My Christian thriller "Prophets and Loss," first in the Johnny Ravine private detective series, is free April 11th and 12th at the Amazon Kindle store. http://www.amazon.com/Prophets-Johnny...
To celebrate Spring--the time of rebirth--for three days (April 12-14), I’m giving away free Kindle copy's of my political/thriller, THE ESSENE CONSPIRACY. http://www.amazon.com/THE-ESSENE-CONS...Writers Digest
The Essene Conspiracy is a fascinating crime/political thriller. The writer brings together characters from Wall Street to Jerusalem, showing
his extensive knowledge of cultures, languages, and historical and contemporary political events. The titular conspiracy unravels nicely in the novel. McClure begins the novel with two cases that gradually become intertwined. Short chapters, shifting perspectives , and lean prose help make the plot move along at a good pace while the reader remains engaged in finding out more with each revelation McClure makes. . .
Sounds exciting! I'll make sure I grab a copy. I haven't read a good thriller in quite a while so I'm looking forward to it.
Help, please! Free e-book in exchange. My book is available for free for the Kindle on Smashwords with coupon code WH66Q, but some readers are reporting that they can't open the file.https://www.smashwords.com/books/view...
Would anyone be willing to download the book and let me know if you have any problems? You can email me directly at diane@blackoilredblood.com. If the Smashwords download doesn't work for you, just email me and I'll still send you the book for free.
It's a thriller called Black Oil, Red Blood.
Summary:
The thing about cancer is it’s hard to prove somebody gave it to you on purpose—but Chloe Taylor can prove it. In fact, she proves it for a living. She sues oil refineries that would rather save a buck than comply with safety regulations designed to do important things like, you know, keep people alive.
Chloe had a successful career until circumstances forced her to move to the bass-ackwards town of Kettle, Texas (human population: 4,000; gun population: 34,356). Big Oil industry giant PetroPlex employs half of Kettle’s population, and there’s no question the judge in the town’s got oil stains on his hands. It’s no wonder she’s been on a losing streak lately. She suspects she’s been litigating on an uneven playing field, but when her star expert witness turns up dead less than 48 hours before a make-or break hearing, she knows.
What she doesn’t know is the key piece of information that got her expert killed. It turns out PetroPlex is harboring a shocking secret—one that has the potential to skyrocket gasoline prices, spark an energy market meltdown, and trigger riots, chaos, death, and destruction on a global scale. Chloe must discover the secret and expose the villains before she is permanently silenced, all while juggling a troublesome ex-fiancé and a tantalizing new flame along the way.
THANK YOU in advance!
My fantasy/pseudoscience novel, The Five Elements, is free today.Here's the Amazon link:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASI...
And here's what it's about:
Aaron--scholar, alchemist, and sorcerer's apprentice--wants nothing more than to study his tomes, perform his experiments, and spend time with his closest friend, Shanna. Substitute the occasional romp about the city for the books and plenty of games of crutchit for the smelly alchemicals, and Shanna is just fine with that, too.
Their routines--and their lives--are thrown into chaos when an elemental attack is launched against their home. Aaron thinks Shanna killed, while Aaron himself is forced to flee for his life. For Shanna, who survives that fateful night, the greatest adventure of her life is about to begin. Only the worst of nightmares awaits Aaron: pursued by dwarves, hell hounds, and a demon who will not stop until he is dead, the only thing keeping him alive is his own resourcefulness and an eslar mercenary whose reputation as a killer might make him the worst threat of all.
Though Aaron and Shanna travel different paths, their purpose is joined when they individually learn of the mysterious Fifth Element. Shanna sees it as the final piece in the puzzle that is her destiny. To Aaron's logical mind, it is an impossible ambiguity. Whatever the answer, the Fifth Element draws them back together and into a final confrontation not as allies, but as adversaries.

Hi everyone on Goodreads....I am, until April 20th giving away a free E-copy of my book Castigate My Sins. If you would like a pdf copy please email me at: Eliciabooks@gmail.com and I will send you out a copy.Info on book:
The amalgam of static, crackling, and brief moments of dead air prevented Michael from clearly hearing the desperate plea being spoken by his friend Beth. Gun, the only word audible, set off an arduous, seemingly circular journey of confusion and half-truths which have governed their entire lives. At 2:30 a.m. late June 2005, the teenagers finally reach their breaking point. In an attempt to escape and find the truth, they come face to face with their own demise. The corruption and lies seem to become tactile entities with the power to shift human consciousness and control the very nature of what is and is not.
Our story begins when their lives end. One question remains; will any surrender to the ever growing deceptions or will they escape the void of light and breathe life once again?

