Free Book - My Love Lies Bleeding (Hearts at Stake)

My Love Lies Bleeding (not available in US), by Alyxandra Harvey, is the UK title of Hearts at Stake ($7.79 Kindle) and is free, today only, as a PDF download from the UK publisher Bloomsbury (as far as I can tell, only the cover is different between the two).  This is a young adult/children's book and the book is being offered to celebrate the release of Blood Feud ($7.99 Kindle), the second book in the The Drake Chronicles series.

Note that they are five hours ahead of the east coast, so the deadline to download is 7PM EST.

Book Description
The Drakes are rather different to your usual neighbours. They are vampires and some of the members of the family date back to the twelfth century. One of the children, Solange, is the only born female vampire known and, as such, she poses a direct threat to the vampire queen. Her best friend Lucy is human, and when Solange is kidnapped Lucy and Solange's brother, Nicholas, set out to save her. Lucy soon discovers that she would like to be more than just friends with Nicholas. But how does one go about dating a vampire? Meanwhile, Solange finds an unlikely ally in Kieran, a vampire slayer on the hunt for his father's killer . . .

Free Book - The Wicked House of Rohan

The Wicked House of Rohan ($2.39 Kindle), by Anne Stuart, is free today direct from Harlequin and in the Barnes & Noble ebookstore. This appears to be a very short prequel to the upcoming House of Rohan trilogy.

Book Description
A fallen woman. A most wicked plan for redemption.

Venice, 1740.

Desperate, starving, Kathleen Strong makes her way to a job interview that promises a chance at proper employment...and maybe a bite to eat. Accused of "gross immorality," she's adrift after being dismissed from her governess position, despite being entirely innocent.

That innocence is precisely what a mysterious group of debauched aristocrats finds so alluring about Miss Strong. When they propose a scandalous offer that she can't refuse...she can't refuse. But if the darkly gallant Alistair Rohan, a gentleman involved in all manner of wicked deeds himself, has anything to say about it, Kathleen can escape her disrepute in another way.

Of course, the escape route looks very similar to the group's illicit proposition itself...

Who's Buried in Grant's Tomb

Who's Buried in Grant's Tomb, by Brian Lamb, is $2.43 on Kindle today.

Book Description
C-SPAN's unique guide to the final resting places of the nation's presidents.

Some presidents have been larger than life but none of them have been larger than death. Brian Lamb has visited the gravesites of every American president, living and dead, in order to put together this book, with assistance from the staff of C-SPAN. Heavily illustrated and with contributions from historians Richard Norton Smith and Douglas Brinkley, Who's Buried in Grant's Tomb? is about the presidents' lives as much as it is about their final resting places. The book's collection of the presidents' last words, from Franklin Delano Roosevelt's "I have a terrific headache" to John Adams's "Thomas Jefferson still survives" offers a poignant and sometimes humorous look at the last moments of the great men. This is a great way to encounter the presidents, from the great ones to the near-forgottens. Who's Buried in Grant's Tomb? belongs in the glove box of every traveler and the bedside table of every fan of the American presidency and American history.

Happy Defiance Day!

As a Fourth of July special, Amazon has Ted Nugent's version of Star Spangled Banner as a free download today and his Happy Defiance Day Everyday double album is only 76 cents! Ted's music definitely isn't for everyone (and can be quite explicit), but if there's even one song there you like, this is a good deal.

If Ted isn't your cup of tea, there are a number of other, more traditional versions of The Star Spangled Banner available, in case you need a little background music while you celebrate the nation's birthday, today. However you celebrate, have a safe Fourth of July!

Free Audiobook - The Pursuit of God

A.W. Tozer's The Pursuit of God ($0.95+ Kindle), narrated by Grover Gardner, is this month's free audiobook at ChristianAudio.

During a train trip from Chicago to Texas in the late 1940's, A.W. Tozer began to write The Pursuit Of God. He wrote all night, the words coming to him as fast as he could put them down. When the train pulled into McAllen, the rough draft was done. Although written in such a remarkably short period of time, Tozer's passionate classic offers not only a deeper understanding of Biblical Truth, but a personal encounter with the very Source of that Truth.
