Kindle Nation Daily Bargain Book Alert: Mike Jastrzebski’s DOG RIVER BLUES is our eBook of the Day at just $2.99 with 4.6 Stars on 8 Reviews! Free Sample Included Here!

October 3, 2011 by KND

Here’s the set-up for Mike Jastrzebski Dog River Blues, just $2.99 on Kindle.

A sexy relative who wants to teach Wes Darling the meaning of kissin’ cousins, a priceless centuries old manuscript, a three hundred pound redneck, and an ex-spy who thinks murder is a justifiable means of support are just a few of the things awaiting Wes when he sails into the Dog River in search of answers about the father he never knew.

Dog River Blues blends the mystique of the liveaboard boating lifestyle and the colorful characters and vagabonds who live, work, and sometimes commit murder on our nation’s waterways. This is one voyage to Mobile, Alabama you don’t want to miss.

From the reviewers:

Suspense set on the water and family secrets explored by an excellent writer with a sure hand on the tiller. You will love this book: Five stars! – Sandra Balzo, mystery author

In the tradition of the PIs of old, Wes Darling jumps into another wild case with women, bullets and murder. Mike spins a great tale and if you appreciate a fun read, this one ought to satisfy. – Richard N. Norman

Great afternoon adventure. What a wild ride this book took me on. This was my first experience with this PI and I have to say, he is well worth the time to read. – JoJo431

Great action thriller! All Characters came alive with details. I was wore out with all they went through to find Grandpa’s missing book! Really exciting, nice explanions on history and scenery. I hope there will be many stories about Wes Darling and his adventures! – D. Waid

An entertaining read – I finished it in less than one day – and am fully looking forward to other Wes Darling stories. Colorful characters abound, including a 300 pound bully named Fish, a whole bunch of guys with some form of the name Bob, and other interesting folks, all living in and about a marina in Mobile, Alabama. Throw in a sexy kissin’ cousin, an alleged ex-spy, and a whole new, here-to-fore unknown family unit, and settle in for a rock ’em, sock ’em really good time! Mike Jastrezebski knows how to tell a good story! – Bill the Cat

I’ve been anxiously awaiting the second book in the Wes Darling series and it was worth the wait. While I was initially saddened to see Wes point his sailboat away from Key West the setting on the Dog River in Mobile was refreshingly new to me and I enjoyed learning about it. – S.R. Campbell

In September of 2003 my wife, Mary, and I moved aboard our 36-foot sailboat, Roughdraft. We sailed the boat from Minnesota to Mobile, Alabama where we lived for two years docked at a small marina.

We also spent three months living at a mooring in Key West. Currently, the boat is docked in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

In 2011 we intend to take the boat to the Caribbean where we plan to drift until it is no longer fun.

When I moved aboard it was my intention that I would write a novel. Six years later I have completed 3 mystery novels. The Storm Killer, Key Lime Blues (A Wes Darling Mystery), and Dog River Blues (A Wes Darling Mystery), are now available as paperbacks and eBooks.

Kindle Nation Daily Bargain Book Alert: Our eBook of the Day is JL Wilson’s VENGEANCE, a tale of reincarnation gone terribly wrong – 10 out of 11 Rave Reviews, Just $1.99 on Kindle, and Here’s a Free Sample!

October 2, 2011 by KND

Here’s the set-up for J.L. Wilson’s Vengeance (The History Patrol), just $1.99 on Kindle:

Imagine being torn away from all you know and love. Now imagine being torn away from your place in time. That’s what happened to Nico Haidess, who is trapped not just in time but in a reincarnation gone wrong.

He’s a Guide with the History Patrol, sent back from 2190 and now stranded in 21st Century America. He’s been reunited with the love of his life, Lucinda Delacroix, who has been reincarnated in this place and time. There’s only one problem: he doesn’t recognize her as his lost love and she doesn’t recognize him.

To Lucinda, Nico is just a handsome stranger, a man who seems oddly familiar. And to Nico—a paid assassin—Lucinda is just an assignment, a suspected traitor. He must kill her on Easter morning and make it look like an accident.

Luckily one other creature can help. Cerberus is a telepathic dog on special assignment with the History Patrol, sent to bring these two lovers together. Cerberus has a vested interest in the fate of Nico Haidess and he’ll do whatever it takes to see Nico and Lucinda reunited—even if it means dying and defying God to accomplish his purpose.

But the clock is ticking for all of them and time is starting to run out.

