Not terribly clever or interesting, but there ya go.
Author Persia Walker is giving away the ebook of her new release, which is set against the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s.
Darkness and the Devil Behind Me is, according to the author’s site, a story about a disappearance, an unsolved crime, and things that some folks would prefer to keep secret:
The devil claimed Esther Todd. Or so they say. In December 1923, she was a lovely young pianist, a rising star. By January of ‘24, she was on the most wanted list. She’d vanished along the snowy streets of a storm-swept night in Harlem and thieves had hit the home of her society patron, pulling off a million-dollar heist. Were the disappearance and robbery coincidence or conspiracy? Somebody knew, but nobody was talking. Three years later, the puzzles remained unsolved.
Roxanne St. Claire and her publisher, Pocket Books, are giving away a free novella, the very first in the series to feature a female Bulletcatcher.
Originally part of the holiday anthology I’ll Be Home for Christmas, the story is now online for free download as one big honking PDF that is free, cheezy bread, free. According to the author, it stands alone, doesn’t require any familiarity with the series in order to read it, and is a great opportunity to sample the Bulletcatcher series.
My Kindle says, “Nom nom nom. Delicioso!”
Breaking news from GalleyCat: iPhone app Stanza has partnered with Fictionwise to create one hellabig ebook access point for all the iPhone ebook fans out there:
The deal brings 40,000 new titles to the Stanza e-reader for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
The “Stanza by Fictionwise” store will be accessible through the Stanza app on the iPhone and iPodTouch, creating an entirely new need for me to download Stanza and give it a test drive. Until now I’ve been happy with BookShelf, but this is a whole new ballgame of options.
Kudos to Fictionwise and Stanza-creator Lexcycle for pulling that off.
Here’s a twist on the free/cheap ebook trend.
LBF Books is giving away the first 25 copies of the ebook of LeeAnn Burke’s Deadly Secrets today. Proceeds of the print book order will be donated to the American Breast Cancer Foundation.
What totally tickles me about this book is the name of the heroine: Roxanne St-Clair. Whoa! Seems that Burke wrote the first draft of this book over 10 years ago, long before she knew of the Other Roxanne St. Clair. Seems the Other Roxanne is down with the name thing.
Mad props to Burke and to LBF for donating proceeds to the ABCF.
The Sam Hain (not to be confused with Sam Adams, or Sam Bucca) Free Kindle book of the week has been announced: Bianca D’Arc’s MaidenFlight.
Dragon menage? No way? Yes way. Three way!
