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.

Let's all remember to keep the troops in our prayers today, particularly those who are away from their families during the holidays. And a special blessing to Ed for starting this whole ebook operation!

I received this thank you note from one of the troops and wanted to share it and remind everyone to check up on their expiration dates.  Mine were set for December because I never thought that the Ebook Drop would grow like it did.  I'm very proud and pleased to be a part of it and will continue to update and send free book codes to the troops until they all come home!

Mr. Carroll,
I want to thank you for such a wonderful gift for all of us military
members..it is greatly appreciated..I will definitely provide some
feedback when I am done reading your books..I have so many books to read
from so many authors I just don't know where to begin..Thank you once
again for your support for all us. Also not sure if you knew or not but
the code for your Red Cross of Gold III does not work..it says it is
expired?..well take care and Have a Merry Xmas..I am a pretty fast
reader so hopefully you will hear back from me soon.

More Troop Coupons being redeemed for Boomerang!

And I'm keeping my fingers crossed that a positive note from one of the reporters with the Arizona Republic turns into a go ahead from her editor to do a piece on Operation eBook Drop.

Happy New Year to all!

I just put my book on Smashwords, and I registered at the OEBD page, but I'm still not sure how to get my book listed so the troops can get it.

Hi.  Follow this link to the OEBD forum to see all the genres currently available.
 http://operationebookdrop.com/forum/index.php?board=8.0

This is in the portion viewable to everyone, so don't post your coupon codes.  There is a way to put up a restricted link, and the instructions are in the Authors' section of the forum.

If you need another genre, let me know and I'll set it up.

Once you have published an e-book on Smashwords, then you can go to the Dashboard tab, then click the link for "Generate and manage Coupons" on the left side of the page. That takes you to https://www.smashwords.com/dashboard/coupons which has your title(s) listed with a "Generate Coupon" link for each book.

On Smashwords, from the top tabs, choose Dashboard, then from the menu on the left pick Generate and manage Coupons. You want to create a coupon that provides 100% payment. The rest should be self-explanatory.
