Interestingly, The Atomic Lobster by Tim Dorsey is a free pre-order available on Dec 29, but you can also get the book on Kindle now for $7.99 (Click on the author's name, then look at his list of books on Kindle. I was trying to find out more about the book as the Free book link doesn't have any description or ratings....

Sporadic thank you for all of this work.
Thank you for the praise  If you can, spread the word to any Kindle owners you may know Interestingly, The Atomic Lobster by Tim Dorsey is a free pre-order available on Dec 29, but you can also get the book on Kindle now for $7.99 (Click on the author's name, then look at his list of books on Kindle.

I think it's the same book as the $7.99 edition but with bonus stuff (to help draw new readers to buy other Tim Dorsey books?) The free one is 558 KB and the old $7.99 one is 371 KB |

Good point, Sporadic. Hopefully it is the full Atomic Lobster and not a sample and bonus stuff....Amazon has been playing the free pre-order sample card lately. But they sucked me in on this one. I ordered it. Will post when it comes in.

The free one is 558 kb in size, while the $7.99 one is 378 kb (I may not have memorized those exactly, but they are close). So either the free one is the full book, or it has a LOT of surplus material added to a small sample. I've ordered it also, we'll see. |

FYI, I have removed the chatter from this thread, and will continue to trim it so it sticks to the topic. Thanks for understanding! |

Robert Kroese's Mercury Falls is 99 cents right now. He says it may go back up to $1.99 at the beginning of the year. I'm reading it now and it's really quite good. Mercury Falls |

This title would actually belong under the "Free Novellas/Short Stories" category. It's a short prequel to her YA paranormal series. |

True. Thank you for bringing it to my attention, I'll move it. If anybody notices something that isn't right or a link is no longer working, please tell me. I'm only one guy and sometimes I mess up. |

Sadly, this one is now $7.99. I should have "bought" it last week when I had the chance! |
