Christie Craig pre-order for $2.62

Shut Up and Kiss Me ($5.59 Kindle), by Christie Craig, which will be released on May 25, is available to pre-order in the Barnes and Noble store for $2.62.

Book Description
When PR expert Shala Winters gets hired to increase the tourist trade in a Texas town mostly populated by Native Americans, her schemes stir up a storm of trouble-with both the town's commanding lawman and someone after Shala's life!

WELCOME TO PRECIOUS, TEXAS...where fistfights serve as dinner theater and fire ants rain from the sky. The locals are usually very friendly, if a bit eccentric. No pictures please, or you may find yourself a guest of the county morgue.

Photojournalist Shala Winters already had her hands full bringing tourism to this backward, podunk little town, but her job just got tougher. Pictures can say a thousand words, and one of Shala’s is screaming bloody murder. Now she has to entrust a macho, infuriating lawman with her life—but she’ll never trust him with her heart.

Trusted or not, Sky Gomez isn’t about to let a killer get his hands on Shala’s Nikon—or any of her more comely assets, for that matter. Her mouth might move faster than a Piney Woods roadrunner, but all he can think about is how good it must taste…and how she’ll never escape true love.

Free Book - Three Minutes More

Three Minutes More ($2.99 Kindle), by Edward O'Dell, is free, for a limited time, at Smashwords. I don't know how long the "limited time" offer will be valid (his first sale was only an hour and I missed it). So far, the reader reviews at Amazon look good, but it does deal with adult subjects (child abuse and relationships, from what I can tell of the tags it's accumulated). One reviewer mentions that the initial pages appear as if it is going to be a preachy style religion-oriented book, but that turns out to be far from the case.

Book Description
Michael Steven's already troubled young life has taken a sudden, dramatic turn for the worse. Severely injured, he does not know if he will survive the night.

Reflecting on the evening's dreadful events, wondering if he could have done anything to alter them, his thoughts begin to drift. He begins to contemplate his remarkable life, his dysfunctional family, and the unfortunate prospect that he may have to soon answer for his life to God.

While vividly recalling the most amusing, distressing, bizarre, and disturbing events of his life, he soon comes to realize "the monster you know is far easier to deal with than the monster you don't!"

Will he get the miracle he needs to make it through the night? If so, will he finally find peace?

Author's Note: This book deals with sensitive topics, and is intended for mature audiences only.

Hot Rod Magazine for Five Bucks

Barnes and Noble has a five dollar deal on a one-year, (print) subscription to Hot Rod, today only. Like the Amazon deal earlier today, this one is just in time for a nice Father's Day gift and is half the cost of a digital subscription (and with this magazine, the color pictures are much of what you want to see, so I would not want it on an ereader, anyway). A subscription at Amazon is $14, so you aren't quite saving as much as shown in the comparison to the single-issue newsstand price of $71.88, but it is a decent bargain, nonetheless.

Description
Hot Rod is America's leading hot rodding magazine, focusing on high-performance and personalized hot rods, Chevies, and muscle cars.

Field & Stream for Five Bucks

A one-year, automatic renewing subscription to Field & Stream can be picked up for $5.00 this week at Amazon (expires this coming Saturday at 11:59pm). This deal is just in time for a nice Father's Day gift (you can even print or email a gift card). You can easily cancel the auto-renewal using your Subscription Manager at Amazon, a feature I've recently explored - no more dealing with many different magazines on renewals or wondering which offer you received in the mail is really from the magazine and which is an overpriced 3rd party offering (or a new subscription disguised as a renewal, a type of junk mail that seems to be more and more common these days).

Description
America's Number One sportsman's magazine, featuring in-depth articles on hunting, fishing, outdoor adventure, and conservation news. First-class fiction, and more. Field & Stream, editorial excellence for over 100 years.
