Does My Suicide Vest Make Me Look Fat?: A Soldier's Year in IraqUncle Sugar wants YOU to download his FREE Kindle book!
December 24-26, 2014!!
http://bitly.com/1qxtJeI
A chronicle of the beginning of the Iraq War, when the US Military was flush with its success in toppling the regime of Saddam Hussein. The victory became tarnished as warring political and tribal factions transformed the “Land Between Two Rivers” into the Superbowl for terrorism.
Caught in this firestorm was a tiny, but determined, Army Reserve Civil Affairs unit that took on the momentous task of rebuilding schools, medical clinics, and mosques around the perimeter of Baghdad International Airport, during 2003-2004.
This is a chronicle of the insane, stupid, humorous, surreal, and tragic events that befell this band of brothers and sisters on their journey through Iraq Reconstruction. It's a story you didn't see in the media. If you really want to know of the extreme effort and sacrifice of our servicemen and women, read no further.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone!(off topic, but also non-fiction!)
You're Getting Married Soon... Now What?
Hi Everyone,I just joined Goodreads as a reader and author. So, I’m a total newbie. It’s kind of overwhelming. I’m still looking around to find my way in here. But I’d like to hear from you. Don’t hesitate to get in touch, if you feel like it.
I just self-published my first (non-fiction) Kindle eBook, a historical mystery called ‘Finding The Lost Templar Treasure’. I don’t know what to expect, but I’m sure glad it’s now live on Amazon.
Greetings,
Stephen

Nice to meet you, Stephen. Your book looks great. As an author of Kindle short eBooks (20 to 100 pages)I have found it difficult to compete with full length novels unless I had a price point of $2.99 or less. Good luck.
Stephen: As an author of Kindle short eBooks (20 to 100 pages) I have found it difficult to compete with full length novels unless I had a price point of $2.99 or less.Perhaps, you should write a series of short eBooks with a common theme and publish them as a paperback. Thinking of a book in those terms makes the project less intimidating.

Richard: My point was your book is listed as only 54 pages and you're asking $4.99. I am curious where you saw that information. My book, A Christian Guide to Spirituality, is 232 pages and the Kindle lists for $4.95.

Hi, my name is Jitka and I would like to thank you for inviting!
Hello! I'm Janice Schwarz, Owner of GeekArtist Web Solutions, LLC. I've been working in the web industry longer than most people today: 14 years.I love blogging and after a while, realized I wanted to write a book to help people avoid all the mistakes I've seen website owners make over the years.
My book is "Website Wonders Made Easy: Websites Unwoven: A Guide to Creating a PROFESSIONAL Website, in Plain English".
This is NOT a "how to make a website book". There are plenty of those.
This covers legalities, what to do when things go wrong, what to look for when finding someone to make a website, how to work with your web designer, and some brief info on SEO, website promotion and social networks.
It is available on Kindle, on my site (geekartist.com) as a PDF. Formatting now for Nook and then iBooks next.
Kindle: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00R...
Looking forward to getting to know all of you! Cheers!
Ready to read some nonfiction that's refreshingly different? Lobster Tales, Life Lessons, and Laughter is a philosophy book, a reference book, a how-to book, a recipe book, a family & friends story book, a book with pictures, a book full of short/campfire-type stories that all connect to each other, and it’s funny as hell. Do you have even one book on your bookshelf at home that you can say this about? Read this book & you will.This book will entertain you from the moment you begin reading it, no matter how close you are to exceeding the limits of your medication, and won’t stop until you close it at the end. The way it’s structured is custom-made for a busy reader – you can set it down and not look at it for 3 days, pick it up, and not lose any momentum at all; each anecdote is tailored to be a stand-alone campfire story, but when combined with the rest, creates a whole that is greater than the sum of its pieces. (I think. I'm pretty sure. Yeah, it does.)
Who'd be interested & entertained by this book?
People who are family centered; or want to get the skinny on lobsters & lobstering & saltwater fishing & boating on the New England coast; or are looking for some primo lobster recipes; or are visiting New England and want the inside scoop on local eateries/retailers/service providers that locals visit. I can easily see folks reading it who want to gain or validate a few insights into human nature; or want a book that has pictures to accompany the story; or are looking for a perfect beach/lodge/camp read; or who just plain want a book that will make them feel good, and laugh, and help them escape the pressures that life is dumping on them at the time.
For a perfect look inside of Lobster Tales, Life Lessons, and Laughter, check out the website I built for it at http://www.lobstertaleslifelessonsand.... Have Fun!

