A Whole Nother Story

A Whole Nother Story by Cuthbert Soup is $0.99 in the Amazon Kindle store, and has received an average user rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars based on 36 customer reviews.

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

The three Cheeseman children, their father, and their psychic dog are all on the run. From whom? Well the CIA, naturally. But also corporate agents #5, #29, and # 207, plus two international superspies — one of whom happens to be a chimpanzee. They all want Dr. Cheeseman and his late wife’s greatest invention-a machine with unspeakable powers-OK, I’ll say it. It’s a time machine. But it’s not working right yet, so put all ideas of time travel out of your head.

Instead, please enjoy this high stakes, high action, hijinx-filled chase. And the bizarre characters our Cheeseman friends will meet as they protect not just their parents’ invention, but their mother’s sacred memory. It’s an adventure novel like no other.

Oh yeah, and did we mention the entertaining, plot-exposition filled, unsolicited advice you’ll receive along the way? So you didn’t ask for it? Yeah, that’s why it’s unsolicited.

Nominated for the 2011 Cybil Award for Young Adult Fiction!

Aspiring ballerina Dani Spevak is thrilled when hit TV show Teen Celebrity Dance Off comes to the campus of her performing arts boarding school. She trades the barre for the ballroom and gets set to cha-cha-cha to stardom with Hollywood wonderboy Nick Galliano.

At first their partnership is awkward, because Dani is in awe of her longtime teen idol crush. But soon their chemistry is heating up the dance floor and the attraction moves into real life.

Her excitement is short-lived, because someone wants her off the show. Bombs, poisoning, arson… Will Dani’s 15 minutes of fame be over before she reaches age 15? Dani and her friends are suddenly at the center of some serious sabotage. And if she doesn’t find out who is behind it, her next pirouette could be her last.

It’s like Nancy Drew in toe shoes in this light-hearted tween mystery, a finalist for Romance Writers of America’s Golden Heart® Award for Best Young Adult Romance.

Warning: if you enjoy romantic tales about princesses dressed in pink, DO NOT READ THIS BOOK!

Auggie Spinoza is a ten-year-old boy with a secret: he is a special agent who can travel through time. Now, he finds himself locked in a desperate battle against evil forces trying to change the course of history. To defeat them, Auggie must pursue a dangerous quest to find a set of mysterious clues hidden in the past.

With the help of a clever new friend and advice from a cast of famous characters with names like Jefferson, Darwin, and Plato, Auggie fights to fulfill his destiny and save his world from ruin. Along the way, he learns the importance of thinking clearly and shows the awesome power of a code-breaking, book-loving, time-traveling ten-year-old with a talent for being in the right place at the right time (and doing the right thing).

Fans of Rick Riordan, The 39 Clues, and The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel will delight in this action-packed and thought-provoking adventure through history.

30 Books – 99 cents – This Weekend Only!

I received an email from my friend, Phoenix Sullivan, who some of you may recall is a pretty darn good independent author – I’ve featured her book Sector C both on this blog and the Free Kindle Books and Tips blog.  She wrote to tell me about a special promotion she and fellow author David Gaughran have organized: 30 books from 26 different authors where the pricing will be reduced to 99 cents for today through Sunday only.

Most of these books are normally $2.99 and up, and there are some bestsellers as well as undiscovered gems in this lot: I’ve profiled just a few of these in the past, but seeing as how there are new members all of the time on this little community, there are many of you who haven’t seen these books before.

The 30 books are listed below without the description – but they are listed with the title, author’s name, genre, and a link to the Kindle book’s Amazon page.  Remember, these will revert back to their regular pricing after this weekend, so if you are interested in any (or all) of them grab them now!

Thank you, Phoenix, for giving the blog readers the heads-up on this!
