Shot of Tequila, by J.A. Konrath. (Still free?)From the popular Jack Daniels, this novel takes place before female crime-fighter makes lieutenant... and focuses on a mobster called Tequila. Hard-boiled mystery at its best! 40 five star reviews, and free today.
"From the first page, this book is like stepping into a fun house. It's a fast, wild ride that rarely slows down. I found myself connecting with and rooting for Tequila the entire time. The violence is like a Tarentino movie, over the top and there are some disturbing images, so be warned. I enjoyed the read and the ride and would recommend it if you like exciting action thrill rides." -- Amazon reviewer
A GUTSY ROBBERY
Several million bucks, stolen from the mob...
A PERFECT FRAME

SHOT OF TEQUILA by JA Konrath
This ebook also features an exclusive sneak-peak--three full chapters--of INSIDE OUT, the latest thriller by NYT bestselling author Barry Eisler.
Book Description:
Shot of Tequila takes place in the early 1990s, and is both an homage to and a re-envisioning of classic action novels by authors like Mickey Spillane, Ross MacDonald, Donald Westlake, and Elmore Leonard, but with a more modern twist.
The breakneck action is intercut with scenes featuring Konrath's series hero Jack Daniels, here as a supporting character chasing the main protagonist.
Edge-of-your-seat suspense, non-stop action, and dark humor punctuate this heist novel/fugitive-on-the-run thriller. Fans of Konrath's police procedurals will enjoy the slight departure from his normal writing style, while still finding familiarity with the setting and characters.
SHOT OF TEQUILA is approximately 75,000 words, and is specially formatted for Kindle with an active table of contents.

Red Adept Reviews Indie Award for Thrillers/Suspense 2011
San Francisco Homicide detective John Richetti spent part of his childhood living inside an infamous cult known as the People's Temple. As a boy he'd lost his parents to cult-instigated mass suicide. The memories come flooding back when he investigates the bizarre suicide of a former member of Earthbound, a New Age cult--and suspects murder instead. To uncover the truth he infiltrates the group, along with police psychologist Marilyn Michaelsen.
The new recruits find themselves pushed to their physical and mental limits by a series of sophisticated brainwashing techniques as well as by a cult leader, known only as The Wizard, who appears to possess psychic and paranormal powers. Even the psychologist's expert knowledge of cults can't explain The Wizard's feats, and it isn't long before John, like his parents before him, surrenders his independence to another . . .

Atticus for the Undead (Legal Fiction Series), by John Abramowitz. (Still $0.99?)Young attorney Hunter Gamble's next client is... a zombie. This supernatural legal thriller is bargain-priced today at 99 cents!
"This book was a treat! It is well written, the characters are interesting, intelligent, funny, and endearing in their own ways. My initial reaction, to just the first chapter, was, "hmmm, this is interesting!" From there, it only got better. This is not your typical supernatural story. It is an intelligent take on what would happen if the "real world" were suddenly made aware of the "supernatural world" living among us... or perhaps I should say "Arcane world," and the legal implications that could arise." -- Amazon reviewer

Hunter Gamble is an idealistic young attorney in a very special area of the practice: arcane defense. Funded by enigmatic billionaire Charles McClain and aided by shy-but-energetic research attorney Kirsten Harper, he's making the world a better place--one vampire, zombie, or werewolf client at a time. After all, they deserve their day in court too, right?
When a young zombie walks into Hunter's office accused of murder (by brain-eating), Hunter's idealism is tested as never before as he struggles to secure the man's freedom. To do so, he must square off against a savvy and ambitious district attorney, contend with a judge who is deeply biased against arcanes, and stand up to a human-supremacist group which will stop at nothing--not even Hunter's own death--to see his client convicted.

Housekeeping for the Soul, by Sandra Carrington-Smith. (Still free?)All five-star reviews for this eloquent, inspirational book. Free today.
"Housekeeping for the Soul carries its lovely, practical message with a lilting voice and eclectic viewpoint. The author helps us clear out some spiritual cobwebs and make our next 'spring cleaning' apply not to our homes but to the deepest part of ourselves." -- Victoria Moran, author of international bestseller Creating a Charmed Life
The first book to combine how-to, self-help and spiritual genres to address the needs of millions of readers as they strive to detach from the Culture of Chaos and embrace a life of balance. It is through this inner harmony and balance that one may then create a meaningful, authentic reality. With a down-to-earth approach, the reader is guided through the process of emotional healing and renewal of spirit through the familiar analogy of housekeeping: cleaning, organizing, and "airing out" our lives, room by room, task by task.

Barely Alive (a zombie romance) (Barely Alive Series), by Bonnie R. Paulson. (Still $0.99?)Bonnie Paulson takes a unique spin through the zombie world with this unique YA horror. Bargain-priced at 99 cents today!
"Based on the blurb, I anticipated a somewhat run-of-the-mill zombie tale with a splash of romance. What I didn't see coming was the humor in which it would be told. Paulson masterfully spins this web with voice of a teenage boy who can't decide what he wants more, food or sex. You so easily fall into his head and thought process. Or, lack there of, as the case so often is with Paul." -- Amazon reviewer
This is the first book of a completed trilogy (with a short for fun!)
***This is a MATURE YA themed series. There are adult themes and strong language.***
In twelve weeks, seventeen-year-old Paul Ledger will be dead. At least he hopes so.
Paul is trapped in the worst cult the United States has ever seen. Infected with a zombie virus, symptoms culminate in a dead body but thriving mind over a course of twelve weeks. If he doesn’t earn the final death he longs for, he’ll be chained in a basement facility, moaning for human flesh for eternity.
Sent out to kidnap girls for food, toys, or whatever the boss wants, Paul nabs Heather McCain. He’s not a fan of humans as a general rule, but even his graying skin and insatiable hunger for her flesh don’t stop her from reaching out to him. Give him the second chance he doesn’t know he needs.
Overcome by his cravings, Paul bites her delectable skin. Amazingly, she doesn’t develop the zombie-like side effects. When the boss discovers Heather’s immunity, he gives Paul an ultimatum – deliver up Heather and her family to continue the research or watch as Paul’s brother suffers the zombie fate.
Paul has a chance to endure his short zombie existence knowing his brother is safe. But he’ll have to sacrifice Heather to do it.

"Targeted at younger readers, enjoyed by this older one! With all the sci-fi books for younger readers coming out, The Chosen of Gaia stands out as it combines the fantastical, the human, the suspenseful and the comedic so naturally. The depiction of a plausible but still flawed utopian world turned out to be a great setting for a coming of age story. The author's wit and warmth shine through the dialog and descriptions, and it's refreshing to take in the wording and style of the author." -- Amazon reviewer