Hi everyone, I'm Sacha Haughtee and I really was a bikini-model, then a nude model, then a stripper, and then an Escort, all in Orange County California. I NEVER thought that I'd co-author ANY book, least of all a memoir of my early adult years. My favorite client (Max, who really is an Engineer) started to write down all the weird events and humorous outtakes from our meetings, and before long, we had hundreds of pages. This is how our first book came to be. It's called: Escort: The True Story of an Orange County Call GirlHere's my favorite excerpt:
"If only I knew at the time that this day would be the point of no return, that once a girl crosses certain moral and personal boundaries, there's no going back."
Authors: Sacha Haughtee and Max Spacer
Book Genre: Adult Contemporary Romance, Memoir, Erotic, non-fiction, novel-length, true story, dual narrators, sexual self-discovery.
Length: 429 pages in print, approximately 115,000 words.
Notes and disclaimers regarding content: Contains explicit sex scenes, M/F mostly, some M/F/F, adult-themed content and language, prostitution, daddy-complex, and some fetish activities.
XXXOOO,
Sacha Haughtee

During the war, Roscoe served in the Navy, while Gladys stayed at home in Indiana, taking care of the home and children. They wrote to one another every day. This book is the first volume of their letters from 1942.

Hi, I'm Paul Halpern, a physicist and science writer. I've been a Goodreads author for a few years, and greatly enjoy the discussion and reviews on this site. Just letting you know about my new book Einstein's Dice and Schrödinger's Cat: How Two Great Minds Battled Quantum Randomness to Create a Unified Theory of Physics. It is the story of how the two great physicists banded together in a battle against quantum randomness and a quest to find a theory of everything. When Schrödinger thought he had found the ultimate equation he reported his discovery to the press, and an international media fiasco began. The book is available at http://www.amazon.com/Einsteins-Dice-...I'd be glad to answer readers' questions about Einstein, Schrödinger, unification theories, or any topic in physics.
Many thanks,
Paul

Hello everyone,I'm a professional freelance writer and history blogger. My new book is Passionate Crusaders: How Members of the U.S. War Refugee Board Saved Jews and Altered American Foreign Policy during World War II
It tells the story of the members of the War Refugee Board who were responsible for saving the lives of over 100,000 Jews (and many other non-Jews) in 1944. The book shows the frustrations of Board members, particularly since so many Jews had been murdered before President Roosevelt agreed to create the Board. Still, it shows the value of determination in seemingly hopeless circumstances.

Out of the Cage Many people's minds live in cages. People are limited to what they will accept and are stuck in their way of thinking. Seeing what I've seen and overcoming all that I've overcome has allowed me to be more open minded and look at life from different angles. To be "Out of the Cage" means to think freely and openly without being restricted by the status quo. This book contains thirty memoirs about the different demons we have within ourselves and how to deal with them.In this book, I open up about being molested and how it affected my adulthood. I open about how my fears, my pride, my ego, my control issues, and overthinking have held me back from being the woman God designed me to be. I speak on the importance of forgiveness, empathy, and trusting God. I talk about how making mistakes is a necessity for growth. I also talk about the issues with social media, and how it gives people of false sense of themselves. The book is only 10,000 words; It's an eBook only. But I took it upon myself to make an audio version of it with my studio equipment in my apartment. If you purchase the eBook I will email you the audio version for FREE. Here's a list of some of the memoirs.
Mind over matter
Egos in love
You are who you are for a reason
Metamorphosis
Happiness is not one size fits all
Fear keeps oppression alive
Conformity
Fear and Pride paralyzes
Who are you to judge?
The book is $3.50 on Lulu and $2.99 on all other sites. Most sites will let you read the first few memoirs for free.

Hi to all,My name is Tom Payne and I've written a book about job search entitled, "The Path to Job Search Success: A Neuroscientific Approach to Interviewing, Negotiating and Networking." This system is one I've coached thousands of people on and it is producing amazing results in the face of very difficult circumstances. One example: Tess was articulate and smart (an English major and a MBA from the Univ of Chicago), but she had failed in 59 straight interviews. I worked with her and on the 60th interview she got a job offer for $20,000 more than her last job, the one she held 19 months ago.
I have a 10 book giveaway on Goodreads that I invite you to enter. And if you are interested in reading my book and willing to write a review, then please email me and I will send you a copy.
My email is tom@tompayne.com. The link to the giveaway is http://bit.ly/1KZ8zRt
