This is a story written for mothers who remember what it was like to be young and confused, and still feel that way at times.

Jesse fantasizes about living the romantic, beat life. He wants to travel the world and feel the wind of real adventure on his face. When he meets Maya, raised by nomadic hippies, he thinks he’s found a lifeboat to carry him from the dull to the sublime. He is thrilled when Maya reveals a secret from her past that compels them to hitchhike across the country together.

Meanwhile, Jean is a mother navigating her own path through the work-family balance. When her tenuous relationship with her child is threatened, she has to confront some harsh truths about motherhood. Truths she wants desperately to ignore.

Brimming with insight, humor, and generosity of spirit, Nerve tells a poignant yet unsentimental story about finding yourself and where you belong.

How will the trio survive the harsh winters of Pennsylvania? How will they survive attacks from hungry wildlife? What will they do when faced with perhaps their greatest danger: the other survivors?

Kindle Unlimited: Yes

Regular Price: $3.99
Today’s Price: $0.99

Click Here to Buy!

Book Description:

A memoir from a retired firefighter about firefighting, rescue calls and life around the firehouse.
It’s not all about fire – that’s lesson number one.

No, it’s a collection of things: assisting an injured person at three o’clock in the morning, calming a child in a traumatic situation, saving the belongings of a family from the ravages of a fire, seeing people in every heartbreaking situation imaginable and trying to help them, while not losing yourself in the process.

And it’s about the insanity found in the firehouse – to the author it’s the Cracker Factory – and the politics and pettiness that try unsuccessfully to steal the joy from the job. This book is the blue-collared view of a career firefighter. The seventeen stories in Notes from the Firehouse take the reader on a journey with the everyday firefighter from his first days as a rookie, to his last fire that prematurely sends him into retirement.

Book Description:

In the heart of London lies the Engine Ward, a district forged in coal and steam, where the great Engineering Sects vie for ultimate control of the country. For many, the Ward is a forbidding, desolate place, but for Nicholas Thorne, the Ward is a refuge. He has returned to London under a cloud of shadow to work for his childhood friend, the engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

Deep in the Ward’s bowels, Nicholas can finally escape his strange affliction – the thoughts of animals that crowd his head. But seeing Brunel interact with his mechanical creations, Nicholas is increasingly concerned that his friend may be succumbing to the allure of his growing power. That power isn’t easily cast aside, and the people of London need Brunel to protect the streets from the prehistoric monsters that roam the city.

King George III has approved Brunel’s ambitious plan to erect a Wall that would shut out the swamp dragons and protect the city. But in secret, the King cultivates an army of Sunken: men twisted into flesh-eating monsters by a thirst for blood and lead. Only Nicholas and Brunel suspect that something is wrong, that the Wall might play into a more sinister purpose–to keep the people of London trapped inside.

Book Description:

Ex-special ops legend Dane Blaise is desperate to recruit Shana George away from Scotland Yard to partner with him in his new venture, Beachcomber Investigations. She has impressive skills and if he’s honest, he needs her to keep him grounded. But most of all, Dane wants to keep Shana on the island of Martha’s Vineyard because he can’t get past his insane longing for her.

Shana’s boss David Young forces her to decide on the spot when he assigns an important case to Beachcomber Investigations. She chooses to partner with Dane, going with her gut–or more accurately her heart–rather than her brains. They may be good partners in crime-fighting, but they are all wrong for each other in every other way possible. He’s soulless and lost and likely has more wounds from his past than the bullet and knife scars scorching his body. But she’s crazy. About him.

Their big assignment is to protect Dane’s old special ops buddy, Acer. They need to find whoever paid a sniper to take a shot at Acer–before the sniper takes another shot and doesn’t miss.

Dane and Shana need to be on top of their game to keep Acer alive, and not on top of each other. But each of them is secretly worried whether that’s possible–and worried about what will happen if it’s not.

Book Description:

She’s finally met the man of her dreams. Only one problem: he lives in a different century.

HOW FAR WOULD YOU TRAVEL FOR LOVE?

A mysterious artifact zaps Isabelle Rochon to pre-Victorian England, and suddenly her love of historical authenticity collides with the reality that she’s a modern-day girl. But when a thief steals her card case, she determines to retrieve the time-traveling artifact. Now she must hunt down the case, navigate the pitfalls of stiff society London, conceal her time-traveling origins, and resist her growing attraction to Lord Montagu, a viscount so hot, he curls her shower-loving toes.

