Your welcome!

Here's another free book that looks like it might be good

Surviving The Fog by Stan Morris

http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/712

Have you ever been to camp? What would you do if the adults left “for a few hours” and they had not returned a week later? What if your parents never showed up to take you home? What would you do if you realized that the area below was surrounded by a mysterious brown fog that was dangerous? How would you survive the winter? What would you eat? Warning-sexual situations, cursing, violence

You beat me to it. This one also caught my eye.

I just ran across this free book called King of Glory. I don't know anything about it. I just had it sent to my Kindle though and will be checking it out later.

Is it not still free with the coupon code?

Well, it's always tempting to get something free, but then I might be tempted to actually cook....

I love to read cooking magazines, Cooks Illustrated is one of my favorites. I used to watch cooking shows with great interest ... but I don't really cook either. MDH, however, is a fantastic cook so I try to help by finding new recipes, doing the grocery shopping and (ugh) the dishes/cleanup. CI is great because it includes so much besides recipes ... excellent product reviews (I used them to buy the absolutely best pepper grinder and lots of other tools as gifts for my personal chef), testing cooking theories (how to keep guacamole from oxidizing), and history/background about well-known dishes. I'm looking forward to getting this book!

[Glynnis]

I thought this was an interesting piece of news (from O's website) to help gauge the impact that a free-download promotion had for Suze Orman -

"Suze's previous book, the New York Times best-seller Women & Money, was offered as a free eBook download on Oprah.com for 33 hours in February 2008. More than 1.1 million people downloaded the book, and it subsequently returned to the top of best-seller lists."

[Lizzy]

Is it not still free with the coupon code?

Its free for the month of February as long as you get it from Smashwords, not Amazon.

Glad to have you here with us! I'm looking forward to reading Dourado (will probably get to it this weekend) as it sounds right up my alley. Thanks also for the link to your blog, I see there that you have another book out or coming out soon, with the same lead character and possibly supporting characters from Dourado -- good to see it'll apparently be a continuing type of series. I love those.   Be sure and let us know when Cibola comes out!

I'm interested in it,and I don't have my Kindle, till next week. Thanks for posting about it. Sounds interesting and fresh. --Rhonda

I saw a link to my new e-Book on my site so I figured I would chime in and thank Leslie for the post.  I hope this is not considered a breach in etiquette as well since this is kind of the norm for authors within the podcasting community.  This is the first e-Book in a trilogy that I am writing so I am eager to get feedback from readers on this first novel.  Moreover, I would like to make sure that the formatting is working for the Kindle so please feel free to send me your comments.

Cheers

Flores Girl: The Children God Forgot
By Erik John Bertel
Link:  http://www.floresgirl.com/flores-girl-ebook-order.htm
Genre:  Adventure, Science Fiction, Romance   

Novel Description:
The two scientists, Sarah and Richard discover the existence of a living human ancestor, Homo floresiensis on an isolated tropical island. These small hobbit-like creatures are not the hobbits of JRR Tolkien's stories but a small tribe of prehistoric people called the Ebu Gogo living in seeming isolation for nearly a half million years on the Indonesian island of Irmã Flores. In their unrelenting quest for knowledge, Sarah and Richard unintentionally expose these innocents to the onslaught of the modern world including corporate raiders, Indonesian pirates (sorry, no Johnny Depp types!) and religious zealots. Moreover, while struggling with the magnitude of their find, Sarah and Richard are forced to reconcile their own, very different personalities. In the process of discovery and befriending these ancient people, Sarah and Richard rediscover their own humanity and the opportunity to find true love.
The novel begins with Sarah finding herself clinging for life aboard a small boat that is being tossed about by a tempest in the Flores Sea.  Sarah is an attractive young lady and a leading authority on the study of the great apes but she is questioning her own sanity for having taken this journey. This is one of many trips Sarah has made to assist her mentor but this trip takes wrong turn when the boat's engine dies and forcing her and her guides to seek shelter on a small, uncharted island in the Flores Sea.

As the guides repair the motor of their stranded boat, Sarah wanders off from the beach, heading to the woods to observe the local bird population. While she is sitting in the woods she suddenly feels as if she is being watched. Sarah is not easily scared, since she has spent many days alone in the wild while observing her beloved chimps and gorillas. But this experience is entirely different to her and she begins to feels a strange presence closing in about her. Then she actually hears the presence! Strange human-like voices, much like the mumbling's of the damned, begin to fill her ears coming from all directions. Sarah is terrified and paralyzed with fear as they begin to surround her. In the distance Sarah can hear the guides frantically searching for her but it is too late for rescue...

Warning! The novel contains contemporary language, numerous naked Ebu Gogo, some sexuality, depictions of drug use and humor that some might find to be objectionable. In other words, this is an raw adult theme book with ample violence, cussing and some overall acts of horniness. After all, this is a story about human evolution and human behavior and it is not a recommended book for children. Also keep in mind, this book has a complete disdain for almost all authority figures so consider yourself forewarned.

I haven't sorted through the whole thread just yet but I just found this at Amazon......

The Cook's Illustrated How-to-Cook Library:  An illustrated step-by-step guide to Foolproof Cooking.    $0.00 for a Pre-order to be delivered February 24.  There is also note made that the download is likely to exceed 60 seconds due to the size, etc.

I tried to link but it couldn't be found and don't have time to try and figure out why because it's time to shut my computer down and go to work.  Gotta make more $$ for books!

Here is the description:

I added it for you Lizzarddance, sounds good. There is a tutorial on using the link maker. It took me a long time to get the hang of it.

This sounds great. I just 1-clicked. Can't beat the price either.

Thanks Linda! Maybe my problem is that I'm thinking when I hit preview I expect to see the image then and I don't.
