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.

Well, I've officially crossed 3,000 sales for all of my books on Amazon. Time to crank up the awesome, throw on one of Ronnell's badges, and buy myself some super-deluxe ice cream.

WOooowooooo! Thanks to everyone who's helped out in reaching that little goal. Time to star the countdown to 4k  Grin

That's pretty impressive. More than a little nifty, I'd say.

Well done!

John had a simply CLASSIC line yesterday, but it's too rude to repeat on KB; I might have to PM it to you.  Smiley

That's huge.  That's a lot of hours of entertainment you've given the world.  Just imagine all those people reading your book in bed, or on the train, or by the pool, or on the toilet...no, wait, don't imagine that last one.  Crap, it's too late.

Seriously, congratulations.

Now please take all your books off Amazon so I can catch up to you.

I'm trying to decide if this was intentional or not. Either way, it cracked me up.

And sorry man, books are staying on Amazon. Heck, I plan on writing more! What craziness is that??

It wasn't intentional, but I noticed it before I posted and decided to let it float.

See, I did it again.