Lord Montagu is resolved to avenge his sister and has no time for dalliances, despite the appeal of the strange but lovely Colonial. However, when his scheme for revenge requires a respectable match, he convinces Isabelle to masquerade as his fiancée. But he did not bargain for Ms. Rochon being his intellectual match or the irresistible attraction.

Isabelle thought all she wanted was to return home, but as passion flares between them, she must decide when her true home, and her heart, lies.

Set in 1834 London, this time travel historical romance features a small cast of historical characters, including Ada Byron, Lord Byron’s daughter, and Charles Babbage, inventor of the Difference Engine. It explores the often overlooked scientific developments of pre-Victorian London.

With a heroine caught between the Regency and Victorian eras, find out why USA Today calls this time travel romance “a delicious twist on historical drama and romance.”

Loaning a Kindle Book to a Friend

October 30, 2015 by Michael Gallagher 4 Comments

Remember when you used to read paper books and after you had read one you would loan it to a friend to read?  Or, maybe they would loan you a book?  Amazon has a book lending feature for Kindle books you and your friends / family can take advantage of but, like most things in life, there are a couple of catches to this feature:

  • If you lend a book to someone, it can only be loaned for a 14 day period.
  • You can only loan a book once, and only once, so make sure you pick the “right” person to loan a book.
  • All books are not lendable, as there are many publishers who are blocking the feature in order to get an incremental dollar.
  • If you loan a book out to someone, you cannot read it on your Kindle at the same time (it disappears).

You can tell if a book is eligible for lending on the book’s detail page – just scroll down to the “Product Details” section on the Kindle book page.  There is a bold-faced legend called “Lending:” and it will tell you if the lending feature is enabled (it’s in the “Product Details”  section.  For example, click here to go to the collection of 26 Zane Grey books and scroll down to the “Product Details” section of the page.  The 11th line of this section as I see it on my computer’s monitor says lending is enabled.

On the other hand, a couple of years ago I read Wayne Rogers’ book called Make Your Own Rules (I thought it was outstanding) and it does not support the lending feature: click here to see what I mean.  If you scroll down to the “Product Details” section of the book’s web page, there is not a “Lending” line item above the Average Customer Review line.

If you already own the book, you can go to the Manage Your Content and Devices section of the Amazon web page (you may need to sign in to your Amazon account again) and look at your Kindle orders.  Click on the icon underneath the “Actions” column next to each title (on my computer it is a small grey square with three dots about two-thirds of the way down): if the lending feature is enabled, you will see a button titled “Loan This Title” in the popup for each individual book book.

Alternatively, if you have purchased the book, go to the book’s page on the Amazon website: right above the title line, it will show you a box just above the titles name telling you when you purchased the book, and just below that line will be a “Loan This Book” text link for you to click.  If you want to lend the book to someone, initiate from either the Manage Your Content and Devices section of the Amazon website or on the book’s web page.

You don’t have to own a Kindle to be able to read a book that was loaned to you, as the feature is also available for people to read on the Kindle for PC or other Kindle applications.

After you click the Loan This Title button or text link, your browser will next open up a form to input the borrower’s name, email address, and a personal message within the email notification.  The recipient will be notified of the loan via the email address you input into the Amazon form.  The recipient has seven days to either accept or reject the loan: if the loan is not accepted after seven days, you will be able to loan it again or read it on your Kindle.  If the recipient already owns the book, or if the book isn’t available in their country due to copyright restrictions, the borrower cannot accept the loan; if that is the case, you will get the book back available to you after the seven day period.

Receiving a Book Loan

If you have received an email notification of a book loan (it will be titled “A Loaned Book For You”) and you accept it, you can download the book to your Kindle or the Kindle reading application such as the Kindle for PC or iPad.  After you press accept, you will have 14 days to complete the book.  After the 14 day period is over, the book will disappear from your Kindle: if you haven’t finished it yet and want to complete it, or read it again at a later date, you will have to purchase the book or have a different friend loan it to you.

Once you press accept, you will then be prompted to login to your Amazon account – in other words, the lender does not need to know your registered Kindle email address in order to loan you a book (my Amazon-registered email address is different than my main “correspondence” email address).

Once that is completed, you will then select the Kindle device to download the book: if you don’t have a Kindle or Kindle application, that’s okay as you will then be directed to the steps to download a free Kindle reading application (side note; pretty smart of Amazon in order to get more Kindle readers out there).

