Free Book (Sony) - Where 45 Ends

Where 45 Ends ($9.99 Kindle), by E. Marie Aldrich-Creasy, is free in the Sony ebookstore.

Book Description
Penning down over two hundred fifty poems, the author opens the windows to her soul through lyrical verse that displays immense emotional power. Each piece in this collection is carved by the emotions of a young woman with whom many others can relate. She vividly captures different events and ideas that a person has to encounter in the journey of life.

The poem “Through It All” is a powerful reminiscence of past hardship and trials. Written in a whimsical yet edifying tone, “What to Say” tells of an unknown story of girls known as bartenders and waitresses. “Back of the Truck” relives the good old days of 1972 racing life, and “Country in Music” expresses how people should return to God and bring hope, faith, and belief back to the rhythm of everyday life. By reading her poem “I Want To Say”, you’ll know where her heart is.

An eloquent delivery of Aldrich-Creasy's philosophies, Where 45 Ends collects pieces of the heart. It is a highly entertaining and inspiring read for readers of any age and life situation.

Free Book (Sony) - The Adventures of Button

The Adventures of Button ($9.99 Kindle), by Richard W. Leech, is free in the Sony ebookstore.

Book Description
With Buttons, the adventures—and misadventures—never end…

Buttons has her way with everything around her. She is indeed an extraordinary Scottish terrier dearly loved and enjoyed by all—even the dangerous or maddest of creatures are enthralled and captivated by the young Buttons.

Free Book - The Shop on Blossom Street

The Shop on Blossom Street ($5.76 Kindle), by Debbie Macomber, is free in the Sony ebookstore (and more, see below) this morning. The first in the Blossom Street series, this looks like a promotion in conjunction with the release today of the seventh volume, Hannah's List ($9.99 Kindle), so I would not be surprised if this one ended up free in the Kindle store. In the meantime, I picked up the Sony version, which I can always read on my PC.

Book Description
There's a little yarn store in Seattle.

It's owned by Lydia Hoffman, and it represents her dream of a new life free from cancer. A life that offers a chance at love...

Lydia teaches knitting to beginners, and the first class is "How to Make a Baby Blanket." Three women join. Jacqueline Donovan wants to knit something for her grandchild as a gesture of reconciliation with her daughter-in-law. Carol Girard feels that the baby blanket is a message of hope as she makes a final attempt to conceive. And Alix Townsend is knitting her blanket for a court-ordered community service project.

These four very different women, brought together by an age-old craft, make unexpected discoveries--about themselves and each other. Discoveries that lead to friendship and more...


As always with Sony titles, you'll need to open the Reader Library software and search for it in the bookstore.

Update: This book is also free at Barnes & Noble and at All Romance Ebooks, where it is is in many formats: Adobe Acrobat, Palm DOC/iSolo, Microsoft Reader, HTML, Mobipocket, Epub. Which means it'll work on your Kindle and pretty much any other reader out there, with a bit of work. The EPUB and LIT (MS Reader) versions are both DRM free (the mobipocket version claims to have DRM, so I haven't opened it), so are easily converted using Calibre to any other format desired.

Free Book (Sony/nook) - Savior

Star Wars: Lost Tribe of the Sith #4: Savior ($0.80 Kindle), by John Jackson Miller, is free in both the Sony and Barnes & Noble ebookstores today. Since the original intention was for the entire series to be published as free, I suspect the Kindle version will drop as well within a few days.

Book Description
Twenty-five years ago the survivors of the marooned Sith ship Omen bloodlessly conquered the native population of the remote planet Kesh, installing themselves as overlords and transforming the primitive Keshiri civilization into a new Sith society. Letting nothing stand in his way-including his own brother-s life-Omen commander-turned-Grand Lord Yaru Korsin has ruled unopposed ever since. But now his days, and those of the ruthless Sith order on Kesh, may be numbered.Revolt-and revenge-have been brewing in the hearts of the two women closest to Korsin. One is Adari Vaal, the once-outcast Keshiri who rescued the stranded Sith, aided their domination of Kesh, and now leads the secret resistance against them. The other is Seelah, wife of Korsin, widow of his murdered brother, and mastermind of the plot to assassinate the Grand Lord and seize power. But have the comforts of a king and his own arrogance blunted Korsin-s cunning Sith instincts? Or is he ready to deal swiftly and mercilessly with treachery from any quarter? Enemies themselves, Adari and Seelah are unaware of each other-s destiny-altering gambits. They only know that there can be no turning back-and no escaping the consequences if they fail.
