There was a rumor in the summer and fall that Amazon wouldn't charge you until you had 30 emails ($3.00 worth) to avoid that exact problem. Nobody has ever fessed up to being charged the $3.00 either.
At this point I'd be ecstatic to get a charged for an email conversion...what can I say?...It's a bothersome puzzle.
I've e-mailed at least 30 to my kindle, and have NEVER been charged. I think Leslie said she's done at least a hundred and have never been charged. I'm not complaining, I'm going to keep it up until Amazon catches on! |

Not a book, but a free copy of the Financial Times, the Inaugural Edition is offered by Amazon today.  It should show Single Issue: $0.00 .. then just click on Buy Current Issue. Enjoy! Lynn D Cool beans!  Thanks for sharing that! I figured out the email of PDF's... read the manual, what a concept! The files came over fine and look great! The Tess Gerritsen one has some problems in the first couple of pages due to an image, but once you get past that it reads just fine.  |

The Tess Gerritsen one has some problems in the first couple of pages due to an image, but once you get past that it reads just fine. Actually, I lied. I didn't learn the pdf thing from the manual! I learned it from the wonderful FAQ book! So... THANKS LESLIE! |

Thanks to everyone who asked for a free copy of Book I of my trilogy, When Women Were Warriors. Extra special thanks to those who bought the sequels, wrote a review, and/or recommended my book, either here on this forum or elsewhere.  A few requests did get caught in my spam filter. I believe I rescued them all, but if you asked for a free book and didn't receive one, please try again. Catherine M. Wilson http://www.whenwomenwerewarriors.com |

I don't know how to make the picture of the cover in my reply, so maybe someone will help me with that, but Laurie Notaro's newest book, "The Idiot Girl and the Flaming Tantrum of Death" is free right now. I downloaded it immediatly. I love her Idiot Girl series.

AT the top of this web page on the left is something called "link-maker". Click on that, type in the book you want to link to, click make a link, select the option with picture and copy and paste into a post.

Welcome Kaydee. You should go to introductions and introduce yourself so everyone knows you're new. We like to know things like what part of the country you're from, are you an owner, is your Kindle on order, what is the expected delivery date. Lots of posts to read and things to learn.
Congratulations on your first post.

Here's the product description:
Not all faeries have wings. Not all goblins are green. And not all wars are fought on the outside. The first installment in the exciting new ARKADIA trilogy. Larry Cresswell, a disillusioned twenty-something, moves back in with his parents after college, gets his young girlfriend pregnant and ends up in the Oakland barrio, drunk and on welfare. Not as much of this is his fault as he'd like to believe.
His girlfriend is a Changeling, left on Earth from the dimension of Faerie during a long and bitter war.
One day she learns this, leaves and takes their daughter to Seattle, during the WTO Protests of 1999. This disaster, it is foretold, will punch a hole between dimensions and send her home as Queen of the Sluagh goblin-folk.
Larry goes after his daughter, but to win her back he must first surrender-to himself. Only when he faces his own true origins can he hope to survive.
It's snowing in Arkadia. The King and Queen are imprisoned, and the Sluagh are on the march. Pass with Larry under the shadow of the storm, along with him for the hell-ride of his life...
This book was previously published, but has been substantially revised and re-edited for Samhain Publishing.
Warning, Sexual references, graphic language and violence.
