Book Description
Jenny Lucas swore she’d never go home again. But being told you’re dying has a way of changing things. Years after she left, she and her five-year-old daughter, Isabella, must return to her sleepy North Carolina town to face the ghosts she left behind. They welcome her in the form of her oxygen tank–toting grandmother, her stoic and distant father, and David, Isabella’s dad . . . who doesn’t yet know he has a daughter. As Jenny navigates the rough and unknown waters of her new reality, the unforgettable story that unfolds is a testament to the power of love and its ability to change everything—to heal old hurts, bring new beginnings . . . even overcome the impossible. A stunning debut about love and loss from a talented new voice.

Book Description
A powerful story of the unprecedented athletic feats and accomplishments of one of the greatest baseball players to ever live . . . and the faith that has made them possible.
After only ten seasons, the St. Louis Cardinals’ Albert Pujols is already one of the greatest players to have ever laced up a pair of spikes. But when adulation and glory come his way, Pujols is quick to credit another—to point people to his hero. “At the end of the day,” he says, “as long as I glorify Him, and those 45,000 people know who I represent … that’s what it’s about. It’s about representing God.” In Pujols: More Than the Game, authors Tim Ellsworth and Scott Lamb will satisfy fans who like their baseball slathered in stats and stories . . . while at the same time, shedding light on the faith that makes it all possible.
Today's free Android App is
OfficeSuite Pro 5, by Mobile Systems, Inc., which normally sells for $14.95. Even though an office suite came on my Android tablet, I'm grabbing this one in anticipation of using it on the Kindle Fire (although the lack of keyboard support on it will limit it's usefulness for some types of documents, I suspect). Looks like it also supports my phone (which does have a keyboard), although it's screen is so small, I don't often edit much more than keeping a shopping list on it. However, just being able to view your MS Office documents and sync with Google docs should prove very useful. If you don't yet have an Android device, you might want to try to borrow one today, so you can add this pgm to your library.

The Dead Man is a new, collaborative, series by Lee Goldberg and and William Rabkin, along with (usually) another author on each volume. The entire series is currently marked down to 99 cents per volume, including one pre-order. These were in the $3 range (and a 3-title omnibus is $8) and the low pricing won't last long. You can read more about the series on the
KindlePost, but you may already know Mr. Goldberg from his Hollywood writing (Mr. Monk), if not his self-published works (
The Walk is one of my favorites). This series is horror/paranormal/thriller, with six books out so far (and it appears there will be twelve, all total).
Face Of Evil (Dead Man #1)
Matt Cahill is a widower leading a quiet, solitary life...cutting wood at a lumber mill in the Pacific Northwest, watching out for his trouble-prone friend Andy, and making his first, tentative attempt at a new romance with Rachel, a co-worker. But a trip with Rachel to a ski resort goes tragically wrong... and he is killed in an avalanche. That should be the end of his story. But for Matt, it's only the beginning, the first step in a horrifying odyssey across a dark world that exists within our own...and where he must confront a violent, supernatural entity that spreads evil among us like a plague...
Ring of Knives (Dead Man #2)
Matt believes an institutionalized madman may hold the secret to defeating Mr. Dark, the horrific jester with the rotting touch who has tormented him ever since his miraculous resurrection. So he infiltrates a lunatic asylum, where is swept up in a spiral of bloodshed and insanity, all stoked by supernatural forces that he's never faced before....and that might just drive him to madness. His only chance of escaping with his life and sanity intact is to face the unspeakable terror that awaits him deep in the asylum's fog-shrouded woods...and within the Ring of Knives.
Hell In Heaven (Dead Man #1)
The sign on the exit reads "Heaven." What better place could there be for a dead man to visit? But when Matt takes the ramp, he finds a banner welcoming him by name to a tiny town that has seemingly been left behind by the 21st century...and is in the grip of an unspeakable horror. Cast as an unwilling savior, Matt comes to their rescue, but soon discovers that evil has more lethal forms than he ever imagined...and that they can't all be defeated with courage and an expertly-wielded ax.
The Dead Woman (Dead Man #4)
Matt thought he was alone with his torment, that he was the only one who could see the evil in people’s souls as rotting flesh. But in a small town in Tennessee, terrorized by a vicious serial killer, Matt meets a woman who may see the same dark world that what he does…and who may be able to reveal the secrets behind to his mysterious rebirth. But Mr. Dark, the depraved, immortal enemy that Matt has chased across the country, is here too and determined to stop him before he can find what he seeks.
The Blood Mesa (Dead Man #5)
Matt signs on as a laborer for a group of archeologists and graduate students unearthing Native American ruins in a desolate corner of New Mexico. But the dig atop a blood-red mesa uncovers more than artifacts, awakening an ancient evil with an insatiable hunger for human flesh. Now Matt, armed only with his trusty ax, must protect a handful of terrified innocents from imminent slaughter...and battle a horror so powerful, it once wiped out an entire civilization... and could do it again.
Kill Them All (Dead Man #6)
When Matt wanders into a struggling Nevada tourist trap recreation of an "old west" town, he's unaware that he’s being trailed by a Special Ops team of professional mercenaries hired by a University desperate to unlock the secret behind his resurrection...and that he's put everyone around him in dire jeopardy. The mercenaries have no intention of letting Matt escape...or letting any witnesses survive. Matt finds himself in a deadly bind. Somehow he must rally the peaceful citizens into defending themselves against the sadistic, well-armed mercenaries… or sacrifice himself to save them from certain death.
