Samples of Kindle Books
I thought it was an appropriate time to remind you of the free sample option Amazon has with the Kindle program: consider it like going to the bookstore (well, that is if there are many of them still open these days) and turning a few pages before buying it. You can get a free sample of a Kindle book – usually a few chapters to just a couple of pages – to try out and see if the book is something you are interested in prior to buying. I use the feature quite a bit, as I get extremely annoyed in shelling out money for a book and realizing about 10% of the way through it I think it’s not for me.
If I am interested in the book, I will do one of two things:
If it is a free book and I am even remotely interested in it, I will download the whole thing. What do I have to lose? Nothing (e.g., it’s free!). Should I complain because I don’t like it or the genre? No. Again, it’s free – why the sense of entitlement? Over the past several years I get complaints emailed to me from time-to-time about too much of one genre or the other being available for free. Why? I don’t know – a publisher or independent author is making it available for free which sounds great to me. Like I said before, you don’t have anything to lose! Maybe these folks should redirect their energies and complain directly to the dysfunctional US Congress – both parties – about getting their act together and behaving as adults…but that’s another blog post for another venue.If it is not a free book (gasp!), I usually will download the sample in order to see if I like the first couple of pages, then I will make my buying decision. Why waste money sight unseen when I can have a sample downloaded to my Kindle for free?I bring this up as I don’t want any of you to forget about the free sample option. I have a separate folder / category devoted to samples on my Kindle, and I select and download 3-4 samples at a time when I see something after trolling through the Amazon store, but I may not check the sample out until later. Why wait so long? Usually, it is because I am in the middle of another book – I’m not one of those people who can multitask between three and four books at the same time. When I’m reading a book I’m usually pretty absorbed and get deep into the story, characters, etc. and can look up at the clock and realize three hours have quickly passed.
So, how do you find / download the free Kindle sample? Go to any Kindle book available for sale – not free, as Amazon doesn’t send a free sample of a free book – on Amazon’s website and on the right-hand side of the page you will see another icon titled “Send a free sample.” Click that button – if you have multiple Kindles, please make sure you have the correct Kindle listed in the drop-down menu. If you are looking at a book via shopping directly on your Kindle, one of the options is to check out the free sample, click that item and the sample will be delivered to you.
With the free samples, plus the books on my Kindle now, I should be set for a long time…
Hope that helps!
Michael

Conjure Woman’s CatAuthor: Malcolm R. CampbellGenre: Literary Fiction
Regular Price: $4.99Today’s Price: $0.99Click Here to Buy!Book Description:
Lena, a shamanistic cat, and her conjure woman Eulalie live in a small town near the Apalachicola River in Florida’s lightly populated Liberty County, where longleaf pines own the world. In Eulalie’s time, women of color look after white children in the homes of white families and are respected, even loved, but distrusted and kept separated as a group. A palpable gloss, sweeter than the state’s prized tupelo honey, holds their worlds firmly apart. When that gloss fails, the Klan restores its own brand of order.
When some white boys rape and murder a black girl named Mattie near the sawmill, the police have no suspects and don’t intend to find any. Eulalie, who sees conjure as a way of helping the good Lord work His will, intends to set things right by “laying tricks.”
But Eulalie has secrets of her own, and it’s hard not to look back on her own life and ponder how the decisions she made while drinking and singing at the local juke were, perhaps, the beginning of Mattie’s ending.

