seems in today’s Kindle Nation eBook of the Day, The Wind And The Sea, by Marsha Canham. Here’s your free sample!

October 6, 2011December 31, 2010 by KND

“In this action-packed historical romance, the only time people rest is when they’re downed with fever or knocked unconscious. Nineteen-year-old Courtney Farrow, daughter of Duncan Farrow, the most feared pirate on North Africa’s Barbary Coast, can fight, swear and think as well as if not better than most men.”

Here’s the set-up for Marsha Canham’s historical romance adventure, The Wind and the Sea:

A pirate wench, disguised as a boy, is captured by an aristocratic US naval ship’s captain and pressed into service as his cabin boy.

This action-packed swashbuckling adventure is a classic tale of romance, revenge, and breathtaking exploits on the high seas.

The time is 1804 and the U.S. Navy is attacking and destroying pirate strongholds on North Africa’s infamous Barbary Coast. Courtney Farrow, daughter of one of the most feared and successful corsairs, is captured by Lt. Adrian Ballantine, proud, handsome, and determined to tame her spirit.

Constantly battling their attraction, they must become reluctant allies in order to discover who is selling secrets to the corsairs, and who has sold out the Farrow stronghold.

From Publishers Weekly:

In this action-packed historical romance, the only time people rest is when they’re downed with fever or knocked unconscious. Nineteen-year-old Courtney Farrow, daughter of Duncan Farrow, the most feared pirate on North Africa’s Barbary Coast, can fight, swear and think as well as if not better than most men.

But the time is 1804 and the U.S. Navy is attacking and destroying pirate strongholds. In battle, Courtney, disguised as a boy, is captured and forced to become cabin boy to Lt. Adrian Ballantine, proud, handsome, and the only man who can tame her spirit.

He has other things on his mind, though, namely discovering who is selling secrets to the pirates; she, meanwhile, suspects a traitor in the pirate ranks also. Packed with well-drawn characters, fiery sea battles and, for the most part, accurate information, this book is a good read. (Copyright 1986 Reed Business Information, Inc.)
