I thought it would be nice if we let each other know when our books are doing the free day promotions at Kindle Select.

My book, Life Isn't Just Luck, is free December 29 - January 2. I would appreciate if you would let me know what you think of it. Even if you hate it, I'd like to know what you think would make it better.

If you don't hate it, please go back to Amazon and post a review. Let's all help each other get our books noticed!

Time's Twisted Arrow: Book One of the CHRONOS Files is free on Kindle January 24 & 25.

Kirkus Book Reviews: "Sharp writing, a flair for dialogue and a big, twisting imagination."

★★★★★"Blend H. G. Wells' The Time Machine with BBC's Dr. Who, add a side of Jon D. MacDonald's The Girl, The Gold Watch and Everything, season generously with Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next novels, and you have a taste for Rysa Walker's first-in-a-series work Time's Twisted Arrow: Book One of the CHRONOS Files. Part science fiction, part historical novel, part young romance, mystery and action, all fast paced and riveting, this one will keep you up past bedtime."

Time's Twisted Arrow has a 4.8 average rating out of 28 reviews and has been on the Amazon Teen Historical Fiction list for the past three weeks.

My YA SF, Gator & Shark Save the World , is free today at Amazon.

Gator and Shark Save the World is about love and friendship, and the baggage good and bad that we inherit from our elders. The science fiction aspects concern the evolution of intelligence and the nature of consciousness. But I suspect readers will love or hate the book depending on their reaction to fifteen-year-old Shark. She's clever and brave and bad-ass, but she's also damaged by her mother's early death, and repeatedly embarrassed by her father, a U.S. senator who sees her as a political prop. At the beginning of the novel, her only true friend is her grandfather, Gator, an ex-Secret Service agent whose idea of parenting is to train Shark to be his "little ninja." She wants to get out from under her father's thumb and make friends her own age . . . and avoid the ill intentions of both the Feds and the strange entity who shows up in the Starbucks bathroom at Ronald Reagan University.

He still can’t get a half-decent job, and what’s worse, he now has a four year old daughter that his wife neglected to tell him about. If all that wasn’t enough, it doesn't get much better for Danny when there’s a race riot at Tuccahoe, and afterwards, his former cellmate and a couple of other cons show up at his house wanting a safe place to hide out. When Danny asks them to leave, they refuse. Their plan is to rob a bank so they can get enough money to sail to Paradise. Not only that—but they expect Danny to help…

Ryan, no problem, and I am from Austria so we call it manuscript or script for short. We are still using the Latin words old fashioned we are. I am editor (need on? :) ) and social scientist and made my masters on Austrian armed forces so I am particularly interested in your script - is it a novel/ biography/etc?
Looking forward to reading it. Regards.

Bloodsuckers on the Bayou: The Myths, Symbols, and Tales Behind HBO's True Blood
free on Amazon Kindle Aug 3-Aug 7 http://www.amazon.com/Bloodsuckers-Ba...
There’s also a paperback giveaway at http://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho...

True Blood is more than just an HBO show brimming with sex and gore, or another vampire horror story blown up by big media. Independent detective Sookie Stackhouse is following the classic heroine’s journey, seen in epic myth and popular fantasy, from the quests of Isis and Demeter to the struggles of Dorothy Gale or Katniss Everdeen. Beside her, Sam, Jason, Alcide, Eric, and Bill, along with Pam, Tara, and Jessica embark on their own epic quests into darkness seeking freedom and belonging. From the show’s mythic structure to the maenads, fairies, demonesses, werewolves, and vampires, True Blood swells from its ancient roots to tackle modern issues and sensibilities in a breathtaking epic…while still breaking taboos and tackling boundaries.

Hi Everyone,

The first 6 Episodes of my serialized novel, Hearth: Exile (Book One of the Hearth Tetralogy) are Free Wed. and Thur. – August 14th and 15th on Amazon Kindle. In other words, Right Now! Download your Free copies and read an epic fantasy which spans two worlds. This will be the only time all these Episodes are Free at the same time, and it may be the last time they are Free at all before I publish the complete volume of Hearth: Exile next month (September) on all major platforms. Here is the synopsis:

- A man with no memory…

- A woman with strange dreams…

- An orphan girl, all alone in the world…

Three lost souls, brought together by fate, journey across the Christmas landscape of New York City, seeking answers to an unfolding and ever-growing mystery, watched over by Sister Regina, the head of the Convent where they are staying. As they begin to find answers, as they begin to discover more and more clues to Lauren and Brinn’s identities, something stalks them – an ancient and deadly Evil from before the dawn of recorded history. A clock is ticking now, and they must solve the mystery of their origins and who they are soon. For it is not just they and everyone around them who are threatened; the entire fate of humanity and of two worlds is in peril, unless they find answers, and find answers soon.

We have been told by readers that New York is like another character in the book, and I don’t think it’s going too far to say that the first Season of Hearth is, in part, a love letter to my old hometown and the place of my birth. So I invite the Reader to come in, stay awhile and get comfortable. If you like what you see, maybe you’re willing to go a little further. Let the story, and those who struggle against impossible odds, draw you in and carry you away – to Hearth!

Here is the link to the beginning of your adventure!

Jeff Draid is a geek genius. He's made a piece of hardware that will leave America's enemies nowhere left to hide.

It should make him rich but from the edge of triumph he is thrown into a nightmare of violence and fear.

Hunted by killers, and wanted by the Government Draid has to answer just one question.

When there is no place left to hide, where do you run?

"The story grabs you from the start...moves along at breakneck speed. Plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing," "An original plot just when you think you have worked it out, the story moves on and throws up more twists..."

[Jamie]

My book, "Online Innocence" will be on a Free Promotion Week starting tomorrow. You can DL it on Kindle for Free through the 19th. You can find a synopsis of the story on the Amazon page, as well as a little bit about me. Hope you enjoy!
