The Conqueror

Georgette Heyer's The Conqueror, originally published in 1966, is currently marked down to ($3.18) in the Kindle store. Despite their age, the majority of her books are selling in the $9-$10 range (there are a couple at $5.99), other than one other novel, The Black Moth ($0.99), which I suspect is in the public domain due to both it's price and the presence of a second edition at $1.99.

Book Description
William the Bastard, base-born son of the Duke of Normandy, must fight the King of France to regain his Duchy. Spurned in love by the Princess Matilda, the fighting Duke dares to take a whip to her in her own father’s palace, before making her his bride. William the Conqueror sails to England to claim the Saxon King’s crown and sceptre for his own.

12 Days of Free Romance - Day 9

It's the ninth day of All Romance's 12 Days of Christmas giveaways:

In The Arms of Danger, by Jaydyn Chelcee, is book one of her Montana Men series. The price shows as $5.95, but when you click on Buy Now, you should see the discount for the 12 Days of Christmas sale. This one is in PDF format only. UPDATE: This is now available in PDF and EPUB and the discount is still working.

This one has a "heat index" of 3 and is romantic suspense in genre.

Book Description
Every woman needs a little danger in her life, but what's perilous about a wildlife shoot in the beautiful Montana wilderness? Armed with only a camera, Lacey Weston treks through the rough terrain and captures more on film than she bargains for-the murder of another young woman.

Fearing for her life, Lacey flees the scene and stumbles straight into the path of a man who strongly resembles the murderer. Sheriff Danger Blackstone, with his piercing gray eyes and rugged physique, could be the man in her undeveloped pictures.

With nowhere else to run and hide, Lacey must decide if she dares to trust her life to the only person who can protect her, one whose apparent grudge against Anglo females makes him less than approachable-the very man she suspects of murder.

This suspenseful romance-packed with action, hard-bodied cowboys and long, hot nights-gives a whole new meaning to the Wild West.

A Creed Country Christmas

A Creed Country Christmas ($9.15 Kindle), by Linda Lael Miller, is available for half price at Kobo books, for today only; normally $9.99, so $5.00. However, the only formats I see are Web (read one chapter at a time in their flash viewer) and Mobile (if you have a compatible device; I've never tried this format, there). No EPUB for the Sony or nook and no Kindle compatible formats.

Book Description
Celebrate the holidays with the Creed forefathers--Montana men who built the family homestead and established a legacy of love... In the unforgiving Montana wilderness of 1910, widowed rancher Lincoln Creed is up against more than rustlers, wolves and the coming winter storms. His young daughter has needs beyond the beans and bacon he can barely cook. Lincoln must find little Gracie a governess, a lady who can teach and cook--yet won't set her sights on him. Disowned for her refusal to marry, twenty-five-year-old Juliana Mitchell shares the love in her heart with her young students at the underfunded Indian school. When she meets Lincoln and Gracie, her response to the handsome rancher makes her realize she's not against marriage after all. She longs to help, yet the two orphaned brothers in her care need her. But in the season for miracles, Providence just might find a way to bring Juliana, the boys and the Creed family together for Christmas Eve....

Going Rogue - ASIN Change Alert!

A reader commented that not only was the ASIN no longer valid for her order of Under the Dome, by Stephen King (December 24, 2009), but her order for Going Rogue: An American Life, by Sarah Palin (December 26, 2009), had an invalid ASIN as well. I had noted the problem with Going Rogue in this earlier post, but didn't stop to think that people who ordered this title might not read the post about Ed Kennedy's memoir.

So, if you pre-ordered this one, check your ASIN for it, as well. If you go the $7.20 price, you'll have to make a decision as to whether you want to re-order at the current $7.99 price, but I'd recommend that everyone else do so, if the ASIN is still valid. To do this, first click on the Manage My Kindle page, then locate your order, under the "Open Orders" banner. Click on the link that says "View details" and then on the link for the book itself. If it shows the book info page, you are all set. If not, then you can cancel the book from the "View details" page and then click on the link above to find the new listing and order it again. In fact, you can put the order in even before you cancel the old one (but do remember to cancel), since Amazon doesn't see these as being for the same book.
