Regular Price: $3.99Today’s Price: FREE!Click Here for Your Free Copy!Book Description:
When Wounded Warrior Captain Samantha Caldwell Is Being Targeted By Terrorists After Killing Their Leader In Iraq, Can AFOSI Agent Captain Ben Nash Keep Her Safe?
When Captain Samantha Caldwell’s team is hijacked by terrorists in Iraq, her quick thinking results in the destruction of both the munitions they were transporting along with the attacking insurgents. But her actions come with a cost, and Samantha is injured from gunfire after sending her team running for their lives.
Assigned to the team following behind, Captain Benjamin Nash has been warned that the intel provided may no longer be accurate, and their mission may have been compromised.
When Ben comes across a severely injured airman near the road while scouting ahead and discovering the wreckage, he manages to radio for a chopper. They’ve never met, but when Samantha momentarily regains consciousness, Ben feels a strange connection once they speak.
But trouble strikes during the rescue, and this time Ben ends up shot as the chopper is preparing to depart.
Two years later, in preparation to become an AFOSI agent, Ben is sent to a training facility in Crystal Rock, Wisconsin, and the last person he expects to see is Samantha, who’s working there as an instructor. Not knowing her name or rank, Ben had been making discreet inquiries about her for several months, trying to discover if the woman who’d been severely injured had survived.
It doesn’t take long for Ben to realize that Samantha is special, and he would do anything in his power to have her. But Ben is there pretending to be an airman since he’s been sent there for other reasons besides training.
Sam is feeling the same way about Ben, but she’s avoiding him as much as possible. Although she can’t quite put her finger on why she thinks Ben is more than he appears, there would be serious consequences if she entered a relationship with someone beneath her in rank.
But everything changes when Colonel Pierce meets with Sam and Ben and discloses Ben’s actual mission. Can Ben keep Sam safe from the terrorists who’ve targeted her after she apparently killed their leader during that fateful mission in Iraq?

In 1949 Daisy Hayes had a patient more or less her own age, Odile Speed, with whom she had a good rapport at once, and who told her about a strange kind of duel, interrupted for many years, from a short story by Pushkin.
Then on Christmas Eve of 1952 our blind sleuth extraordinaire stumbled on the scene of a murder just being committed. She bumped into the culprit and the victim died in her arms. The police interrogated her at once. But soon it became clear that the testimony of a blind witness was bound to be worthless in a court of law, the results of the coroner’s inquest were inconclusive at best, and it seemed that the murderer, whoever he was, would get away scot-free.
It was only in 1986, during a stay in Zermatt with her old friend Beatrice, that Daisy was confronted again with this ‘cold case’. She then experienced first-hand what it is like to fight your own version of a ‘Pushkin duel’ to the bitter end.

The Girl of Dorcha WoodAuthor: Kristin WardGenre: Young Adult
Free via Kindle Unlimited: Yes
Regular Price: $4.99
Today’s Price: $0.99
Treacherous.
Evil.
Dark.
Dorcha Wood is all of these.
And none of them.
The people of Felmore talk of Dorcha Wood in whispers, if they speak of it at all, fearing the wrath of the Cù-Sìth should their words be carried on the wind. Those murdering beasts still roam the darkness of the forest, the last remnants of the cursed Aos Sí—a race of elves long since vanished from the world.
But to seventeen-year-old Fiadh, it is home. A haven. A forest whose secrets become known only when it chooses to reveal them. Her life is one of balance until the outside world shatters it.
From the moment Fiadh set eyes on Gideon, the peaceful rhythm of her life was lost. As a new path unfolds, Fiadh confronts the reality of old hatreds, the consequences of things hidden, and the truth of who she really is.

Kristin Ward is an award-winning young adult author living in Connecticut. An educator for over twenty years, she infuses her geeky passions into stories that meld realism and fantasy. Kristin embraces her inner nerd regularly, often quoting 80s movies while expecting those around her to chime in with appropriate rejoinders. As a nature freak, she can be found wandering the woods – she may be lost, so please stop and ask if you see her – or chilling in her yard with all manner of furry and feathered friends. Often referred to as a unicorn by colleagues who remain in awe of her ability to create or find various and sundry things in mere moments, in reality, the horn was removed years ago, leaving only a mild imprint that can be seen if she tilts her head just right. A lifelong lover of books and writing, she dreamed of becoming an author for thirty years before publishing her award-winning debut in 2018.

