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.

Reposted from the Amazon Operation eBook Drop thread:

"This brings a smile to my face, and I'll admit some tears to my eyes. What a wonderful program. I have a son, in 22 days (but who's counting) who will be starting Marine bootcamp. He loves my Kindle, and I know for quite sometime he will not be able to use one.. but next year if there comes the time when he proudly serves our country overseas, I am happy to know there are still wonderful people trying hard to help and support our troops. THANK YOU to our women and men who are currently are serving and who have served our country. And thank you for doing book drop for them."

Just received this from Kandahar, from one of the troops added today to Operation eBook Drop:

Wow!  The response has been overwhelming.  Thank you very much for setting this up.  It willl take quite some time to filter through (and download) the books, but I can already see that there are some great books in there.
 
Thanks again!

My book is already available to the troops through smashwords.com, and the link is:  http://www.smashwords,com/books/view/14643, but I don't think I've had much of a response--2 free sales.  I'm hoping more service members show an interest as the months pass.  I think this is a wonderful program.  Keep it going, Ed.

Hi Ed,
I'd like to make my book Erich's Plea available for the troops - not sure how to go about it?  I know it's probably already been mentioned but....  Huh

Cheers,

Just sent an email to all the troops on the mailing list with a link to Twenty-Somewhere at Smashwords and the coupon code. Cheesy

Thanks so much for organizing this, Edward! I have to admit, with my boyfriend's brother in the Marines now, my whole perspective on the military has become... different. I always supported them in theory, but now I do my best to support them with my actions too.

Ed, is there a link you can post for this? I really want to do this but I can't seem to find the link. I don't really want to read 47 pages of this thread to find it. All my books are up on Smashwords, so is it just a coupon thing?

Help me help!

EDIT: never mind. I think I found it.

You just send me an email edwpat@att.net, and I'll set you up. I have a few authors and troops this week. Setting up is me sending you the mailing list of troops. Each author takes care of their own contact on the drop.

Thanks

Ed, I have just written an article about ebooks for the Writers Guild of Great Britain which will go out to members in the quarterly magazine and will also go up on the WGGB website.  I mention Operation Ebook Drop in passing (there's also a very brief mention of the Kindle Boards, too).  I'll let you have the link when it goes up.
