Blood Man (
$0.99), by Paul Cleave [Simon and Schuster].
Book Description
Edward Hunter has it all—a beautiful wife and daughter, a great job, a bright future…and a very dark past. Twenty years ago, New Zealand’s first serial killer was caught, convicted, and locked away in the country’s most hellish of penitentiaries. That man was Edward’s father. Edward has struggled his entire life to put the nightmares of his childhood behind him. But a week before Christmas, violence once again makes an unwelcome appearance into his world. Suddenly he’s going to need the help of his father, a man he hasn’t seen since he was a boy. Is Edward destined to be just like him, to become a man of blood?
Blood Men is “relentlessly gripping, deliciously twisted, and shot through with a vein of humor that’s as dark as hell” (Mark Billingham). A true master of the genre that only comes along once in a generation, Cleave unveils a brutally vivid picture of a killer’s mind and of a city of fallen angels captured at the ends of the earth.

Dragonsbane (
$1.99), the first novel in Barbara Hambly's
Winterlands series [Open Road], with the
companion audiobook $3.49.
Book Description
An idealistic young prince convinces an aging warrior and a struggling witch to help him kill the dragon that is terrorizing his kingdom
As a vicious dragon stalks the Southlands, Crown Prince Gareth ventures to the forbidding North in search of the only man who can kill it. He is Lord Aversin, the Dragonsbane, whose dragon-slaying days have won him renown across the land. But when Gareth finds Lord Aversin, he discovers the mighty hero is squat and bespectacled, the ruler of a mud-village who admits that he killed the dragon not with a lance, but with ignoble poison. Still, he’ll have to do.
Gareth and Aversin set off in company with Jenny Waynest, a witch with great ambitions but disappointingly puny powers—a ragtag crew destined to become legendary, or die in the attempt.
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Barbara Hambly, including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author’s personal collection.

Book Description
This is a big, general, American cookbook emphasizing sustainibility and self-sufficiency. It celebrates the vital craft of cooking with an eclectic repetorie of more than 600 recipes for foods in all categories from salads to baking. Deep Springs College and Ranch serves as the frame for this all-purpose cookbook. As Joy of Cooking is rooted in the Germanic spirit of the Rombauer/Becker family, all the recipes in Deep Springs are all from the chowhouse at Deep Springs College, a prestigious and unique ranch/two-year college program in the Sierra Nevadas that teaches liberal arts; democratic culinary principles; and sustainable farming and ranching. Over 600 basic recipes, from butter to pies to homemade soap. A percentage of the recipes have a Southwestern flavor profile (enchiladas, chilis) due to the location of the college in the Southwest US. For all skill levels. Includes instructions on such 'chores' as washing dishes.