Iris Holder has no intention of making a new life on Lilac Bay Island. She just needs a little time to work out a comeback plan and then she’ll be right back to taking over the real estate world in the big city. Getting fired and losing her home were a setback, sure, but there’s no reason to think she’ll need more than a few weeks to get herself together. After all, Lilac Bay isn’t exactly her favorite place. And the feeling is mutual—at least when it comes to her ex, David Jenkins. Getting involved with the quirky islanders is not on her agenda, no matter how many fish fries and drunken book clubs her cousin Posey drags her to. She definitely doesn’t have time to help reopen the family restaurant. And mending fences with David, her first love, is absolutely out of the question—even if that means ignoring the spark that’s growing between them. But the more time Iris spends on Lilac Bay, the harder it is to leave. She’s getting closer with David, getting closer with her family, and suddenly she’s not so sure her old life was as perfect as she always believed it to be. Maybe she’s actually looking for something new, for something more. Maybe she’s looking for love. And maybe that love is right in front of her.

Transferring Books to Your Kindle
It’s been several years since I last updated this tip and I think it is past time for an update as a few things have changed, but I will also give you a small hint: I’m going to be pointing you to a lot of places other than Amazon for free books in upcoming posts (in other words, get excited!).
There are many places to receive free Kindle books other than the Amazon website – and a couple of you are probably scratching your heads saying, “that’s nice, but how in the world do I get these books to my Kindle?”
Well, here is your quick instruction guide; yes, you may have seen this before, but there are quite a few folks who are new to the blog, just opened up a new Kindle, or acquired a gently used or certified refurbished used Kindle from upgraders.
Transferring Books to Your Kindle
If the only way you have added content to your Kindle is via the Amazon website, and assuming you may have missed the section in the Kindle User Guide of other methods to add content to your Kindle, you may not know how to put content (think books) on your Kindle.
Transferring books to your Kindle is a fairly simple process, and you will be a professional at it once you’ve done it one time. In this section, we will briefly review five ways to put material on your Kindle; this is certainly not meant to be an all-encompassing “how-to” and for further or more-detailed instructions, please consult your Kindle User Guide. There are probably many more ways to transfer books to your Kindle, but the five methods that work best for me are:
Purchase / download it from the Kindle store section of the Amazon website. I am going to assume you know how to download books from the Kindle store;Use the free “Send to Kindle” plug-in;Transfer the material from a computer to your Kindle using a micro-USB cord;Email it to your Kindle with your unique @com email address;
Use the Free “Send to Kindle” Plug-In
Using the free “Send to Kindle” plug-in from Amazon has to be the easiest way to transfer eBooks, mp3 music files, other documents, and videos to your Kindle (please note at this time only a Kindle Fire can play music files and videos). You simply install a small program on your computer, and when you have a file you want to transfer to your Kindle it is as simple as making three clicks of your mouse in order to deliver the appropriate file to your Kindle.
Please note you need to have the file already on your computer in order to use the Send to Kindle feature.
Due to the numerous types of web browsers, computer operating systems, etc., I am not able to list out each set of instructions for each type of web browser, etc. (that would be a book unto itself!). However, you can click here or type in http://smarturl.it/sendtokindle into your web browser to go to the appropriate page on the Amazon website to install this free plug-in; this is pretty easy and straight-forward, and should take you all of 30 seconds to install it.
Transfer Using a USB Cord
Fire Tablet (aka “Kindle Fire”) Instructions
To transfer content with the USB cord, here are the simple steps in order:
Turn on and boot up your computer if it is not already turned on.Turn on your Kindle Fire.Grab your micro-USB cord (that’s what you use to charge it).Plug the large end of the USB cord into an open USB slot on your computer; if you are not certain where the USB slot is on your computer, please consult the instruction manual for your computer.Plug the small end (that’s the micro part) of the USB cord into the open micro-USB slot of your Kindle Fire.Slide the Arrow from left to right to unlock your Kindle Fire.Open the Kindle Fire drive on your computer. If you are using a MAC, you will use a program called OS Finder; if you are using a Windows-based computer, you will click on “My Computer” or “Windows Explorer.” The following instructions assume you are using a Windows-based computer, but for those of you with a MAC the process is similar. The Kindle Fire drive will appear as a separate external storage device or volume on your computer’s desktop.Copy and paste, or drag and drop, the books on to the appropriate folder on your Kindle Fire. You can use the same process described above to transfer material, for example, to your Music or Pictures folders on the Kindle Fire.When you are finished transferring files to your Kindle Fire, you will need to (a) press the Disconnect button at the bottom of the Kindle Fire screen and remove it from your computer, and (b) remove the micro-USB cable.All Other Kindle Instructions
