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.

Hi all. Back from vacatio, where I had limited internet access. Have a backlog of new authors and troops and some ideas from members in my email slot. I will attack these on Sunday, so if you're waiting, forgive me and go vote for me in the Queen of Mean thread  Grin

Ed,
From the Kindle UK thread:

What a fantastic idea! My husband is a submariner in the Royal Navy - would he be eligible? How does the scheme work?

I said she should get him, or his commanding officer, to email you.

I hadn't thought of submariners, it feels rather cool to think someone could be reading my books deep under the ocean.

That is somehow very very cool.
The whole thing is brilliant, but the idea of being read deep under the ocean is somehow intriguing.

On Wednesday, Operation eBook Drop will celebrate its first Anniversary. What better way to celebrate than to add 5 new Military Members and 10 new participating authors, bringing us to:

<=474 OEBD Authors =-=-=-=-=—:}
The Indie community has many things going for it, but for me, it's their generosity, sense of patriotism and their big, big hearts.

Thank you author and readers and especially the brave women and men of the coalition Armed forces who put their lives on the line daily for our basic freedoms.

I just saw this thread and want to send all five of my books to the troops, but don't have time to read all 50 pages of this thread to figure out how.  If you want it zipped up, let me know of the format you want them in, and I'll send them to whomever would want them.  I don't even care if they pass them around...if they're interested.

Thanks for setting this up, Ed!  Can someone just let me know what to do to send it out, or whatever I need to do?  PM me if necessary...I want to thank ALL the troops for what they do for us!
