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.

For some reason I tried to change my profile photo & it is not working. I don't understand what is wrong. I posted a pic before & now it won't work.

Sometimes the forum software hiccups a little, and for whatever reason it takes a few tries.....

If you like, I can update your avatar for you... Just email me the pic you want to use (click the envelope under my avatar), or give me the URL it is at, and I will change it.

I'm new to this forum. Thanks for helping me figure out how to post an image! I'm the author of three pet photography books. The image below is from my first one: Old Friends. I found Kindle Boards because I just self-published my first Kindle title: Humphrey Was Here. Hoping some of the dog lovers here will check it out. Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Humphrey-Was-Here-Owners-Letting/dp/B002V1I4F4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1257891277&sr=8-1

Mark--

welcome to KindleBoards and congratulations on your books! 

We invite you to use your book cover as your avatar and have links to your book and website in your signature.  Although self-promotion is limited to the Book Bazaar, most of our authors have found the best way to promote their books is to be as active throughout KindleBoards as time allows.  This is your target audience--book lovers with Kindles!

Thanks for being part of KindleBoards!  Feel free to PM us if you have any questions.

Book Bazaar Moderators


The fine print:
Please add to your book thread when you have news about your book rather than start a new one, it helps the members who are trying to follow you.  You may have a separate thread for each of your books.  You may respond to all posts, but if there have been no member posts, we ask that you wait a week before "bumping" the thread by posting back-to-back posts of your own.  And we ask that Amazon reviews not be repeated here as they are easy to find at your book link.  Also, full reviews from other sites should not be posted here, but you may post a short blurb and a link to the full review instead. All this, and more, is included in our Forum Decorum. From time to time our site rules may change; be sure to check Forum Decorum for the current guidelines and rules. Grin

I notice that some members have gif (I assume) or other forms of animated profile pictures. I changed my profile picture by uploading a gif file but it isn't moving.

How can I get a gif (or some other format) profile picture to move?

Try linking to the picture (from your PhotoBucket account) instead of uploading it to the KB server.

Thanks pidgeon92. I didn't do any resizing on Photobucket so the profile picture (unlike either the posted picture or signature picture got "skweezed". Interesting. It's OK, I don't mind being thought of as pointy-headed as long as I'm not thought of as Dilbert's pointy-headed boss.

Congrats, cybergeezer on getting it to work!  (You might want to think about having it as your profile OR your siggy but not both.  It makes my eyes cross!  Grin

Well golly gee whiz, I have walked through your instructions at least 20 times without success.  No photos display, only links or text.  Pidgeon92 suggested I hit the all sizes button on the flickr site and that didn't work either.  I cannot figure out what in the world I am doing wrong.  I am beyond frustrated.

You should be posting a link, but it has to go between the image tags, which you get by clicking this button: The button is above the posting box, just above the smilies, third from the left.

Thanks!!!!  I sent you a PM.  This is exactly what I did, but for whatever reason Flickr was being totally uncooperative!  Photo Bucket worked.  I just have to play with it tomorrow so I can learn to adjust the size to something other than JUMBO! Cheesy

Skyblue, scroll down this page until you get to my pathetic attempt at sizing my KA mixer photo and see Pidgeon's instructions.

Intinst had told me to add "width 125" after the first IMG for a small picture but didn't mention the "=" sign. <knock on head> I should have known that. After numerous tries, which have been deleted, Pigeon rescued me. Now all I do in PhotoBucket is upload and copy the code then come here to paste, size, preview and post. So much easier than fiddling with it in PB.  This might be the most valuable tool I have to use here.
