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.

Mah Jongg teacher to the stars!

I really, really wanted to do the Kindle screensaver hack. I really, really tried and I really, really failed. So I wrote to Heather (luvmy4brats). She is sooooo amazing. She wrote me back and then took my call(s). I now have my favorite screensaver. A HUGE shoutout to luvmy4brats - they are lucky brats for sure. I teach Mah Jongg so I took the front page of a 1924 Life Magazine. It is Pa and Mah Jongg. I also created a tego with Mah Jongg tiles. Here are the pics. This is all housed in the red M-edge leather cover with e-luminator. I am so tricked out. The tego is on the way. I will figure out how to get the pictures in this post, I just know I will!!!

Great skin Dianne, can't wait to see the combo!

You're very close on getting the image to show in your post--you're just missing one tag at the front.  It should have an [IMG] tag before the link you have listed--then you'll be all set!

rikkileigh,  you will find as you spend more time here that this is the friendliest community around. I don't think it is unusual for our moderators, or more experienced members to go way out of their way for us less technology advanced, etc... You are right in the fact that every one of these extremely nice, informative, helpfull, etc.. people do not get thanked enough.  So, thank you for the reminder. THANK YOU KINDLE BOARDS FOR EVERY THING YOU DO!!!

Sorry, I haven't been on for a while - 2 teens in the house and I still have a hair left on my head. I couldn't figure out how to post my screen saver so I used it for my icon!!! I use just the one screensaver, it is Pa and Ma Jongg, the April 21, 1921 cover of Life Magazine. Just look under my name on the left. Since I teach Mah Jongg, live eat and breathe Mah Jongg, my friends are not surprised.

rik, you have to have any pictures other than your avatar hosted somewhere on the internet.  Many folks here have flikr or photobucket accounts so they can post them to KB. . .look in the Photo Board for info on how to do it.
