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.

Oh my, I never got thoes pics up, did I? Well here they are!
Gwan Yin (Quan Yin) Goddess of mercy. ($125)

Good luck coin, it is about 7 1/5" x 5" ($110)

I have also decided to let me little Shisa pair go to a new home. I have my big ones that I love and my shelves are getting too full. I need to make room so I can get more! The bases have cracked, but it doesn't effect the jade at all. ($90)
 It's the two in the front!


And here is a Buddha I got that I couldn't decide if I wanted to let him go or not, but I will offer him if anyone is interested. He was expensive, but he's very solid and beautiful with lavender spots on him. ($380)
Well...it looks like I don't have a pic of him right now. I will go take one and post it when I get a chance.

For everyone waiting for a package from me, I did get them back from the PO on Saturday. They were in bad shape from all the handling, so I spent sometime re-packing and making sure they were fit to ship. Everything is back on it's way and should be there soon. Please let me know when you get it. I was so intent on getting stuff on it's way, I forgot to get the names off the packages. If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me!

I got more necklaces, the pictures are uploading as I type this (I'm multitasking! or at least, my computer is). For reference, here is a picture of me wearing several lengths of pearls so you will know how it will hang.

The white one is about 16", next is an 18" triple strand, the chocolate pearls are 24" long, and the long black strand is 48" and will double beautifully, or you can knot it, twist it, it can be worn many ways!

Yesterday I went to Costco and they had a speciality jewelry stand set up.  They had an identicle strand of multi colored beads I bought from you for I think about $15 and they were selling it for $199.00!  They were identicle.  You sell your stuff for an awesome price will be buying more for gifts.  Smiley

So glad to hear that! I know how expensive pearls can be. I am actually a certified gemologist, not that really means much, but I know how to spot a good deal!

So here's the list of what I got this weekend, I averaged all the prices and since they are all styles that I have already posted pictures of. I will describe them and give prices only. Lately taking pics has been a real pain!!! I stoppd by for a couple hours Saturday and then spent about 6 hours there on Sunday and I got some really good deals!

There are 5 48" strands. These are the long strands that can be worn doubled, twisted, knoted, wrapped...you can do a lot with these, I wear a black strand knoted like a tie with a dress shirt. Very cute! They all come with a brooch and earrings. Each one is ($23). I have 3 black, 1 peach, and 1 white.

Three of the triple strands. These ones are 18", 2 pink, 1 white. 1 pink is ($13), the other is ($14) and comes with earrings. The white is ($17) and comes with earrings and a brooch.

2 single strand 18" necklaces. 1 chocolate ($11), 1 black ($11)

4 single strand 16" 2 multi w/peach/white/black with earrings ($9)each, 1 peach with earrings ($9) and 1 black ($8)

None of these are new styles, so there are pictures posted of all of them in this thread. If you want pictures, let me know and I will PM with the pictures I have! Thanks!
