A reader sent in a tip on In Over Her Head ($24.95 paperback), by Elsie Russell, which I highlighted last August, when she was giving away a copy as a PDF. It's now available for the Kindle and only $1.00. As I've said before, visiting her web site is worth the time, just to see the samples of her paintings.

Book Description
The debut of Penny Bell's's musical composition, featuring the use of mysterious extremely low frequency waves takes a tragic turn when several concert-goers die in their seats during the performance. The once-bright horizons of Penny's career collapse, and she retreats to a dank Soho basement apartment lit only by the glow of computer monitors and electronic displays. There, using herself as a guinea pig, she sets out to unlock the secrets of her beautiful and deadly symphonies. A series of strange coincidences intrude upon her solitary quest. Her neighbor, the erotic performance artist Ula Nova's, disappears after her studio is broken into. And then Ula's charming and damaged young choreographer appears, and sweeps Penny off to Europe to search for the diva, plunging Penny into a seedy and unfamiliar world of jet set artists and international intrigue where the threads of every encounter always seem to lead back to those ELF waves and their pint-sized progenitor.

I want to thank all the publishers and authors who made their books available for free or deeply discounted this week. I've added quite a few to my TBR stack and look forward to trying out several new authors.
