KB Book of the Day
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.

Use the text link in the post prior to Meemo's, for some reason the freebie isn't showing up in the link-maker search but there are two separate listings at Amazon, one for the freebie and one for the $9.99 version.

Wow, you're right. It no longer works. But I guarantee you it did before. They must've pulled it. Maybe the freebie was an Amazon error?

Yeah, I got it free as well but now it's gone.  Must have been a mistake that they have now corrected.  Thanks frojazz for posting that.  Glad I got it while I could!

 Tongue Sorry to those who missed it--haven't read it yet, so I don't know if it will be worth $9.99!

But I'm glad that some of you were able to catch it... Smiley

Oh Yes, I love mistakes like that!! Amazon has made many mistakes in the past in posting prices on expensive things like Microsoft Windows. And the people that order it for cheap, Amazon eats crow on it too!! It's pretty cool that they take a hit for the customer.

Hello Everyone,
I just joined and I would like to offer both of my mystery/thrillers to the Kindle community FREE! Dark End of the Spectrum and Absence of Faith.

Dark End of the Spectrum - normally $2.99, FREE for a limited time at http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/625.
Be sure to use the coupon code JJ86F when checking out. Here is the description:

DARK END OF SPECTRUM will make you think twice before turning on your cell phone or PDA!

DARK END OF THE SPECTRUM is a frighteningly plausible, headline ripping tale of the real threats that loom in cyberspace based on the author's years of research.

DARK END OF THE SPECTRUM is a thriller that will connect with everyone with a cell phone, PDA or wireless device.

When digital terrorists known as ICER take over the US power grid and the cell phone network, they give the government an ultimatum - bomb the borders of Afghanistan and Pakistan with nuclear weapons to put an end to Al-Quada. When the government refuses,the group destroys most of the downed aircraft in several major airports.

When ICER sends a pulse that will kill people on the East Coast, only security expert Dan Riker can stop them, but ICER has kidnapped his family.

Will Dan save his family or will millions die?


Absence of Faith - FREE to download at http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/526 and available in print at $15.99 at http://www.lulu.com/content/368044

In this medical mystery thriller, Doctor Carson Hyll falls asleep and drives into a river and experiences one of the worst nightmares of his life. The young intern is knocked unconscious and has a negative near death experience so real, so frightening that he thinks he died and went to hell.

When others in the highly-religious small town of Ocean Village have similar negative near death experiences and wake up with burnt skin, they believe they went to hell and that God has abandoned them.

Matters get worse when a local Satanic cult emerges to promote their beliefs and win over the town residents.
Will the heroine, Chantress, be able to stop cult leader Kyle Mabus or will he succeed in destroying all known religions in the world?

Bestselling author and psychic Sylvia Browne writes in her book, Prophecy, that, "...our beliefs are the driving force behind our behavior, our opinions, our actions. Without faith, without our beliefs, we're lost."

I hope you find them interesting!

Fantastic Anthony, I look forward to reading both--they're right up my alley!  Could you tell us how many pages each one is in print?  I don't see it listed, and I try to keep track of my total reading since getting Kindle in the "traditional" manner.

Sigh!  I love free books. . . . wonder if I'll ever get to read them all!  Smiley

Note:  on the two from smashwords above. . .the one is free with the code.  For the other, the sample is free -- listed as 50% of the book.  Your you can 'buy' the whole book for 'name your price'. . .they suggest 37 cents, but you can choose to pay 0.  Since the authors are trying to make money, I figure to get the sample and then pay something if I decided I like it and want the whole book. . .
