10 cent Android Apps & Comics Sale

It's the last day of the 10 cent apps in the Android Market. Six of today's (12) choices are also 10 cents at Amazon, with only Majesty: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim in both stores, but still full price at Amazon. This last title was a Free App of the Day back in April and still might fall in price before midnight.

These are the titles that you can pick up in the Amazon Appstore for $0.10:
  • Puffle Launch, by Disney
  • Sentinel 3: Homeworld, by Origin8 Technologies Ltd.
  • Hyper Jump, by Camel Games
  • Color & Draw for kids: Phone Edition, by Tipitap (also works on tablets, but not the KFire)
  • Star Chart, by Escapist Games Limited
  • Camera ZOOM FX, by Androidslide, is not currently compatible with KFire and the Android version has numerous effects packs for free download that are not in the Amazon store. But, for 20 cents total, I just bought both - I get all the effects now on my tablet and hopefully the app will be updated at Amazon to work with the KFire later on.
comiXology is having a sale on DC Comics' Fell comics series. You use the free app, Comics, by comiXology, to view these comics, which are priced at 99 cents per volume. I don't see them at all on the Kindle or in the Amazon Appstore and in paperback they are either out of print or over $10 per volume. Once you pick up the app, they have several free comics you can try out, before committing to buying any -- but the sale on this series ends today, so act fast.

Free Book (Kindle/nook/EPUB) - Red Suit Diaries

Red Suit Diaries, The: A Real-Life Santa on Hopes, Dreams, and Childlike Faith, by Ed Butchart, is free in the Kindle store and from Barnes & Noble and ChristianBook.
Book Description
Tom Brokaw said it best about the author: This Santa "can only be described as the real thing." With warmth, humor, and wonder, Ed Butchart shares his stories as a professional Santa Claus in The Red Suit Diaries.

Deftly combining his Santa persona with his passion for God, Butchart reveals himself as a once-hardened Marine who found Jesus and began to serve others in unusual ways. Readers who open The Red Suit Diaries will find themselves transfixed-from Santa's day job refurbishing medical equipment for the disabled, to the sweetest of secrets whispered in Santa's ear and written in letters, and the story of how he unknowingly found "Mrs. Claus."

Woven throughout is a faith-and a joy of giving-that energizes Butchart's mission to spread love to all kinds of children and adults. This fun-spirited, inspirational read will delight collectors of Christmas books and anyone who's a child at heart.

Free Book (Kindle/nook/EPUB) - Becoming Your Spouse's Better Half

Becoming Your Spouse's Better Half: Why Differences Make a Marriage Great, by Rick Johnson, is free in the Kindle store and from Barnes & Noble and ChristianBook.
Book Description
It's no secret that men and women are different. And it's no secret that they don't always get along because of these differences, even when they love each other. But having a successful marriage is not about finding the perfect person to marry. It's about loving someone in an unselfish, Christlike manner. Whatever we want out of marriage--unconditional love, forgiveness, passion--that is what we have to give to our spouse. Rick Johnson shows couples how to go beyond merely tolerating each other's differences to using those God-given differences to add spice and passion to their relationship.

Free Book (Kindle/nook) - That Voodoo You Do

That Voodoo You Do, the first title in the That Old Black Magic series by Jodi Redford, is free in the Kindle store and from Barnes & Noble. This one is from Samhain, so comes with a content warning!
Book Description
For ten long years Griffin Trudeau has managed to keep his paws off Jemma Finnegan, best friend and leading star of his kinkiest fantasies. As her appointed cat familiar, indulging those fantasies with the delectable witch is strictly forbidden. But when Jemma shows up at his door with seduction in mind, control goes right out the window.

Too late he realizes making love to Jemma is the trigger that launches a zombie apocalypse.

Jemma’s been dealt a double whammy: she’s just discovered she’s a witch. And Griff has been hiding whiskers and a tail. Oh, and if her life wasn’t crazy enough, a dead voodoo queen needs her blood to raise a legion of zombies.

There’s one plan that might work to increase Jemma’s powers so she can put an end to the looming holocaust. A sexy threesome with Griff and Logan Scott, a werewolf familiar with a history of rubbing Griff’s fur the wrong way. A cat and a wolf playing nice, much less sharing? It’ll take a miracle.

Warning: A witch, tiger and wolf doing naughty things. A dead voodoo queen doing evil things. And zombies doing zombie things. Get your shovels ready.
