Savannah SaviorAuthor: E.H. VickGenre: Thriller
Regular Price: $3.99
Today’s Price: FREE!
HE HUNTS WOMEN. SHE HUNTS HIM.
FBI Agent Meredeth Connelly tracks The Savannah Strangler by day. At night, she mimics his prey. She has little to go on. He’s crafty and smart – he dumps bodies in the Savannah River after stoning his victims to death. But he won’t escape. She won’t let him. She will do anything to make Savannah safe again. She will do anything to stop him.
The dead pile up. Pressure, a hellish headache, desperate secrets. Heat, stiletto heels, fear. She won’t let anything stop her.
Not the detective who thinks she’s a drunk.
Not the good old boys club.
Not the mystery man cyberstalking her.
She will get the killer. One way or another.
Her pounding head is going to kill her – unless he gets to her first…

Sometimes life doesn’t go according to plan.
My summer was planned from packing lists to trip itineraries. Or so I’d thought.
It’s the night before my trip abroad, and my boyfriend Matt showed up at a party with another girl. The boyfriend I’m supposed to spend seven weeks with in Brazil.
No way can I board that plane.
With my trip tickets ripped up and the money down the drain, I owe my parents big-time. The only job hiring is Teed Off!, the driving range that just-so-happens to employ Matt’s trio of best friends.
Matt’s friends don’t like my presence on their artificial turf, so pranking me becomes their second part-time job. They definitely don’t want me winning the bonus money our boss is offering for an idea to improve the business.
By chance on a summer night, Matt’s head crony best friend Aidan is there for me when no one else is around. Turns out, he and Matt haven’t been close for a while. Aidan begins to see through to the real me—the me I’d kept from Matt to be the person I’ve always longed to be—popular with a boyfriend, all according to plan.
Now I have a new problem. I’m falling for the enemy.

A Quick Reminder About Freebies
Here’s a quick reminder – if I or anyone else tells you about a book being offered for free or discounted on the Amazon Kindle website and you are interested, please jump on it immediately. Don’t wait a few days or even a couple of hours, or you may see the book being offered for sale vs. what you thought was free! I’ve seen it happen many times over the years.
Why does that happen? Sometimes there is a glitch to the Amazon system, an author may have forgot to set the book’s promotion on the Amazon website, or who knows?
Bottom line here is don’t wait – log on to the website frequently (www.fkbt.com) or check your email shortly after 8:00 a.m. Central time for the daily digest if you are subscribed to the free daily email. Grab them now as once the book is yours, no matter if you paid nothing or $9.99 for a book, it is yours forever!
I should say something similar about books discounted to 99 cents: the author, for example, has told me their book(s) will be discounted for a particular day and I set the posts up in advance. The same issue that can cause titles to not be free can also apply to the discounting for a particular day. Please make sure you verify the pricing on the Amazon website before you click the “buy” button.
Hope that helps!
Michael

The Lou Fleener Box SetAuthor: Duane LindsayGenre: Cozy Mystery
Free via Kindle Unlimited: Yes
Regular Price: $8.99Today’s Price: FREE!Click Here for Your Free Copy!Book Description:
NOT YOUR AVERAGE 1950s CHICAGO P.I.
P.I. Lou Fleener’s got a great disguise—he’s kind of short, slightly pudgy, and a little nondescript. But whatever you do, don’t get in a fight with him, even if you’ve brought a couple of buddies. Because you’re gonna lose every time. Some people just have a gift. And Lou has a second one, a little something for the ladies—he can dance like an Arthur Murray instructor. His best friend, movie-star handsome, socially awkward Dion “Monk” Monkton, has his own super power: working out intricate and diabolical revenge plans.
Missing Amanda
Lou and Monk get hustled into finding the kidnapped daughter of Chicago mob boss, Duke Braddock. Thing is, there’s no kidnapping, there’s no daughter. It’s all a scam to stir up a gang war to get Braddock’s guy named mayor.
It turns out, if you accidentally get mixed up in a gang war, working out intricate and diabolical revenge plans is a handy super power to have on your side. Monk’s got the brains, Lou’s got the moves, and newcomer Cassidy Adams provides the looks. They all provide the fast-moving action, leading to the most satisfying ending you could ever want when Lou and company actually find…the missing Amanda.
Seriously?
Nazis in America! Seriously?
Lou and Cassidy are hired by an elderly survivor of an infamous Nazi death camp who swears her new neighbor was a guard there. So now they’re up against a gang of ruthless killers who shouldn’t even exist. Add a gun-toting crook who thinks Monk cheated him at cards; add a new lady for the ever-awkward Monk, and you’ve got a thriller filled with trademark Feener fights, humor and romance.
The Devil In Her Heart
Monk’s in a lot of trouble—grabbed and beaten by a revenge-seeking killer, stripped of all their money. Lou and Cassie are caught flat-footed when they’re suddenly broke.
He’s in California, they’re in Chicago. With no money and no idea where he is, can they rescue their friend and get back what’s theirs?
The Classy Detective Agency
It’s 1960 in glamorous Chicago, and Lou and his wife Cassidy are broke. They devise a scheme to advertise themselves as sophisticated private eyes catering to the city’s elite, but whip-smart as they are, they aren’t prepared for the stealthy criminals hiding among Chicago’s rich and famous.
Set up to take the fall for an art heist, Cassidy’s arrested and Lou’s branded a cop killer and hunted throughout the city. With Monk still in California, they’re on their own. Lou’s Plan B might not be as elegant as Monk’s, but it’s wildly entertaining and true to his guiding principle: Always do the unexpected.
Ticket to Heaven
Chicago’s sleaziest businessman is trying to pay off his sins. The cruel, strange real estate tycoon Elwood Tymms—known as “Terrible Tymms”—is dying and before he goes, he’s trying to throw all his money to charitable causes in an off-the-wall effort to buy his way into heaven. But Tymms has a problem: he’s got so many enemies he might end up assassinated before he can finish giving away his cash—and in his mind that means he’d end up in hell. Cassidy and Lou agree to act as his security detail and Tymms ends up taking shelter in their apartment. Big surprise…he’s not the best roommate.
Filthy Rich
Down-and-out comedian “Filthy” Rich wasn’t always living on the edge, telling viciously dirty jokes in the seediest possible strip clubs. He was once famous for a clean routine, until his estranged wife ran off with Rich’s best jokes. Rich hires Lou to find the missing jokes—and the wayward wife, leading Lou down a perilous rabbit hole of deceit, lies, and frame ups.

