Can Kit and Dante keep the alliance mates safe from pirates, alien threats, and all the usual dangers of a colony, or have they both gotten in far too deep?

|
Book Description:The Zodiac Killer #1 Detective Darek Blake thought the secrets of his past were long buried, but when a young girl is murdered in a familiar way, finding the killer will not only bring back memories he’s repressed, but give him a golden opportunity to impress the FBI. So, when his partner, Special Agent Lizzy McNamara digs up evidence that’s a little too close to home, he’s shaken to the core. The worst sin he’s ever committed bubbles up, threatening to destroy his future. Are the Zodiac killings a coincidence or is someone toying with him, and if so… who? Capricorn Book #2 Being a suspect in a murder case never happens at a good time, but for Capricorn, Tad Halston, a recovering addict and former male escort who is on the verge of reclaiming his place as an in-demand male model, the timing couldn’t be worse. With bodies piling up and more evidence pointing to him for the murders, the last thing he needs is a series of anonymous messages demanding he make the next kill for vengeance. Can he murder the uncle who abused him and sent his life hurtling down this dark path, or will his sister become the real killer’s next victim? For Tad, time is running out. Now that Darek Blake has hired Bay “The Slayer” Collins as his divorce attorney, he realizes the man’s help will come at a much higher price. Becoming an informant was never part of the deal, but with new evidence hitting too close to home, Darek is left with no other choice. With the killer targeting Darek’s old friends, he has to decide which side is most important, his role as a detective, or his past as part of the Zodiac Society. Pisces Book #3 With the suspicious death of Tad Halston, Detective Darek Blake finds walking the line between NYPD detective and Zodiac member a more daunting task than ever. Hannah Halston, Tad’s sister, refuses to believe the official story that her brother went on a vengeful killing spree. She’s doing her best to clear his name, which brings Darek’s partner, Special Agent Lizzy McNamara, even closer to his criminal past. Meanwhile, whoever is targeting the Zodiacs has their sights on Logan Miller. His life is complicated enough already, with his struggling career and bitter relationship with an older woman, but when he meets Hannah Halston at her brother’s funeral, lending a sympathetic shoulder turns into so much more. He’s determined to end things with the older woman until she tells him she’s dying. Stuck between a rock and hard place, does he continue his relationship, or go where his heart tells him? Will the killer choose for him? Click here to pick up your free copy of Zodiac Killers Box Set in the Amazon Kindle store. |

Queen of the OwlsAuthor: Barbara Linn ProbstGenre: Women’s Fiction Rating: 4.8 out of 5 stars Regular Price:
|
Book Description:A chance meeting with a charismatic photographer will forever change Elizabeth’s life. Until she met Richard, Elizabeth’s relationship with Georgia O’Keeffe and her little-known Hawaii paintings was purely academic. Now it’s personal. Richard tells Elizabeth that the only way she can truly understand O’Keeffe isn’t with her mind―it’s by getting into O’Keeffe’s skin and reenacting her famous nude photos. In the intimacy of Richard’s studio, Elizabeth experiences a new, intoxicating abandon and fullness. It never occurs to her that the photographs might be made public, especially without her consent. Desperate to avoid exposure―she’s a rising star in the academic world and the mother of young children―Elizabeth demands that Richard dismantle the exhibit. But he refuses. The pictures are his art. His property, not hers. As word of the photos spreads, Elizabeth unwittingly becomes a feminist heroine to her students, who misunderstand her motives in posing. To the university, however, her actions are a public scandal. To her husband, they’re a public humiliation. Yet Richard has reawakened an awareness that’s haunted Elizabeth since she was a child―the truth that cerebral knowledge will never be enough. Now she must face the question: How much is she willing to risk to be truly seen and known? Click here to pick up your copy of Queen of the Owls in the Amazon Kindle store. |

