Lots of FREE e-books!
I'm having a free promotion for my latest collection of short stories Delusion and Dreams on Amazon from the 3rd to the 5th July! I hope you'll take the opportunity to download a copy.
Delusion and Dreams is a collection of 12 new short stories that include the themes of obsession, love, betrayal, greed, and courage... and of course delusion and dreams :)
There are also 5 bonus stories in the collection; those are stories that were previously published in other anthologies that you may or may not have read before. I thought it would be nice to include them all in one book.
Even if you don't own a Kindle, with the free apps on Amazon you can read Kindle books on your PC, Mac, smartphone, or iPad.

I've found out about a few more free promotions going on at the moment! I'm sure there's something for every taste in the list below! (For Kindle books, I'm only including the Amazon.com link, but all the books are available on Amazon worldwide).
Can't Live Without by Joanne Phillips, is available free on Amazon until tomorrow, so hurry if you want this one. I haven't read it yet, but it has loads of great reviews and looks like the type of thing I would enjoy!
Stella Hill is proud of the home she's created for herself and her daughter. She's worked hard to buy the very best of everything ... But when she wakes one morning to find her kitchen on fire, Stella knows her life will never be the same again.
At least she has Paul to lean on: Paul Smart, owner of Smart Homes, confirmed bachelor and unknowing recipient of a schoolgirl crush Stella never quite got over ... When the charismatic John Dean turns up after sixteen years, Stella is determined not to fall for him again. Because now her heart belongs elsewhere. Or does it?
With a boss she's half in love with, a teenage daughter about to go seriously off the rails, a spendaholic mother, and a house to rebuild, Stella's problems are only just beginning.
Can Stella put her life - and her home - back together again? And will she ever realise just what it is she really can't live without?

Descent of Blood by Elizabeth Marx is free on Amazon at the moment, and I'm not sure for how much longer, so all you vampire fans should grab a copy now!
England, 1465. Mortal men clash in the War of the Roses for the English crown, while vampire warriors' move undetected among their ranks, savoring the flow of blood that battlefields provide. Vampire prince, Severian Pearce, fears the revelation of the immortal clans to humankind should King Henry fall from power. While in pursuit of Henry's enemies, Severian comes to the aid of Meridian Neville, a human woman he craves, and not for the scent of her blood. Meridian is torn between honoring her father's dying wish and her unexplainable yearning for Lord Severian. But as Severian and Meridian work together to protect a relic hunted by mortals and immortals alike, the red veil descends over them.
This all-consuming attraction can drive immortals to the brink of madness. Will the existence of this powerful bond between a human and a vampire be enough to unite the immortal clans or is the red veil a scourge set on destroying any chance they might have of happiness?
When all hope is lost, one vampire will fight unto death for his forbidden love.

Another Elizabeth Marx book, is also currently free, Cutters vs. Jocks.
On the idyllic campus of Indiana University, Little-Libby-Nobody clashes with Band-Aid All-American-Athlete and fireworks explode, spiraling Libby and Aidan into a collision course of love at first sight versus lust you can't fight. Libby believes superstar jocks don't take cutters to Rose Well House, at midnight and pledge their undying devotion beneath its sparkling dome. And Band-Aid imagines there's no place in the major leagues for a small-town waitress. As the game plays out and their affection grows, they realize that labels like cutters and jocks can't extinguish what's between them.

Regina Puckett's The Magic of Snow is free on Amazon until 4th July 2013! I haven't read this one either, but it sounds like an interesting twist on a fairy tale.
In our beloved fairy tales of old, Prince Charming always saves the damsel in distress. In our modern world, sometimes the damsel has to find a way to save her prince.
When Sarah White meets the ruggedly handsome Staff Sergeant Charlie Prince, she discovers a man with a pure heart hidden underneath his warrior façade. Before Charlie leaves with his unit for Afghanistan, he promises to stay in touch, but after nine months of exchanging letters and emails, he stops writing. When the letters stop coming, Sarah waits in agonized suspense, not knowing if the man she had fallen in love with has been killed in action or if he has just decided he is no longer interested in her.
Magic is real, but it’s not for the fainthearted or nonbelievers. It takes true love to release it and hard work and determination to keep it.

How Teddy Roosevelt Slew the Last Mighty T-Rex, by Mark Paul Jacobs, will be free on Amazon on 4th & 5th July.
Still stinging from his recent election loss, former president Theodore Roosevelt sought refuge in the Brazilian jungles in early 1914 on an expedition to trace the last unmapped Amazonian river system, the Rio da Dúvida or The River of Doubt. Co-commanded by famed Brazilian explorer Colonel Candido Rondon and staffed with Roosevelt’s 24-year-old son Kermit, naturalist George Cherrie, and more than a dozen local porters and laborers, the Roosevelt-Rondon Scientific Expedition was plagued by disaster from its very onset—incompetent planning and inadequate outfitting would result in near mutiny, hunger, death, and even cold-blooded murder. But Roosevelt meets an odd stranger along his ill-fated journey, who tells an astonishing tale that could challenge the very core of modern Natural History. Weakened by illness and starvation, Teddy Roosevelt is caught in a web of unfathomable danger, the results of which would alter his life and the lives of his companions forever.

Thanks Maria for including me. BTW, I know you know that Amazon links are territory specific, but you can CREATE a link that works everywhere for FREE! Check it out, it's really helped with my international sales and there are no strings attached.http://t.co/dx7CxDZRLL
Best of luck,
Elizabeth
Hi Elizabeth, you're welcome.I used to use that 'viewbookat' site but heard lots of negative things about it. Including that they take a commission when people click through from there to buy a book. Not only that though, when I tried to click through to your books from the links you gave me on Twitter it came up with an error message. I've also noticed that sometimes it doesn't take you to the correct Amazon store. Whenever I click on those links it still mostly takes me to Amazon.com and I'm in the UK. I don't use that site anymore especially after someone told me that she usually sells lots of books but when she started using that site she saw hardly any sales because it's so unreliable.
I'm not going to go back to using it myself.
Really, Maria, you must stop doing this to me. I won't live long enough to read all the books I have!
Thanks, Maria, I've downloaded a few - I'd already downloaded Regina's - gee, even less sleep now!
Darcia wrote: "Really, Maria, you must stop doing this to me. I won't live long enough to read all the books I have!"LOL, sorry Darcia! I have the same problem. I'm glad we have e-readers now otherwise I wouldn't be able to get through my front door with the amount on books I own!

Right on, Maria! You are my Goodreads 'ro...and I know just what to do come the third and fifth!! I love that Dreams & Delusions is a collection, and can't wait to dig in. Shorts are fun because they are like bon-bons instead of a whole giant chocolate bar...and i am a notorious snacker...I am going to attempt to add this to my "to read" list, now. Wish me luck, as I am a gremmie Goodreader..haha...:)
"bon-bons instead of a whole chocolate bar", I like that LOLI hope you like the book! I enjoyed your short story :)