The Shadow SpinnerAuthor: Eric KaoGenre: Fantasy
Free via Kindle Unlimited: Yes
Regular Price: $3.99Today’s Price: FREE!Click Here for Your Free Copy!Book Description:
Fate shines upon the favored few, casting the shadow of destiny before them. Shadows dance for Hermit because he tells them to. Destiny will be no different.
Legends tell of a fearsome mage whose Lightning could Split the sky. They usually skip past the part where the Tempest cleaned tables for eighteen years.
Bards sing of a mighty warrior whose Blows could rend the ground in two. They generally omit the stanza that describes the Omen of Destruction as a doting grandmother.
Storytellers whisper of a brilliant leader whose Light could Illuminate the world. They often don’t mention that the Hidden Sun is a conman and a thief.
Hermit, a vagabond Shadow Spinner, pulls N’Halia out of the burning ruins of her home. The flames don’t bother Hermit anymore than being stabbed does. N’Halia joins Hermit on his mysterious journey so she can learn how to fight and unlock her true Power in order to become the strongest mage in all of Dome.

Changing Your Kindle’s Default Dictionary
Your Kindle comes pre-loaded with a dictionary, which is handy at times to look up various words and other things you may not know the definition or context the author is using. For example, the standard dictionary on my Kindle is called The New Oxford American Dictionary; I find it ironic an American dictionary is published by a company with a UK-sounding name, as we don’t use the Queen’s version of English over here but then again, I have a strange sense of humor.
Strange sense of humor aside, this brings up the point I want to make: what if you want to use some other dictionary, say in another language or one that uses the Queen’s English, or Spanish, a specialized topic, etc.? Amazon has a special category with well over 100 dictionaries that can be changed to be your default dictionary. You can click here and shop away.
Want a medical dictionary? They have it: click here for an example.
Spanish to English? click here for an example.
English to French? Click here for an example.
Looking for a Bible dictionary? There’s over 100 of them – click here for an example.
There’s also things like an Official Scrabble Players Dictionary (click here)
A review of the Top 50 best-selling dictionaries you can make as your default Kindle dictionary has most of the “major” languages (defined in terms of the world’s population), each of which you can put on your Kindle.
The next question you will have is, “how do I make one of these my default dictionary” vs. staying with the default New Oxford dictionary. Of course I am going to tell you it is pretty easy (because it is), and here is how you do it for an e-Ink Kindle:
I’ll start off with you need to buy or acquire from one of the free sites a new dictionary and it has to be on your Kindle; I would stick with one from the Amazon Kindle store as they have been formatted and tested to work with your Kindle – I know, that’s not a free book, but the point I want to make is you want to make sure it works (and not giving you a bogus definition to boot). Additionally, if you don’t have another dictionary on your Kindle the following instructions will not work at all.Once you have acquired this new dictionary and have it on your Kindle, go to your Kindle’s Home or Settings screen.Press the “All Settings” icon.Scroll down and select the “Language & Dictionaries” option.Select the “Dictionaries” option.Tap the name of the dictionary you want to use and select it.For a Fire Tablet, while you can put as many dictionaries as you want on the device, it is very hard to change the default dictionary: you can change it to a different language (and get a free dictionary), but you can’t, as an example, make a medical dictionary your default dictionary. To make Spanish the default dictionary, you will need to change the language on your Fire. Here is how you do it courtesy of the Fire discussion board on the Amazon website:
The menus and default dictionary on Kindle Fire HD can be changed to support the following languages: English (United States), English (United Kingdom), French, Spanish, German, Italian, or Japanese.
To change the language on your Fire Tablet:
Swipe down from the top of the screen and tap the “Gear” in the top right-hand of the pull-down screen.Scroll down and tap Keyboard & Language.Tap Language, and then tap your preferred language.The menus and user interface language will change immediately to your new preferred language selection. You can also download a dictionary for your new language selection (make sure your Wi-Fi is on and connected):
While reading, highlight a word in your preferred language.In the lower-right corner of the dictionary dialog box, tap the language name.Select your preferred language. A free dictionary for the language will download.When the download is complete, you will see a definition of the word in your preferred language if the word appears in the dictionary. This will set the default dictionary to your preferred language.
Hope that helps!
Michael