Over the past few years, I’ve posted this in some form or fashion a couple of times with the last time being in February of this year. However, I’ve been asked about this topic many times over the last couple of weeks as we have a lot of new readers to this blog as well as people upgrading to new varieties of Kindles, so it’s obviously time to post this tip again and update where appropriate.
Today’s post is rather long and is about the “Collections” feature, and is broken up into two parts. The first section is a general review of what a collection is and how to establish them on your new Kindle – which might be handy to those of you who have upgraded from any previous version of Kindle on the market
Please note these instructions are for e-Ink Kindles only; I will post something similar for Fire tablets soon.
Collections – A Basic Primer and “How To”
Background
Your Kindle can organize the books and other content you have on it in a file folder system called “Collections,” which if you are unfamiliar with it think of the file structure in the “My Documents” folder on a Windows-based computer: you have your files organized by topic or whatever system you may use. You can do the same with your eBooks. The following is a mixture from the Amazon customer service website as well as my own observations and experiences.
I store all of my titles by genre – mysteries, science fiction, western, etc. – so I can see what is available when I am ready to start a new book. I have over 400 unread books on my Kindle (no, I don’t think I have a problem) and organizing them by genre helps me keep it straight and I can quickly pick one out when I am ready to switch to a new genre. You can use whatever system is easiest for you.
Creating Collections
If you store a lot of content on your Kindle, you can create collections to improve your organization. A collection is a category you can create on your Kindle Home screen: you can then move your books and other reading material from the Home screen to the collections you create and your Kindle will sort your content by collections after you create your first collection. The following is how you can do it on a Kindle Paperwhite, but if you have another e-Ink Kindle the instructions are pretty much the same. I will also point out there are several different ways to do it, and this tutorial is not meant to be the “only” way.
To create a collection:
To rename or delete a collection:
Note: Deleting a collection from your Kindle does not change the content stored on your device. Items previously placed into the collection that are stored on your Kindle will appear on the Home screen after the collection is deleted and you are sorting your books by anything other than Collections (i.e., by title or author).
To sort your book content by collection:
Managing Content in Your Collections
After you create one or more collections you wish to use for organizing your Kindle’s content, you’re ready to associate items on your Kindle with those collections. Here are a few handy collection features:
To add or remove books from collections items:
To import a collection from another Kindle:
Note: Importing a collection from another device does not import the books or other items to your Kindle if they aren’t downloaded already. However, books already on your Kindle that are associated with a collection will automatically appear under that collection name on your Home screen. Open up the collection you just imported by tapping it once, and if you are still in the “All” view (remember, from the top left-hand side of the screen) you will see all of the books you have categorized in this collection. Books on your Kindle have a black checkmark on the right-hand side, those that are not but in the cloud do not have this check mark. To download a book from the cloud to your Kindle, just tap the name of the title once (but do not tap and hold!) and it will start the download process if you are connected wirelessly.
Removing or Reorganizing Content in a Collection
Maybe you would like to know how you can change books from one category to another, especially if you accidentally put one book in the wrong place. I’ve done that before a few times. While I am sure there are many ways to do this, here is how I corrected the problem and put the book where I originally intended:
As I indicated toward the beginning of this rather lengthy post, this isn’t the only way to do this – I actually use a combination of the above as well as the manage my content and devices section on the Amazon website. Do whatever works for you – but if you have a lot of books I encourage you to make the time investment to get organized now so you can spend more time reading.
Hope that helps!
Michael

Make Fitness A PriorityAuthor: Chad AustinGenre: Health & Fitness Rating: 4.8 out of 5 stars Regular Price:
|
Book Description:As fitness professionals, we want to help you reach your goals, but most importantly, we want to teach you how to keep them for a lifetime. We are not looking for temporary success here. We want fitness to be embedded as a permanent priority no matter what is going on in the world around you. You are so capable of harnessing the power of self-sufficiency and reaping the overflow of rewards. In the fitness industry today, we are fighting a wicked battle between these two ideas; a quick fix to hit a goal (like giving a man a basket of fish) and long-term success based on knowledge and behavior change, consistently (like teaching a man to fish for himself). We know which man will go hungry. Everyday there are more and more predators popping up who are making millions of dollars, preying upon a person’s deep desire to look and feel better. They are selling weight loss products and performance enhancing products that will, ultimately, only lead to temporary success. Likely, none at all. Promises of fast results with little or no effort can cloud the judgment of even the smartest and most cautious of consumers. In April of 2014, the Make Fitness a Priority community was established in Overland Park, Kansas with this very goal in mind. We want you to get off the roller coaster ride of temporary success and crashing failure, and we want you to do it among friends with the same goals. There is no prerequisite in your physical abilities, everyone is welcomed. We know all our lives are incredibly unique. Your plan should match your uniqueness. From there, consistency is born and your quality of life skyrockets. These 30 tips and tricks were created from our Saturday morning Priority Fit Camp, one of our community gatherings. In 2019, we implemented a Trainer Tip to be briefly discussed between circuits, in an effort to make a bigger impact on our community. You may be thinking, “how can one 2-3 minute tip make a big impact?” In the following pages, you will see very clearly that small changes, consistently, is what fuels this long-term success we want so badly for you. If you are a beginner, the amount of information available to you is overwhelming. Doing too much, too fast, will lead to burn out and failure to change. Take your time to wander slowly through these pages, as it fits in your life. Read one tip per week or per day, as it suits you. Take the time to focus, meditate upon and implement them because, as we said before, small consistent changes will build your path to feeling your best. Find your strength, you were built to not only succeed, but never settle. You were built to Elevate. Click here to pick up your free copy of Make Fitness A Priority in the Amazon Kindle store. |
