For those that enjoy the artist's contributions for the Google mainpage, apparently today is Origami day (complete with butterflies).
Over at Google Play, today's free song is I Only Want To Be Alone by James Mccartney. They also have a web page set up for the South by Southwest (SXSW) music festival, with a number of free songs by different artists. I checked a few of them against the free ones from Amazon and most of them didn't overlap, so you might want to pick them up from Google; at least one is on the new free sampler at Amazon, though.
Child Bride ($0.99), the first novel in the Stealth Commandos Trilogy series by Suzanne Forster, is today's Kindle Deal of the Day. This is a reprint edition from Open Road, so the formatting should be good (and you know it's a good author).Book Description
Annie Wells travels to dusty Wyoming in search of bounty hunter Chase Beaudine, the man who saved her life—and whom she hasn’t seen since the night they were married five years ago
The first in Suzanne Forster’s Stealth Commandos trilogy, Child Bride recounts bounty hunter Chase Beaudine’s reunion with Annie Wells, a red-haired and cream-complexioned beauty from his past. When the two cross paths on the dusty steppes of Wyoming, “I’m your wife,” is not what Chase expects her to say by way of greeting.
Though Chase has no recollection of Annie and their alleged marriage, her story contains undeniable truths. When she collapses from heatstroke, he has no choice but to bring her back to his cabin. As Annie lies unconscious, Chase can’t deny his swiftly mounting desire, watching her pillowy breasts undulate in rhythm with her shortened breaths. Despite her innocence and inexperience, Annie is determined to jog his memory no matter what it takes.
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Suzanne Forster including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.
Super Sad True Love Story ($1.55 / £0.99 UK), by Gary Shteyngart, is the Kindle Deal of the day for those in the UK (the US edition is $9.99).Book Description
In a very near future, a functionally illiterate America is about to collapse. But don’t tell that to poor Lenny Abramov, proud author of what may well be the world’s last diary. Despite his job at an outfit called ‘Post-Human Services’, which attempts to provide immortality for its super-rich clientele, death is clearly stalking this cholesterol-rich morsel of a man. And why shouldn’t it? Lenny’s from a different century. He TOTALLY loves books (or ‘printed, bound media artifacts’ as they’re now known), even though most of his peers find them smelly and annoying. But even more than books, Lenny loves Eunice Park, an impossibly cute and impossibly cruel twenty-four-year-old Korean-American woman who just graduated from Elderbird College with a major in ‘Images’ and a minor in ‘Assertiveness’. When riots break out in New York’s Central Park, the city’s streets are lined with National Guard tanks and patient Chinese creditors look ready to foreclose on the whole mess, Lenny vows to convince his fickle new love that in a time without standards or stability, there is still value in being a real human being.
