65,000+ Free Kindle Books
I will explain the title of this post in just a moment, but I wanted to just say a quick thank you to each of you for your support over the years for continuing to make this a successful blog and website – what started off as something really small 13 years ago continues to amaze me at the size it is now and it is still running!
Now, about the title of the post – as I type this up in advance, there are over 65,000 books being offered for free in the Amazon USA Kindle store: that is more than you and I can read in our lifetimes. I’ve created links to all of the various categories (mysteries, romance, etc.) you can click to be taken right to the genre you are most interested in so you don’t have to wade through everything. You can get those links – for free, of course – by downloading the book that started it all for me. Various editions have been downloaded over 1 million times, and I’d like nothing more than to have it downloaded a few more thousand times today.
I’ve set it up for free for the next three days, and you can grab it if you click here. I’ve also setup my other Kindle “how to” books for free. If you click on the link above, just click on my name to be taken to my Amazon author page and grab those for free while you can.
As we wind up 2020, and what a year it has been, I hope everyone has a successful and safe 2021!

Book Description:
A terrorist on the run.
A secret government agency.
A teenager who can travel through time.
After moving halfway around the world, Sam thinks his biggest problems are homesickness and his probably one-sided feelings for the daughter of his mother’s boss. But when his family’s flight is brought down in a shocking act of terrorism, he suffers a traumatic brain injury that leaves him in a coma.
On waking in hospital Sam discovers that his father died in the crash. Struggling to come to terms with his loss, he begins to experience strange seizures that distort the flow of time and transport him into the body of his past or future self. At first these episodes feel more like a disability than anything useful. That is until he collapses and learns of another terrorist attack: this time in the future.
Can Sam prevent the impending atrocity before it takes place? Can he master his new powers to save his family from violent deaths that are already in the past, defeat the sinister forces that wish to use him for their own ends, and maybe also win the girl he loves… by turning the pages of time?

Book Description:
He can’t stay. She can’t let him go.
Halley, stuck covering house-sitting jobs for her self-absorbed mom, has Hollywood dreams but no real life. Until the day covering for her mom leads to a tumble back to London, 1598, where Halley meets a hot, rich earl named Edmund. And accidentally brings him to the 21st century.
Her dull summer just got a whole lot more interesting as she tells Edmund to keep his hands off tech he doesn’t understand and a deadly sword he can’t use in public brawls. All while trying to keep from falling for him, which definitely can’t happen.
Now Halley’s job is to get Edmund back where he belongs–while preventing a very scary scientist from suspecting she messed with his time machine. If the evil scientist finds out about Edmund, Edmund’s as good as dead. And what might that do to history? Not to mention, Halley would be next in line …
Summer’s not boring anymore.
Halley just needs to keep from getting killed, save Edmund (and history) before it’s too late, and not fall for a guy who can’t stick around.
No matter how much she want him to.

About the Author:
Cidney Swanson writes unforgettable contemporary characters who are genuinely shocked to find themselves thrown into perilous or Sci-Fi situations. Well, except for the heroine from Mars. Come on. How shocked could a Mars colonist be to find herself in Sci-Fi peril? After they (okay, *most of them*) get over their shock, they start kicking butt and taking names, and usually do some kissing along the way. Cidney’s complex plotting and stick-with-you characters have resulted in a few nice awards, including a Kirkus Reviews annual Best of Young Adult/Teen and an SCBWI Spark Honor Book. When she’s not placing her characters in peril, Cidney can be found asking her husband, cats, kids, and anyone else who will listen why it rains so much in Oregon’s Willamette Valley.

Book Description:
PHONES ARE OUT AND THE CITY’S UNDER WATER—
A FIELD DAY FOR CRIMINALS! AND LOTS OF THEM ARE COPS…
August 29, 2005 – Doomsday: New Orleans is eighty per cent under water—no electricity, no phones, no 911 service, no rules. Facing the complete breakdown of systems and normality, New Orleans homicide Detective Skip Langdon is on her own to interpret and execute the only direction she’s given: Get out there and keep the peace.
With communications down and all emergency services on search and rescue, all Skip can hope to accomplish is helping the person right in front of her. More than once that person turns out to be Billy, a gutsy 15-year-old from Treme who’s in greater danger of being swamped by his chaotic home life than the Cat 5 hurricane Skip shelters him from.
When she escorts him home and discovers the scene of a possible homicide, homicide detecting must take a back seat to maintaining order—if not peace. Outrageous rumors are swirling, stirring up unrest, but what really bothers her is the one about a police department order to use the chaos as a cover for “cleaning up” by rounding up criminals and assassinating them. Now that just can’t be true. Can it?
But after she hears it for the third time, Skip teams up with the only cop in the city she’s positive she can trust, her former partner, movie-star handsome, kickass, praline-sweet Adam Abasolo. They may not be able to fix everything, but, as the bodies pile up, they are damn sure going to hit back at the guys who’re giving their department a black eye.
On any regular weekday, New Orleans lives up to its billing as The Big Crazy. In post-Katrina New Orleans, where the dirty cops and lunatics are running the asylum, author Julie Smith also takes us inside the actual asylum, Charity Hospital emergency psych unit, an unexpected oasis of comfort in stark contrast to endless amounts of ever-present filthy water and hordes of half-drowned people.
Smith strikes just the right note, capturing the massive tragedy of the events and the inevitable comedy as the survivors struggle to make sense of the closest thing to hell squared that any of them has ever seen.

This month’s free pick is The Long Tomorrow, by Leigh Brackett, which you should be pleased to note while this book costs $7.99 in the Amazon Kindle website, you can get it for free if you follow the instructions below.

Here is the book’s description:
One of the original novels of post-nuclear-holocaust America, The Long Tomorrow is considered by many to be one of the finest science fiction novels ever written on the subject. The story has inspired generations of new writers and is still as mesmerizing today as when it was originally written.
Len and Esau are young cousins living decades after a nuclear war has destroyed civilization as we know it. The rulers of the post-war community have forbidden the existence of large towns and consider technology evil.
However, Len and Esau long for more than their simple agrarian existence. Rumors of mythical Bartorstown, perhaps the last city in existence, encourage the boys to embark on a journey of discovery and adventure that will call into question not only firmly held beliefs, but the boys’ own personal convictions.
Enjoy!
Michael

Except…
After years of planning, Lucifer has discovered a means to kill his siblings, the Archangels. It’s a perfect plan. One he’s sure Jude will not see coming. Neither will the Archangels who’ve now become complacent, self-righteous, judgmental, and arrogant.
The battle begins when Ava, the woman chosen to veil the Sacred City of Ashbourne, cries out for help.

Who really is Alexandra?
Protected from a world of angels, demons, vampires, and hybrids, Alexandra thinks knowing nothing about her father is the biggest of all the secrets her mother holds. Until she has an accident on her motorcycle.
Speed-loving Alexandra is paralyzed, then wakes up a few minutes later completely healed. It’s difficult for her to draw the truth out of her protective mother and to understand why she sees visions of angels. Somewhere out there, there’s a man they call the Vangel, who is both her foe and soulmate. Some say he wants Alexandra dead, but no one remembers his face.
Is he Alexandra’s current boyfriend, her maybe-next boyfriend, or someone she’s yet to meet? The answer lies in her past, which she can’t know until she gets the Ring that will protect her from the fatal consequences of unveiling the truth. Will Alexandra be patient enough to wait? Or will her curiosity bring the world tumbling down?