Just remember these dates and other items:

  • Once you receive a lending notification email, you have seven days to accept it.
  • Once you accept the loaned book, you have 14 days to complete it.
  • As a lender, you can only loan a title once – and once only – so if multiple people are interested in the same book make sure you loan it to the “right” person.
  • You can only loan books: magazines and newspapers are not eligible for the loaning program.

Here are some frequently asked questions on what you can and can’t do with the lending feature.  I can’t take credit for this part as it comes from the Amazon website.

As the lender, can I read the book while it is out on loan?

Once you initiate a Kindle book loan, you will not be able to read the book until the loan period has ended, after which your access will automatically be restored.

Once your notification has been sent, a reminder message will appear on the Home screen of your Kindle or Kindle reading app, indicating that the book is on loan and cannot be read until the loan has ended.

During the loan period the book will still remain visible in your Archived Items folder, but you will be unable to redownload the title.

Will I be notified before the book loan expires?

Yes. Three days before the end of the 14-day loan period we will send borrowers a courtesy reminder e-mail about the loan expiration.  Once the loan period has ended, an e-mail notification will be sent to both the book lender and borrower. The lender can then access the book again through their Archived Items and Manage Your Content and Devices.

The borrower will receive a notice on the Home screen of their device indicating that the loan has ended.  The borrower will still be able to view the title from their Archived Items folder as well, but selecting the title will bring up a reminder that the loan has ended and provide a link to purchase the item.

If the recipient is finished with the loaned book and wishes to return it, they can do so from the Your Orders section of Manage Your Kindle.  Here’s how:

  1. Click the icon symbol next to the loaned title and underneath the “Actions” header.
  2. Click the Delete this Title
  3. Click Yes in the pop-over window to confirm the return.

After initiating a return the reading rights will be restored to the owner of the book. The owner will also receive an e-mail confirmation of the return.

How do I view the status of my loan?

You can view the status of a Kindle book loan from the Manage Your Content and Devices page. Click on the icon next next to any title (and underneath the Actions column) to view more details about any book that you’ve loaned or borrowed.

If you’ve loaned out the book, you’ll see the loan date listed, as well as whether the loan is pending, the expiration date of an accepted loan, or the returned date.

Borrowers will be able to see how much longer a loan is available, or if it has ended.

What happens to my notes and highlights?

The lender’s notes and highlights are not visible to the borrower during a Kindle books loan. When the book is returned, the same notes and highlights will appear in the book as before the loan was initiated.

The borrower of a Kindle book loan is also able to make notes and highlights in loaned books. These will not be visible to the lender at the end of the loan period. If a borrower purchases the same title after the loan has ended, any notes and highlights made in the loaned book will be retained in the purchased version.

That’s all I have for now, and happy lending!

On the run, with every law enforcement agency looking for the senator’s assassin, can JC and his team discover and then reveal who killed the senator before they get caught up in the web of agencies trying to bring them down?

Jaxon’s past is catching up with him. And the anger that seethes below the surface threatens to destroy not only his life, but the lives of a group of kids somehow connected with him. The answers are locked, frozen in the part of his past he refuses to confront. But people are counting on him. And he must do anything to save them.

Author: Catherine Gayle

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars

Regular Price: $9.99
Today’s Price: $0.99

Click Here to Buy!

Book Description:

Delay of Game

With her father’s health in question, Sara Thomas is focused on reducing his anxiety. That’s no small feat considering his high-stress job. Everyone knows Sara’s single; no one knows she’s pregnant. There’s never a good time to unexpectedly get knocked up, but now is not it. But when Jonny, one of her father’s players, seeks vigilante justice on the ice, everything gets tossed out the window.

Cam Johnson’s role with the Portland Storm entails more than scoring goals. He ensures other teams don’t take liberties with the Storm’s star players. Cam will always fight for his team—even if he has to break the rules. He’s used to taking penalties, but he never meant for anyone else to suffer from his choices.

When Cam’s actions cause Sara’s worst fears to be realized, he blames himself. Suddenly Cam is taking penalties at every turn…at least where Sara is concerned. He’s got to think on his feet or he’ll end up with a Delay of Game.

Double Major

It’s the NHL’s draft day, but the whole Portland Storm team is back together for an entirely different event. Complete with a double wedding, an unanticipated guest, overdue apologies, unexpected goodbyes, and fresh starts, this big day has the potential to get them all called for a Double Major.

In the Zone

It was supposed to be a night of fake names, half-truths, and anonymous sex. Keith Burns, star defenseman for the Portland Storm, was just looking for a way to pass the time. Brianna Hayden wanted to find herself after health issues changed everything. Anonymity is the name of their game; the rules were laid down at the outset. A chance encounter brings them back together long after the game should have ended, shattering their initial rules.

