KB Book of the Day
The Moon in Deep Winter
by Lee Polevoi

$0.99
Kindle Edition published 2008-01-10
Bestseller ranking: 460964

Product Description
This literary thriller revolves around Parker Sloane. When he returns from a dismal foray into third-world cash-smuggling to his childhood home in the woods of New England, it seems he’s seeing his country and his blended stepfamily for the first time—and finding both just as twitchy, desperate, paranoid and unpredictable as the underworld types he thought he’d escaped.

Before he can even unpack, Parker goes head-to-head with his relatives—his tyrannical stepfather, seething younger brother, newly evangelical mother, and his alluring younger half-sister Rita—and with the demons they never exorcised.

Delicately but disastrously, Parker attempts to keep his family from imploding, unaware that they have their own plans for escape. The Moon in Deep Winter combines the dark comedy of the Coen brothers with the doomed lyricism of Denis Johnson, creating an airtight world of homicidal family dysfunction.

I gave an interview to Christina Hernandez, CBS for SmartPlanet on Operation eBook Drop last week. Come read it, comment and tweet. There's a direct link to Kidleboards in the interview.

HI, everyone.

I'm delighted to announce that I've joined "Operation eBook Drop." Two of my crime fiction thrillers are through Smashwords and Kindle.


DOUBLEBACK
http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/8482
http://www.amazon.com/Doubleback-ebook/dp/B002SG7OWG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&m=AG56TWVU5XWC2&s=digital-text&qid=1272124793&sr=8-2

Little Molly Messenger is kidnapped on a sunny June morning. Three days later she’s returned unharmed. Then the brakes go out on her mother's car. An accident? Except that her mother may have may have misappropriated three million dollars. Doubleback reunites PI Georgia Davis with video producer Ellie Foreman, who track leads from Chicago to Wisconsin to the Arizona border. (And yes, private security contractors are involved)    





EASY INNOCENCE
http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/8485
http://www.amazon.com/Easy-Innocence-ebook/dp/B001UE8J4Y/ref=pd_sim_kinc_1?ie=UTF8&m=AG56TWVU5XWC2

When pretty, smart Sara Long is discovered bludgeoned to death, it’s easy to blame the man with the bat. But when Georgia Davis — former cop and newly-minted PI — is hired to look into the incident, she discovers that some teen girls on Chicago’s North Shore have learned just how much their innocence is worth to hot under the collar businessmen.    


Btw, For more info about my other books and short stories (you can read excerpts), go to my website:

I just received the following email from Amazon.com:

"Hi Ed,

My name is Kinley Campbell and I work on the Kindle PR team at Amazon.com. I have heard a lot about the program you started, and I really think it is great.

We’re planning to do some outreach to some reporters about troops using Kindles, and I was thinking this might also be a good way to get some buzz around Operation Ebook Drop and help get more folks involved.

Ideally I’d like to be able to offer these reporters your email address in case they’d like to get in touch with you and get more info about your project, etc.

Would this be ok with you?

Thank you very much,
Kinley"

Of course, I said yes.

Great news... this should go a long ways in reaching those troops who might otherwise not hear about the program. I'm grateful for your continued efforts in supporting this project, Ed.

Lots of things happening, folks. Authors who have sent me links and coupons for the Authors Gift to Authors, be patient with me. I will be sending out that email soon. I've deeloped a pip of a cold and am fading fast. Also, a new Publisher is coming on board - Soltice and I'm working with Kelly Abell to get that in place also.

Thanks all
