One Week Promo on Both Ebooks for 99 cents

Tomorrow is again Thrifty Thursday on Indies Unlimited, a promotion site for Indie-publishers like me.
It marks the start of a WEEK of deals for Kindle ebooks, where Anne of Oasis and Escape From The Bedside will be on sale for 99 cents US each (only from November 4 - 11).
Lots of other ebooks there to download as well. Just click on any book, and it “whispers” its way to your Kindle (or the free downloadable reader). Sounds fishy, but it’s all above-board.
Enjoy!

Introducing ANNE of OASIS, my debut novel!
Available now as an ebook and the paperback is coming soon.
A TREK TO THE HEART OF THE MATTER IN MATTERS OF THE HEART,
says Ted Staunton, author of Who I'm Not and Jump Cut.
Anne is an eccentric seventy-year-old, obsessed with changing her life — or ending it. She bumbles through mysterious rituals with a talk-therapist, explodes secrets, re-jigs behaviours and embraces bliss in the arms of a woman who was right in front of her for fifty years.
