In Case of a Lost Kindle….
It’s been a while since I have sent out a tip – in this case, I didn’t think of this one but it was sent to me by long-time blog reader Penny Parker. Here is what she had to say about how to protect your Kindle if it is lost or stolen where you can provide the information prominently with the hope that whoever finds it will consider returning it:
I created a “collection” called “00 please read this if you find this Kindle”. By putting “00” in the front of this title it will automatically go to the first item in the list of contents. Then I sent myself a personal document called “read this” to the email address for my Kindle Paperwhite and had it converted to Kindle format (by putting “convert” in the email subject line). The message simply said that I own this Kindle, my name, how to reach me by email or mobile phone, and that I would gladly pay a reward for its return. And I close with “thank you.”
Thank you, Penny for passing this on! If you have a tip you think others would find helpful, please send it on to me (michael at fkbt dot com) and it may appear here on the blog!

First Light of DayAuthor: Michael J.T. SteepGenre: Thriller
Free via Kindle Unlimited: Yes
Regular Price: $9.99Today’s Price: $0.99Click Here to Buy!Book Description:
FIRST LIGHT OF DAY is two things. First, it’s a compelling story wrapped around a disquieting look at life in 2045 in the aftermath of a technology revolution that profoundly changed the nature of society. Second, it’s a non-fiction look at the technologies available today that make this revolution possible and even probable.
In the fictional, part one of the book, the world is on the brink of creating the first truly sentient machines. Technology has changed everything from travel and work to government and even personal relationships. Most developed societies are segregated between high-end knowledge workers who enjoy all the benefits of life in the new digital cities and the majority of the population who have been rendered economically superfluous. The characters’ inner struggles are intellectual, philosophical and spiritual—and their time before losing control of their lives to their own creations is running out.
The second non-fiction part of the book provides an overview of the 10 categories of technology that play crucial roles in the story and are shaping our world today.
The author, Michael J.T. Steep, is the founder and executive director of the Disruptive Technology and Digital Cities Program at Stanford University School of Engineering and one of today’s leading experts on technology innovation. He wrote this book as a cautionary tale for anyone who wonders about the impact of unchecked technology development currently underway.

Deuce Mora Box SetAuthor: Jean Heller
Genre: Mystery
Free via Kindle Unlimited: Yes
Regular Price: $6.99Today’s Price: FREE!Click Here for Your Free Copy!Book Description:
Three heart-stopping, hard-boiled mysteries for free!
Deuce Mora’s one tough cookie–-a female sleuth with a conscience and an attitude–fiery, tough, athletic, a dirty fighter when she has to be. The scrappy lead columnist for the Chicago Journal normally writes about politics, and, rather than shying away from fights, she tends to pick them, but every once in a while, Deuce’s search for a good story brings her face to face with more trouble than she was really looking for. In award-winning (including two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist) journalist Jean Heller’s first action-packed mystery featuring the intrepid sleuth, Deuce learns in short order that if you mess with organized crime, you have to be tough—and you’d better be as much detective as reporter. The second volume finds Deuce on the wrong side of the NSA, the FBI and the CIA. At a minimum. Exhausted by these two white-knuckle investigations in one year, Deuce is content to focus on her column until she gains information that could help catch the relentless arsonist whose Burning Rage is consuming Chicago.
THE SOMEDAY FILE
Deuce uncovers a series of crimes committed over nearly six decades, and, as her human interest story morphs into a hard-boiled, action-packed mystery, she finds herself dead center in a storm of threats and reprisals from the mob. Fortunately, she has many allies, but at least one of them, she suspects, is hiding a secret–- corruption? Murder? The veteran reporter knows: if you’re talking Chicago crime scene—it’s probably both.
THE HUNTING GROUND
The grisly discovery of a human bone while Deuce is out for a hike with handsome arson investigator Mark Hearst leads to the unearthing of a vast burial field, a human trafficking ring, and international intrigue. The pull-no-punches columnist– and meticulous detective– keeps turning up information, but the Journal’s lawyer appears daily, bringing warnings about “national security.” What, Deuce seethes, could be a greater matter of national security than the safety of the city’s children, who are being kidnapped and murdered?
BURNING RAGE
Whole blocks of Chicago real estate are falling to an arsonist, but no one knows why and everyone suspects the worst – terrorism. But no terrorist group has claimed the mayhem. From the moment she hears the earliest details of the first fire, her detective-instincts say the pieces don’t fit, and every other instinct tells the hard-hitting reporter she can’t walk away from the story – even though she knows she’ll regret it.

Romance and adventure…and a trip to where an American tradition began…
Libby Edwards journeys back in time to Louisville, Kentucky just before the Kentucky Derby becomes a reality and stumbles upon her destiny. Unfortunately, she’s in the wrong century.
In 1874, there’s no electricity, no internet, no modern medicine, no antibiotics—no Starbucks! And even worse, women have no rights. Libby has no desire to stay.
Widower, Colin Thorpe, a renaissance man of his time, has big dreams. He is a horse breeder who names his thoroughbreds after Mythological Gods because he has a reverence for past cultures and an appreciation for the unexplainable.
Libby and Colin can’t resist falling in love with each other. After all, Colin accepts Libby for who she is and she understands Colin’s dreams better than his deceased wife ever did. Yet he grasps early on that Libby doesn’t belong in 1874. And because his wife never adapted to the move from Virginia to Kentucky, becoming bitter and unhappy in the process, he won’t take the chance of the same thing happening to Libby. Can these two lovers find a way to be together despite their challenges?

A review of his conviction has set him free and as a friend of the family, Singleton wants to make sure Mallory finds more evidence to put him back behind bars.

When Mallory’s investigation reveals a link between the girl in the alley, Elizabeth, and another murder victim from seven years ago, he can’t help but wonder if they are connected.
With the motive unclear, and the perpetrator a mystery, Mallory must piece together the evidence that may solve three cases instead of one, overcome a miscarriage of justice and uncover a killer who may be closer than he thinks.

A mysterious stranger, a mild-mannered Dwarven bartender and the magical creature who’s adopted her.
Cali had life all figured out till three revelations change everything.
One. An escaped prisoner shows her the underbelly of her city.
Two. She discovers the secret her murdered parents hid about her magic.
Three. Two competing gangs target her and her friends.

The city’s magical council is precious little help, leaving her to handle things on her own, as usual.
Fyre has adopted her and decided to take certain matters into his own claws, creating chaos. Can the cops be far behind?
Just a month ago her biggest challenge was not slapping annoying customers at the Drunken Dragons Tavern. Good times.
And now her guardian gives her the weirdest birthday present of all: The knowledge that her parents left her a legacy, and it’s time for her to claim it.

Tanyith’s off investigating his ex-girlfriend’s missing friend. Awkward much?
It has to be done. The stakes are rising all around them. A new batch of drugs is tilting the battle between the Zatoras and the Atlanteans, ratcheting up the risk for everyone in New Orleans.