It isn’t long before things complicated. Their physical chemistry is off the charts, but it isn’t enough. They both want a future, but Keith has an unspeakable history he can’t share with anyone. Brie needs the truth if they are going to have any chance at moving forward. If he can’t give it to her, it might land him a permanent spot in her penalty box. If Keith can get In the Zone, he’ll be on the forecheck—but Brie’s heart is the goal he’s seeking.

Holiday Hat Trick

Mitchell “Q” Quincey has three goals for his three-day Christmas break.

1. Move his gym equipment out of his ex-wife Mia’s house.
2. Get his lawyer to file for joint custody.
3. Spend every minute he can with his baby girl.

When he arrives on Mia’s doorstep, things don’t go as planned. With her whole family gathered for the holiday, the only way he can be with their daughter is to spend time with them all. He’s still in love with Mia but she won’t take him back.

Having her ex-husband show up at Christmas throws Mia off her game. He didn’t even call first. The love and attraction she still feels for him leaves her fumbling for excuses. He’s always been able to leave her flustered, but now she’s afraid she’ll lose her nerve and fall back into old patterns.

Things heat up on a snowy Christmas Eve. With assists from Mia’s family and a bit of mistletoe, he might end up with a Holiday Hat Trick.

Comeback

Nicklas Ericsson was a star goaltender with the Portland Storm until his addiction changed everything. Nicky’s run out of options, and now his sister and her children are in Portland. They need help he has no clue how to provide, though, and figuring it out might derail all the progress he’s made.

For a few years, Jessica Lynch has been running the Light the Lamp Foundation’s Portland office. Between her work and her past, she knows more than she’d like about addicts. She takes a hands off approach with them, keeping her heart well away from those she works with.

Nicky’s recovery efforts put him in Jessica’s path. Where Nicky is concerned, she can’t separate her emotions. The attraction between Nicky and Jessica is instant and mutual. Can he prove that he won’t fall back into old habits in time to complete the perfect Comeback.

Sarah Temple hopes to find a bit of peace and quiet when she leaves her abusive boyfriend, but instead she finds a world of horror. It’s bad enough that a sadistic serial killer and another maniac are both trying to murder her, but what’s worse is the mysterious Solitary One who controls both of them, a malevolent entity that the serial killer describes as a living darkness, a man and yet not a man, something that’s alive and yet not alive, something that wants to appall the world.

Trying to flee from the two killers, Sarah finds herself running deeper and deeper into a deadly supernatural trap, a place where people are buried alive, where ghastly apparitions mutter in the dark, where demented killers prowl, where a crumbling haunted house can drive its victims mad with terror, and where something buried for a very long time may walk again.

Book Description:

Black Friday – the official opening of the Holiday Shopping Season and Patrice Marcum is stuck in the middle of her local superstore with a crying infant, a near hysterical desire to just abandon the diapers and milk she desperately needs, and the snowstorm of the century dumping a half-foot of snow on the parking lot outside. She needs a miracle.

The little old lady seemed sweet, but there was no way Patrice was going to leave three-month old Jeremy with a stranger. She looked outside at the snow-covered parking lot and saw yet another distressed shopper’s cart topple over in the drifts. The old lady sensed her distress and volunteered to call a store employee to help watch over Jeremy while Patrice got her car. The older gentleman, wearing a store badge with the name “Ron,” seemed too good to be true. What could be safer?

Less than five minutes later, after brushing the snow off the van and driving across the crowded and snow-packed parking lot, Patrice pulls up in front of the store. Jeremy is not there. Pushing back panic, she rushes into the store and looks around. Jeremy is not inside either. She pushes through the line at Customer Service, the associate calls Ron on the intercom, and issues a Code Adam. When Ron appears and he’s only seventeen years old, Patrice realizes the worst. “Oh God! They’ve taken my baby!”

Mary O’Reilly, Private Investigator, is decorating her office for the holiday season when the newly installed bell over her door jingles. She looks over to see a six year-old boy standing next to her desk. His name is Joey Marcum and he wants to hire Mary to find his baby brother

Mary nodded. “Okay, Joey, but I’ll want to work with the police on this one. Do you have any problems with that?”

Joey paused. “No, I guess you can talk to them.”

“That’ll be helpful.”

“But you can’t tell my mom you’re working for me,” he said, “Promise?”

“Yes, I promise.”

Joey shrugged. “I don’t think she’d understand, seeing that I’m dead, you know.”