Kindle Reset Instructions
I am going to set this message up to go out every couple of months: if you’ve seen it before and know what I’m talking about, or if you’re just plain ‘ole tired of seeing it don’t worry – I’ll be back with a new post soon.
There seems to be a Kindle problem for a lot of folks – that is, what do you need to do if (a) your Kindle or Fire Tablet freezes up, or (b) you’ve ordered a book, app or anything else and it never seems to download.
You may need to write this down, or try to memorize it, because if it happens to you I’m willing to bet you won’t remember unless you’ve reset your Kindle a few times!
If this happens to you, you will need to reboot your Kindle.
Here is how you reboot an e-Ink Kindle:
Click the “Home” button to get back to your home screen.Click the “Menu” button, and select “Settings.”You will see several options, but “reboot” is not one of those options. Press the “Menu” button again.You will have several options, but choose and click the “Restart” button.Alternatively, some Kindles are different – say the Paperwhite. Use the same instructions for the Kindle Fire below or just press and hold the power button for about 15 seconds or so.Here is how you reboot a Fire Tablet:
Press and hold the power button for 20 seconds, then release the power button.The Fire will turn off.After the Fire has turned off, press the power button once and release it to restart the Fire.Once you reboot your Kindle or Fire Tablet, it could take about 1-2 minutes to reboot. Make sure your wireless is on, and the Kindle will go look in the Amazon store to see what is pending to be downloaded and viola! You should be back in business. If you ever need to restart your Kindle, I hope this helps!
Michael

Fool him once…
I’ve never been one to complain about my lack of good fortune, figuring I lead a pretty blessed life, but when suddenly people all around us started having their greatest wishes come true, I couldn’t help but wonder when this would happen to me. As it was, life had other surprises in store for us. Namely to be given away as wedding presents.
Indeed—a wedding had been announced and would soon be taking place between Mayor Charlene Butterwick and Chief of Police Alec Lip… if only the future groom hadn’t been kidnapped, causing much distress to all concerned.
Meanwhile a circus had set up shop in Hampton Cove, which soon proved very popular, especially when a fortune teller started telling everyone’s fortunes… and granting their every wish. Odelia felt things were too good to be true, and recruited us cats to do some snooping around. And so snoop around we did—at least until Grandma Muffin gave us away as wedding gifts. Oh, she meant well, of course—but then she always does… before all hell breaks loose.

Today’s Price: $0.99
When life goes sideways, embracing the adventure is the fastest way to set things right.
One day I was just a widow facing the prospect of an empty nest, living a life that was anything but enchanted. The next, I had discovered my magical roots, and my rightful place as the Guardian of the portal between the Faery and Earth.
There was shock. And there was fear. After all, no one plans to start over at forty-five. I intended to grow old with my husband. I thought we’d live an ordinary life. So I’ll be damned if I’m going to waste this opportunity to live in a world I always thought was imaginary.
I’m half-witch, half-faery, and facing dangers as real as the ache in my bad knee. Ibuprofen and caffeine keep me going, and I could do this for the rest of my life. Whoever thinks my family home is an easy mark better take notice: the new Guardian in town isn’t going down without a fight.
After all, she’s already learned to let go of her simple existence and believe in the extraordinary power inside of her. What could possibly stop her now?

A peek into academia reveals clues that others missed. A hot trail develops, leading Case and his pursuers into the Idaho wilderness. But he has an ace in the hole—his ex-Delta teammates join him and demonstrate to the espionage world they still have special skills. Very special skills.
Pursuit changes to South America where Case, now on his own, chases down a thin lead with a gut feel something isn’t right. Is he being played again? And if so, who is the puppet master?

Finding someone to love her as much as her cat does, shouldn’t be this difficult!
Sarcastic yet sweet Mellie, is cursed in the love department. Struggling to figure out who she is beyond her plant obsession, Mellie fails to maintain any relationship. When a handsome stranger, with an annoying knack for showing up everywhere she goes and ability to go toe-to-toe with her sass, moves in across the hall, even her cat can see Mellie’s in trouble.
A prophesy that kills your love life. Or a love life that could end up killing… well everything and everyone. Take your pick.
Erich, the bookish son of Athena, has sworn to never give his heart away, thanks to the best romance killer of a prophecy the world has known. When Athena asks him for a favor, Erich’s curiosity gets the best of him, and he packs up his books and best friend and goes. Things spin out of control when Erich’s heart is enchanted by the woman who lives across the hall, with her sharp wit, love for plants, and annoying cat.
When the world of myth and magic becomes more than something she read in a book, Mellie discovers she’s more a part of Erich’s world than either of them realized. As they battle both their attraction to each other, and monsters from the underworld, one thing becomes clear – love can either save their lives or destroy them.
