A interesting freebie with a main character our friends in OZ should recognize.

BY EASTERN WINDOWS : (Book 1 in The Macquarie Series) by Gretta Curran Browne

Not a freebie or a deal, but I spotted this on my GR feeds today. Diana Norman's very HTF The Vizard Maskis now on Kindle. Woohoo!
At home with a good book and the cat...
...is the only place I want to be

Not HF, but a great read, Barbara Kingsolver's Animal, Vegetable, Miracle is $1.99 for most e-readers today in honor of Earth Day.
Currently reading Cocaine Blues.

[quote=""Misfit""]Melanie Clegg's Minette is on special today.$.99 US, and from her blog it's similarly priced at AZ UK.[/quote]

Why is it that when I click the 'see inside' the book I only get to see the front cover? I used to be able to read at least part of the first chapter? Odd, very odd!

The first two chapters show on that book for me, and a snippet of the third.

The Winter Palace: A Novel of Catherine the Great by Eva Stachniak - $1.99

Must... stop... buying... bargains! My to-read list is getting ridiculously long.

I see the same as Mythica - first two chapters and a bit of the third. And I'm viewing that on Amazon.com from the UK, not signed in. Weird!

Blood Royal by Diana Norman has also made it to Kindle! I'm hoping The Pirate Queen comes out too as I think that is the only one I don't have!

I have been told by my USA publisher that The Greatest Knight will be a Kindle Daily Deal on May 2nd.
Les proz e les vassals
Souvent entre piez de chevals
Kar ja li coard n’I chasront

'The Brave and the valiant
Are always to be found between the hooves of horses
For never will cowards fall down there.'
