Free Book - Dead Angler (K)

Dead Angler, the first title in the Loon Lake Fishing Mystery series by Victoria Houston, is a repeat freebie in the Kindle store.
Book Description
Retired dentist Paul Osborne hasn’t fly fished since his wife died. He hasn’t had a woman tell him what to do since then either. But in the company of Lewellyn Ferris, he’s relearning both. And when he and his lady instructor find a well-dressed body floating in the moonlight, Paul adds deputy to his list of experiences...Whether the death is accidental -- or accidentally on purpose -- Lewellyn is determined to rell in the truth. She enlists Pail and his walleye-expert buddy, Ray, to help her get to the bottom of the murky mystery. Whoever thought small-town retirement could be this dangerous?

Get $2 Off an MP3 Classical Crossover Album (KSO)

This offer is only for those with a Kindle with Special Offers.

Get $2 Off an MP3 Classical Crossover Album

To take advantage of this offer:
  1. First, turn on your Kindle with Special Offers, click Menu, then View Special Offers.
  2. Find the offer: Get $2 Off an MP3 Classical Crossover Album. Click on it, then on the link to Email Me This Offer.
  3. You will get an email from Amazon with your promotional code, right away.
  4. Once you have the promotion code (and have selected your album; see below), click this link, then on the button labeled Enter Your Code, at any time up to the expiration date of March 4, 2012.
  5. Enter your code and follow the directions.
  6. Choose any of these albums and you'll get $2 off
You'll have a promotion code on your account that will apply to the FIRST album you buy (from the list) after that. Current prices range from $3.99 to nearly $18, but those can change at any time (so, if one you want is $5 or less, I'd grab it now; if over $10, I'd wait to see if it drops in price). You should save the code and not enter it until you are ready to buy an album (I find this helps me remember if I've used a code - when I go to apply it, if it isn't accepted, I know I've used that offer).

To recap: you must claim the offer by Feb 4 and must do so from your Kindle with Special Offers. You'll get a promotion code via email and you have until March 4, 2012, to enter and redeem the code. Once you enter it, it will work on the next album from the list that you purchase.

Comments

OK, who else had started to think we weren't ever getting another Special Offer? Other than the annoying AmazonEverywhere ads (at least, on mine they weren't "local", since I had four pages of ads for offers good in one city or another across the country, none of which were even within a day's driving distance). This isn't the best offer I've seen (groceries were my biggest money saver, so far), but I'm glad to see offers starting to show up again. I do see that a $1 romance book offer is on it's way (I would imagine that it will show up by Feb 14 at the latest).

There are 50 albums to choose from, including one I nearly bought yesterday, so this code should come in handy, for me.

Free Book - Creating an Intimate Marriage (K/N)

Creating an Intimate Marriage: Rekindle Romance Through Affection, Warmth and Encouragement, by Jim Burns, is free in the Kindle store and from Barnes & Noble, courtesy of Christian publisher Bethany House.
Book Description
A Marriage Full of A.W.E. If you think intimacy in marriage is an impossible goal, think again. Even if your relationship is the high maintenance variety, you can still find that meaningful connection you are seeking by cultivating three important ingredients in your relationship: Affection, Warmth, and Encouragement--AWE. Sharing personal stories of both success and failure, Jim Burns' candid and vulnerable style will encourage you to work toward rekindling the fires of your romance, no matter how chilly the coals may have grown. Important areas discussed include communication, sexuality, friendship, forgiveness, worship, attitudes, and priorities. This is not a pie-in-the-sky approach to marriage. The challenges of everyday life with a spouse are faced head-on by someone who has not only experienced them himself but also coached hundreds of other couples and individuals in their struggles. The practical help he offers will equip you to tackle the real-life issues of marriage and find true and lasting intimacy with your spouse. Each chapter includes helpful follow-up exercises and questions for personal reflection.
