I just heard from the author -- Milrose Munce and the Den of Professional Help is back to a penny in the Kindle store (which I confirmed). Just as that occured, though, he got a note from his publisher in Canada that they were trying to make the book entirely free. Which may mean that it'll become unavailable again for a period of time, as the pricing update works it's way thru the system. For now, though, if you missed it last time (and don't mind paying a penny extra), you can once again get this book on Kindle. It's entirely free in the Sony store and I picked up that version as well. But after fighting with my new Sony reader the last few days, I'll definitely never pick it over the Kindle (in fact, the Sony reader has been "syncing" under 100 books for the last few hours; I thought it was finished, once, but then it decided to do it again; I could have copied the books over myself in less than ten minutes, if I could have bypassed the Sony software).

Web Site Update - Free Books in the Kindle Store
Blogger now supports multiple "pages" on a blog, so I've updated the web site's appearance, re-arranging a few elements and adding a new Navigation Menu (located at the top/left of the web page) that includes a quick link to a new Free Books in the Kindle Store page. So far, I have this page divided only between the older books that are free from Harlequin (no longer the Harlequin 16, as the numbers have dwindled) and the more recent books (27 currently). All chapters and samples have been excluded. Clicking on a book will take you to a product detail page that includes customer reviews (from there you can click to get to the Amazon product page, where the book can be ordered).
Let me know what you think - is this handy and/or useful to you?
Would you prefer to have the books arranged more by category/genre?
I've been considering arranging these by Scifi/Fantasy, Paranormal/Romance, Fiction and Non-Fiction. I don't want too many categories, but I also don't want overlap (a book should be listed only once). It's true there are some Paranormal genre books that are not Romance, but it seems to be very few that fit into that category that have been offered as free downloads. That that are will fit into the SciFi/Fantasy category.
