Here is the book’s description from the Amazon website:

There is a Truth that exists. It is active. Alive. It fights the bounds of reality to make itself known. It’s not my truth. It’s not anyone’s truth. It is The Truth.

Psychic Detective Brodie Wade has been able to interact with The Truth since he was a child. It has scarred his mind and body, but it also gives him the ability to know things that he shouldn’t know. When Brodie encounters The Truth in its freshest forms, he has to struggle for his life and for his sanity.

Working together with Detective Phil Dawson, Brodie must summon all of his will to go head-to-head with The Truth to solve the latest string of murders. It appears that Dominick Fredrickton — the Midnight Killer — has returned from the grave, beheading the unfortunate few that get in his way.

When The Truth confronts Brodie and tells him that he must protect the Third Key, Brodie must discover what – or who – The Third Key is before Death can regain his physical form.

Here is the book’s description from the Amazon website:

Lee’s debut thriller pits ex-con ex-cop Travis Chase against increasingly dire odds as the action ratchets up like levels in a complex video game. Fresh out of prison, Travis sets out on a solo Alaskan trek, wanting nothing more than quiet time for introspection. Then he encounters a downed plane containing the dead bodies of the United States’s first lady and several others, plus hints about a mysterious missing item. Armed with superior firepower and the instincts and savvy of a good cop, Travis tracks down the murderers, who are torturing hostage Paige Campbell to get her father, Peter, to reveal another clue. Travis manages to rescue Paige just as Peter confesses the information and is killed. His last words send Paige and Travis into a dangerous world of secrets and conspiracies, where they slowly learn about the eponymous Breach and meet progressively more menacing foes. It’s all here: brilliantly devious enemies; nifty, innovative gadgets and weaponry; hang-on-to-your-hat action; and razor-sharp plot twists aplenty.

Read This Blog on Your Kindle Fire

I’ve received two negative 1-star reviews of the Free Kindle Books Plus a Few Other Tips blog in a row in the last 24 hours, making some wild claims that just aren’t true: they also happen to be the only reviews made by these two people on the Amazon website, and they are repeating several things across multiple places across the Internet.  Seeing as how they are hiding behind pseudonyms with some crazy claims, and from the tone of them, I have a pretty good idea who is behind the claim.

What’s the claim?  To summarize it, these two reviewers claim I have purposefully not allowed this blog to be available on the Android tablet / Kindle Fire market, with some other claims I am turning my back on lots of money, and purposefully turning my back on a huge portion of Kindle readers.  I’m as capitalistic as the next person, and I will take those 30 cent increments as long as they keep coming in (thirty cents, or a penny a day, is my cut of your 99 cent subscription fee)!

Folks, I have zero control on being able to have the download feature for this and any of my other blogs available for subscription purposes on the Fire like you can on the other versions of a Kindle. You might contact Amazon’s customer service department and let them know you want to have the capability of subscribing to blogs in a similar fashion on the Fire as you do on other Kindles.  I’ve contacted Kindle’s blog support team regarding the issue, but they have not responded – unlike the Kindle customer support team, which is excellent, the blog support team is rather non-existent.

There is a workaround to receiving this and other blogs on your Kindle Fire:

The Pulse app is pre-installed on your Kindle Fire, and the Pulse app basically is a collection of various blog posts and news feeds: as long as your Kindle Fire is connected to an active Wi-Fi connection, the blog posts and news feeds will be updated throughout the day. While you need an active Wi-Fi connection to update the news feeds, because the blog posts and news articles are stored on your Kindle Fire you can read them while you are offline or not connected to the Internet.

To add my two main blogs or any other blog to the Pulse app, just follow these steps in order:

• From the Kindle Fire home page, tap the Apps tab.
• Locate the Pulse icon and tap it one time.
• A list of existing feeds will now appear. To add a blog or newsfeed, scroll down to the bottom of the page and tap the blue “plus” or + icon.
• Tap the search icon located at the top of your touch screen (it looks like a magnifying glass).
• You will see an input line titled “Source name / keyword / url” at the top of your touch screen. Tap that line one time to display the virtual keyboard at the bottom of your touch screen.
• To add the Free Kindle Books Plus a Few Other Tips blog, just type in “fkbt.wordpress.com” (without the quotations), then tap the “Search” icon located at the bottom right-hand side of your touch screen.
• To add the Kindle Books for a Buck (or Less) blog, just type in “ebooksforabuck.wordpress.com” (without the quotations), then tap the “Search” icon located at the bottom right-hand side of your touch screen.
• After you tapped the “Search” icon for either of the options above, the name of the blog should now be displayed on your touch screen. Tap the blue “plus” or “+” icon located to the right of the blog’s name to add it to your Pulse feed.

I hope that helps!

Michael

To save their kingdom, the knights recruit a lonely and isolated boy named Lannon who lives in a wooded valley with his crazy father, who bears a dark illness of the soul, and his foul-tempered mother. Lannon is sought out because he possesses a rare power called the Eye of Divinity. The knights need Lannon’s gift to see through the fog of evil that shrouds Dremlock Kingdom and give them the advantage they need to turn the tables on their ancient foe.

With the help of his friends, Lannon tries desperately to unlock the Eye of Divinity in time to save Dremlock Kingdom from otherwise certain doom. With the Deep Shadow creeping around the kingdom and infecting hearts and minds, Lannon isn’t sure if anyone in Dremlock can even be trusted. Lannon finds himself, and his fellow squires, caught in a web of mystery and magic in a kingdom where anything can happen.

Lily’s life isn’t going well. Her husband is clueless and her children are rudderless. It’s little wonder she seeks comfort in her dreams, unaware that her grandmother’s rubies have transported her back through time to a safer, saner existence.

When she realizes her dream lover is a real man who lived and died years before she was born, her problems mount. Despite her fears that her marriage may not survive her unintentional infidelity, she’s entranced by the simpler nature of times gone by and can’t resist going back, but only after imposing strict rules of conduct on herself.

But a miscalculation keeps her away longer than planned, and she’s confronted by an angry husband on her return. Aware she can’t make amends and steer her children in the right direction unless she stays in the here and now, Lily vows to leave the past to the past. But in her attempt to take away the jewelry’s power, she inadvertently sends herself back without her return ticket, the rubies.
