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.

I cannot wait it is almost time for the Kindle DX to ship Grin. I have my final in my class this week. I take classes on line. So I am able to work on it a little at a time. I am trying to finish the final so I can play with my Kindle DX all weekend. Grin

I know, I am getting really excited, too. I wonder if it will ship a day early like the K2's did? I can hope...

I with ya, sister. I have to trudge through this week, and expect my delivery on Thursday. Usually, UPS comes in the early evening, but the last time I ordered a package, I got it early noon. I was so shocked. I'm hoping this is the case.

Well I got distracted today with the iphone 3G S announcement and the exciting info that we are getting the OS3 update in only 10 days. I think the next few days will go by fast enough. I have some distractions LOL

No shipping notice, no change in status. Still due to arrive on June 11th. It is not showing up on my list of Kindles, either.

No ship notice yet. The last time with K2  I did not get the ship notice till 5 hours after my K2 had shipped. They may not send them out early this time.

Anne, I remember that with my k2 as well. But it went order in progress, (or whatever it says) meaning they are processing it so you can't cancel 4-5 days before it shipped.  I canceled my DX because I really want it for the NY times, so I am waiting to see if they make a decision.  If they don't do the deal with NY times, I may still get it, because I think it should be able to format poetry better with the ability to change # of words per line and pdf. But I'll read reviews. Good luck all.

Red that is true I can still cancel if I wanted too. Of course I do not want to cancel. I am getting excited. Thursday is almost here. When they ship them out tomorrow I will be happy.

 Cheesy Anne, I wasn't attempting to encourage you to cancel.  I was just wondering if they are showing preparing to ship, or whatever, as early with the DX as they did with the k2.  I don't know why I find it so interesting, since I've put mine on hold, I'm an enabler  Wink

Just checked, and status is the same -- not yet shipped.  Looks like they're sticking with the announced delivery date.  For me, it's Thursday.

Red: I know you were not attempting to get me to cancel. I only meant that if they were starting to ship I would not be able to cancel. I am so excited that it is almost time for the DX to ship.

I was really hoping that Amazon would repeat the early shipping on the DX that they did with the K2.  As of this post, my credit card has not been charged so although I remain hopeful (the day's not over), I'm not expecting to get my DX tomorrow.  Anyone have anything different to report?

I was hoping that they would ship the DX early too. So far there has been no change and nothing charge yet. There is still time the day is not over yet.

Also checking my order status.  Maybe something will show up there (the order can't be changed notice) before on my credit card.