To me, this method is pretty easy – plus, it doesn’t cost a cent to manage your content with the USB cord provided with your Kindle – but it is not as easy as using the Send to Kindle Feature. If you are familiar with moving things around with a digital camera, an iPod / MP3 player, or a thumb memory drive you will find you are already familiar with transferring content with the USB cord. If you are reading this and don’t know what the USB cord is, it is a separate cord for the Kindle 1 (if anyone still uses one of those) and it is the cord you use to recharge the Kindle’s internal battery for all other Kindle editions (see #3 below).
To transfer content with the USB cord, here are the simple steps in order:
Turn on and boot up your computer if it is not already on.Turn on your Kindle.Plug the large end of the USB cord that came with your Kindle into an open USB slot on your computer; if you are looking at the USB cord and just see something that plugs into an electrical socket (all versions of the Kindle except for the Kindle 1), the portion that looks like the end to be plugged into an electrical socket can be pulled apart to reveal the USB portion. If you are not certain where the USB slot is on your computer, please consult the instruction manual for your computer.Plug the small end of the USB cord that came with your Kindle into the open micro-USB slot on your Kindle.If you followed the steps above in order, take a look at your Kindle’s screen – it should be indicating the Kindle is in USB mode. On my Kindle, the screen tells me I am unable to read or connect to the Internet, and the specific message is:
“If you want to use your Kindle and continue charging, please eject your Kindle from the computer.”
That’s exactly what we want it to say – you are going to be making additions, etc. to your Kindle from your computer screen and not from the Kindle.
Now, turn your attention to your computer. If you are using a Mac, you will use a program called OS Finder; if you are using a Windows-based computer, you will click on “My Computer” or “File Explorer.” The following instructions assume you are using a Windows-based computer, but for those of you with a Mac the process is very similar.
Clicking on “My Computer,” you will see your hard drives and other locations as well as your Kindle; if your computer automatically opened up the Kindle folder after recognizing it after plugging in the Kindle to your computer via the USB cord, that’s okay and you can work from there, too.
Books and other written manuscripts are contained in the “Documents” folder of your Kindle. This is the location you will drag and drop, copy / cut and paste (or whatever process you are comfortable with) the documents you have downloaded from the specific areas we will review in this book. After you have transferred or moved the content to your Kindle, you can disconnect your Kindle from your computer and start reading away at your leisure. The books you have transferred to your Kindle should show up as “new” on your Kindle’s home page.
One important safety note to protect your Kindle: I would not recommend just pulling the USB cord out of your computer or your Kindle without having your computer “safely eject hardware” before disconnecting. If you are not certain how to do this, please consult the instruction manual for your computer.
If you followed those steps – congratulations! You are well on your way to reading the books and other content you have downloaded. Go check out the home page of your Kindle (click the “Home” button) and you should see “New” listed next to each item you just transferred.
Email to Your Unique Kindle.com Email Address
You may already know, or maybe you don’t, each registered Kindle owner has their own unique yourname@kindle.com email address, where you and others you grant permission to beforehand can email material directly to your Kindle. This could come in handy for sending Word documents, etc., from work for the “gotta read it” on the plane or hotel room, but you can also use it as a method to transfer books to your Kindle. One word of caution, however: unless you are using the WiFi application vs. the 3G cellular, Amazon will charge the Kindle account holder for each document emailed; I am not putting the price in here as it has changed a few times over the years (and who wants to be wrong?). While these charges may not seem like much they can add up over time.
If you do not know your unique @kindle.com email address, it is easy to find out: log into your Amazon.com account and click on the “Content and Devices” link located just underneath the “Accounts & List” section at the top. Underneath the ” Devices” section, you will see a section to click that will list out each Kindle registered to your account. Click on your Kindle device and a new window will open giving you details about the device as well as the unique @kindle.com email address to send material to each particular Kindle. If you do not like the email address assigned to you, experiment with it and find one you do like – the Amazon server will let you know if that unique @kindle.com email address is available to use.
I hope that helps!
Michael

About the Author:Superficially, I am 32, I love horror video games, superhero movies, anime, reading, writing, listening to others talk. I have an unhealthy obsession with breakfast foods (like Ron Swanson on Parks and Rec), and I’m either in three modes of thinking at all times: daydreaming, planning, or creating. I’m trying to be the best author I can be because this is a dream come true, and I want to write for the rest of my life. I’m hoping that Witchfall, a culmination of everything I have learned so far, will be my first true bestseller. Optimistically, I think it will. Realistically, we’ll see.