From the Author:

This originally started as my vampire book, but I decided that was too limiting. So I kept some of the vampire aspects (eternal life) and expanded it to be one of my reincarnation stories. Hope you enjoy it — it’s also one written from a male P.O.V., which was fun to do… — J.L.Wilson

From the reviewers:

With a blend of time travel and reincarnation, this is the most creative and original time travel romance I’ve read. Author J. L. Wilson (also known as Jayell Wilson) does a great job of keeping a complex plot clear and organized while being entertaining and keeping the story zipping along. – Laura D. Lloyd

Our hero has a quest to kill a man that’s eluded him for two hundred years. He’s also supposed to ‘bump off’ our fiesty heroine in the next few days. Enough conflict to hold my interest. Fast-paced, the novel, didn’t disappoint. — Donna Caubarreaux

I laughed. I cried. I angsted. My heart broke for the characters. For me, a 5-star book is one where I didn’t see the ending coming halfway through the book. With this novel, I didn’t see it until I read it, and it all made perfect sense. Simply put, I greatly enjoyed the action-packed ride that was Vengeance. I want more! I will be looking for more from this author. – Rhonda

The author wrote very eloquently on each of the characters, that it was easy to see and feel them. It was very well written and the kind of book you don’t want to put down. – Reader 29

The story kept me guessing on who was behind everything I would think I had it figured out and then something else would happen to change my mind. I would suggest this story to anyone who likes some suspense and romance. – Brenda L. Walls

Souls and soulmates with an element of Time Travel. All in all it was a great read. – Cheryl M.

Kindle Nation Daily Bargain Book Alert: Li Bo’s TIENKUO: THE HEAVENLY KINGDOM, is our eBook of the Day at just $2.99 with 4.8 Stars on Five Reviews, and Here’s a Free Sample!

October 1, 2011 by KND

Here’s the set-up for Li Bo’s Tienkuo: The Heavenly Kingdom, just $2.99 on Kindle:

It was the year 1858 and three young runaways; Jason Brandt, son of a Hong Kong missionary, his friend Wu Sek-chong and the beautiful and defiant Black Jade, set off to find the capital of the rebel Taiping Tienkuo, The Heavenly Kingdom of Great Peace.
Established in 1851 by a failed civil service candidate who claimed to be the little brother of Christ, the semi-Christian Taiping Kingdom, had made a dramatic and bloody bid to overthrow the Confucian rule of the Ching Dynasty.

The three young people’s search for the Heavenly Kingdom and what they eventually found among the Taipings is the central plot of this historical novel of journey and self-discovery in 19th century China. Written by Professor of East Asian studies, this novel was created not only to entertain but to teach about political, social and cultural life in China during the mid nineteenth century.

Li Bo is the pseudonym of a Professor of Asian Studies.

From the reviewers:

I enjoyed the novel immensely–it’s a fun and exciting read. The author gets the big things right–the terrible violence and corruption of the Taipings in their late stages, the disgust of many Westerners for Chinese customs, and the unusual determination and stubbornness it took for those Chinese and Westerners alike who stuck with the Taipings, or in the case of Westerners, those who stayed to pursue a career in China. — John Rapp, Beloit College, author of “Clashing Dilemmas: Hong Rengan Issachar Roberts, and a Taiping ‘Murder’ Mystery,” Journal of Historical Biography 4 (Autumn 2008): 27-58.

“Exciting Book…I like it very much. The characters are believable and the cultural details about customs accurate.” — Dr. Alice Murong Pu Lin,author of Grandmother Had No Name

I like the book…it really held my interest…I am truly impressed.” — Micki S. Nevitt, Children’s Literature Librarian, Guilderland School District, NY

“A rare treat. An engaging and historically accurate way to introduce young adults to a myriad of topics about China, including family, Confucianism, class differences, women’s roles etc. — Mel Horowitz, Catskill High School, Former President, U.S. China People’s Friendship Association

I was swept away with the compelling and engaging story. I was captivated with this adventure from beginning to end. To add to my delight, I came away realizing that I had been given insight into an historical event, so not only was I richly entertained, but I was cleverly educated as well. What more could I ask from a book? My only regret is that Li Bo has not written more. I am certain there are more great tales to tell lurking in the guise of dry historical facts. – Donald Samson

Masterfully interweaving history, culture, and characters, TIENKUO takes readers on a fascinating journey through 19th century China. – Edward Tick

September 28, 2011September 28, 2011 by KND

Here’s the set-up for Michael Scott Miller’s Ladies and Gentlemen … The Redeemers, just 99 Cents on Kindle:

Ladies and Gentlemen…The Redeemers tells the story of Bert Ingram, once a successful rep in the music industry, who has lost his way.

Desperate for redemption, the perpetual dreamer decides to put together a band, recruiting musicians who have only one thing in common: the need to overcome a significant obstacle in their lives.

The volatile mix of the musicians’ personalities and backgrounds threatens to derail the band at every opportunity, but in time, the Redeemers begin to realize they have more to gain from one another than they ever could have imagined.

From the reviewers:

What if that bum you walk by every day is a brilliant saxophonist? Or suppose the slacker kid washing dishes at your local diner has enormous potential as a world class drummer but just needs someone to believe in him? These people exist. Often, the only difference between success and obscurity is one chance encounter. This is a story of redemption. But it’s also fun, well-written, and full of characters that grab hold of you and won’t let you go. A truly great read. – BookAddict

This book was so uplifting. Wonderful characters, great plot lines. I felt as if I was a part of their lives. I’ll never look at street performers the same again. – AvidReader

This is a wonderful book, well written and entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed it. – Maria Savva (a reviewer for Bookpleasures)
