Newly Released Kindle Books with Descriptions——-
May 4, 2011 6 Comments
This post is for books that are new to kindle that don’t get a lot of hype. It is a way to give books that are not in the spotlight a chance. I did take my book off of the list because it seems a little selfish to promote myself when the rest of the blog is already about my book. This is not a top-seller list. If a description of a book interests you, click on the link and give it a chance. Then write your thoughts at the bottom of the blog. Then I’ll insert the reviews into the list for others to see. Here’s the list:
———————————————————————————————————————————————-
1) Laria Gracekill and the Cleaver of Canaphi by Andrew Van Vleck – $2.99 approx.
After a freak accident that wrecks her ship, a cheap ride on a Corlothan freighter might have seemed like a good idea at the time to Laria Gracekill, former noblewoman turned courageous bounty hunter. But when all systems suddenly fail it seems as though there are some things that it’s not a good idea to save money on. Especially when this combustible crate’s other passengers include a psychotic killer, guarded by one of Laria’s fellow Hunters in the rear section. With the possibility of a madman having escaped in a vital area of the ship and the crew having the “spines of puddles”, it falls upon our heroine to investigate for herself. Now, if only she had access to a decent gun…
Please note, this is an action-packed short story (4000 words approx).
2) Blurred Realities by Amber LaShell – $4.99
Alexandra is taking a much needed vacation to the place her ancestors are from, Ireland. Shortly after arriving she notices an odd man with the most eerily glowing green eyes staring at her from across a pub. Then, she suddenly starts having some very erotic dreams about him that are a little too real. Now she is on a mission to find out how, or what he is, and the answer may be more than she bargained for.

3) THE HARVARD MAN by John Arthur Long, sold through Vellum Publishing, Inc. at http://www.newkindlebooks.com

4) The Proposal: Book One (The Beautiful People series) by Danielle Benson – $3.99
Remember the late nineties and early noughties? Movie stars were larger than life, event films were the norm and it was the last breath of an age of cynicism tinged with innocence, which ended abruptly on 9/11.
A unique look at young Hollywood during a particular time in the film industry when movie stars still carried their own particular magical brand of clout and films made money; before the period of celibutantes and reality television.
5) The Broken Wishing Well by Daniel McGarvey – $0.99
An old, neglected hole in the ground in the middle of an abandoned field? THIS is a wishing well??? In this series of short stories for children, the wishing well doesn’t grant wishes so much as teach lessons to those who use it. By doing so, this seemingly “broken” wishing well helps them to make their own wishes come true!
In this first story of the series, three girls discover the mysterious wishing well, which might have been put there yesterday, or centuries ago. Hardly attractive, it’s little more than a pile of rocks around a hole, but Katie and Emily convince Jenny to try it out to see if it really works. You won’t believe what happens next!

6) ZEBRA’S COVE by Ben Shi- $9.99
Zebra (pronounced like Debra) is many things, but most of all she is different. She is cute, shy, playful… yet in the blink of an eye mature, serious and more sure of herself than any girl you’ve ever known. The gorgeous young lady places Eric under her spell before he realizes what has taken place and takes him on a fantastic journey to a place that, up to then, he only dreamed existed, and introduces him to a purpose his nature struggles to accept.
Everything Zebra says and does is for a specific purpose, but Eric is slow in realizing it; but not as slow as the wicked men who dare stand in her way. They have no idea what she has in store for them when a predestined judgment arrives.
Zebra’s Cove is an amazing tale of good vs evil, love and heartache, and the brand of punishment that eventually comes to those who insist on doing wrong.

12) Don’t Go There! A Robblogger Look at Travel – $0.99
Here’s what people are saying about the newest sensation to hit the e-book scene:
Stephen King – “Without a doubt the best thing I’ve ever read. Much better than anything I could have written. But I’m not Stephen King, I’m your landlord, and you can’t pay rent with e-books”
Candy Apples – “Without a doubt the best thing I’ve ever read. Much better than anything I could have written. But you can’t pay for lap dances with e-books”
Chastity Bono – “Without a doubt the best thing I’ve ever read. Much better than anything I could have written. The frosted side appeals to the woman in me. The whole wheat side appeals to the man in me. I laughed my balls off. I really did! Please call an ambulance!”
What’s this dubious literary offering really all about? Besides a pretty clever way to part you from a few pennies, my girlfriend has always wanted to travel. I care for the idea of traveling about as much as I care for the idea of soaking my head in a sink full of electric eels. Travel appeals to me not very much at all, slightly less than not very much at all, to be brutally honest.
So the birth of this e-book was my girlfriend suggesting countries we should visit. And me finding creative ways to convince her that visiting proposed country wouldn’t be fun.