Nurse and avid backpacker Aimee Donovan is offered the opportunity of a lifetime. She encounters a patient who tells her he can send her two hundred years into the past to spend three months in the rugged Yellowstone wilderness at the dawn of the mountain man era. The only requirement: she cannot tell anyone that she’s from the future.
How did a white woman suddenly appear in the remote Rocky Mountain wilderness? Trapper Daniel Osborne’s first instinct is to protect this mysterious and unconventional woman from the harsh realities of his mountains. While he fights his growing attraction to her, he is left frustrated by her lies and secrecy.
Daniel shows Aimee a side of Yellowstone she’s never experienced. She is torn between her feelings for him, and exposing a secret that will destroy everything he holds as truth. As her three months come to an end, she is faced with a dilemma: return to her own time, or stay with the man who opened her eyes to a whole new world. When the decision is made for her, both their lives will be changed forever.

I posted an unofficial eBook Give-Away over in the Sword and Laser forum. Feel free to hop over and check it out for a chance to win a free copy of Fantasti*Conhttp://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/8...
"Four days of costumes, celebrities, and geeky fun. What could possibly go wrong?"
Fantasti*Con is the Midwest's largest convention of science fiction, fantasy and pop culture, and the highlight of Allison Cavanaugh's summer. Only this year she finds a dark cloud over her weekend of geeky fun: a stalker. What begins as enigmatic notes quickly escalates to threats upon her. But how do you find a madman at a convention, and how do you still manage to not scare away that new guy in the next apartment while doing it?
The weekend should be about fan-girling out at celebrities, wearing fun costumes, getting the inside scoop on the latest games and introducing her best friend Tori to the world of geek culture. Instead they, along with a hyperactive undergraduate student Joanna, are trying to find out who wants to hurt Allison before it's too late.
Set against the back drop of a major convention, Fanasti*Con is a romantic thriller with scenes and vignettes familiar to any attendee. From the costumes to the celeb's, this could be any con-goer's weekend of horror.

The City of Refuge
http://www.amazon.com/The-City-of-Ref...
It was once the glory of Akhenaten's reign, called 'The Horizon of the Aten'. Now the imperial city of Amarna lies wrecked, abandoned and accursed, dreaming in the darkness on the edge of the Nile.
Police Commander Khonsu has never believed in curses, but he can't deny his own foreboding when he learns that the city's stone quarries are to be reopened at Pharaoh's command by a delegation from the great temple of Ptah at Memphis, headed by Lord Nebamun, its second-ranking priest, a man without a past who is not afraid of ghosts, curses or the dead.
As commander of the provincial police force assigned to guard the expedition, Khonsu accompanies the enigmatic Nebamun to the ruined city, where he finds himself entangled in a drifting web of betrayal, murder and revenge that has its deepest roots in the shadows of the city's heresy-tainted past.
THE CITY OF REFUGE is a story of hidden treasure, revenge and murder and one man's discovery that the paths of righteousness may lie through peril, but they will always bring you home.

Hi Everyone,5 print copies of my book Spontaneous Combustion: Enlightenment and the Cosmic Crucible are up for grabs in the Goodreads Giveaway.
http://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho...
Also!!
Free PDF's for everyone at my website: http://spontaneouscombustionbook.com/...
Ancient Mysteries ~ Bible Prophecy ~ Esoteric Truths Revealed.
Shattering the dogmatic interpretations long held by the “churches,” the author has revisited many of the Bible’s mysteries, and now presents the esoteric truths contained within.
Drawing from the study of sacred texts, religious myth and symbols, from the study of metaphysics, psychology, and various occult teachings of the mystery schools, the author has presented a solid case for what he declares to be the true message of the ancients.
An intentionally non-religious work, though dealing with core issues of religion and spirituality, Spontaneous Combustion: Enlightenment and the Cosmic Crucible proves to be both Unique and Profound.
