Hi, I just noticed that Nora Roberts' The Quinn Brothers book is currently listed for $3.86. This book is a compilation of the first 2 books in the Quinn Brothers series (Sea Swept & Rising Tides). I bought it a few months ago at $9.99 so I can't take advantage of the sale, but it's a great series. I've tried to link to the book, but not sure if it worked. The Quinn Brothers |

Great well let me explain a bit about my book in case it interests anyone. Mighty Hammer Down is high fantasy with an ancient Roman feel, and some political undertones. If you like Terry Goodkind, I think you will like this book. It is only $1.59 on amazon.com. I will be doing an author-led Book Klub on kindleboards.com probably in October.  Synopsis:
A longstanding peace is about to be shattered by villains in the shadows of Medora. They conspire with distant nations to cripple the western Empire and spread their venom eastward. In their secretive attempt, they stumble across the power to slay Arius, the god of war, and replace him with a human puppet. That mission fails however, and they not only pave the path for the seven gods to walk the earth, but create a god of war who is bent on their destruction. He clumsily learns to use his powers and hones them into a powerful weapon to wield against the Mages and their twisted vision of society. In the chaos, a great war begins and threatens all nations and cultures.
Rommus has no idea that he has become the new god of war. He also has no idea that his companion Alana is responsible for the assassination attempt on his father, the General of the Medoran army. While the Medoran Legions head east to aid the Vindyri in their battle against the oppressive Bhoors, Rommus follows the visions he sees in his dreams, pulling him north towards the Land of the Gods. Along the way they meet a strange man named Vohl who claims to be immortal, and the three of them end up before the golden throne of the great god Oderion. But Rommus refuses to be like the uncaring gods, and quickly makes six very powerful enemies.
In all of this mayhem, the small flames of the old magic roar to mighty infernos; burning some and lighting the way for others. Great beasts now walk the earth again, and the gods themselves have come down to influence the world of man once more. But the new god of war is not interested in their agenda, and instead joins the battle on the Vindyri planes. He fights with all his might for the freedom of mankind, struggling to bring light to the coming darkness.Why only $1.59? Because I don't care about making money, I care about telling the story and spreading a message. In fact, I give FREE ebook copies out all the time. Signed paperbacks occasionally too. Email me at d@davidjguyton.com. I am not sure how much you can read in the Kindle preview, but if you want to read a large portion of the book right now, for FREE, you can read it here: http://books.google.com/books?id=Q3JMoVIogYkC&printsec=frontcover&dq=mighty+hammer+downPaperback is available on Amazon too. David J. Guyton EDIT:
There's a bunch of FREE stuff I am giving out with every Kindle and paperback purchase too. See the list in my signature below! |

I just watched the movie version of this and looked it up to find a Kindle version for just $1.04  It is a memoir of author Marjorie Kennan Rawlings, who also wrote The Yearling, concentrating on her early years, as a struggling writer, living on her own, in a small South Florida town. |

Well, if it's okay for David, I suppose I can plug my books on this thread too: I’ll happily provide a free copy of each book to anyone willing to post a review on Amazon, Mobipocket and/or Target. |

Gone for a Soldier is one of my several ongoing current reads. It is a very good and engaging story. Highly recommended.

Here is the link for The Way of Shadows I'm currently 1/3 into the second book, which I picked up immediately after finishing the first. Great read, and so far, the second is even better than the first b/c less world-builiding is necessary. I don't read much Sci Fi and Fantasy, but have enjoyed this series very much so far. N  |

N I'm getting ready to buy the next 2 in the series as soon as I get a gift card. These are books I never would have bought if they hadn't did the 1.00 special on the first one. Melissa |

I picked up Gone for a Soldier and The Way of the Shadows last month and just downloaded The Quinn Brothers and Mighty Hammer Down.
Thanks for the referrals.
Now to find time to read!
I just watched a charming movie bio about Beatrix Potter on HBO (with Renee Zelwigger) and am off to see if she ever wrote a memoir.
ETA: Nothing on Kindle and most of the bios are illustrated. One is $72!

Not only is Cross Creek free on feedbooks, The Yearling is as well - I've got them both downloaded for "one of these days".... |

Well, if it's okay for David, I suppose I can plug my books on this thread too:
Well being a bit of a fanatic, I usually read my books in the order I receive them. I still have 4 books ahead of yours but I may just bend my rules and move Gone for a Soldier up to next in line as I am getting very curious  |
