Overview
Short Synopsis/Flap Copy
Scotland 1373: Crispinus, the head of Oronsay Priory, is found dead, strangled and battered, his mouth stuffed with sand, in the middle of the tidal strand separating the holy island of Oronsay from the larger island of Colonsay. The Lord of the Isles, overlord of the islands, assigns the task of finding the killer to Muirteach, the Prior’s bastard son.
Since breaking with his father and leaving the monastery, Muirteach has spent his time acting as scribe for his uncle, an island chieftain. Muirteach’s father, a powerful churchman, leaves behind a mistress and several other bastards as well as his embittered eldest son, who is thankful he will never hear the words, “My bastard son, the cripple” again.
As Muirteach seeks to find his father’s murderer he is helped by the physician Fearchar Beaton, and his daughter Mariota. Muirteach himself is suspected of the murder, as are the Prior’s mistress, her family, and the sub-prior. The killer strikes again, His Lordship wants the mystery solved before the Pope and the King in Edinburgh learn of it, and Muirteach himself must come to terms with his own troubled relationship with his father. Muirteach’s investigation submerges him deep into a whirlpool of deceit, long buried sins, and treachery, from which no one emerges unscathed.

Mystic River with A Bonus Excerpt
Make sure you pick this edition with bonus material; the regular edition is still full price.
Everyone knows it's hard to enter high school. But no one knows better than Stanley Hoff. It doesn't help that at night he wants to howl up at the moon. Or that in his vegetarian household, Stanley has a horrible secret that makes it hard to sit down at the dinner table and bless the veggie burgers prepared by his Wiccan mother.
As they say in New England, Stanley Hoff is WICKED HUNGRY.
In fact, he's filled with forbidden cravings. And not for tofu pups. For meat. How much beef jerky, how many Slim Jims can Stanley hide in his room, in his locker at high school?
When a very hairy showdown with a school bully sets in motion a great chain of events that include an invitation to cheerleader Meredith's Halloween party, Stanley has to ask himself some important questions. Can he overcome his shyness and get the girl? Save his family, his community and his diverse group of friends from the growing supernatural threat? All while figuring out how to control the beast within?

The characters in The Tea Series are people you'd like to know and part of a family that welcomes you with open arms. More than 80,000 copies of the books in this series have been sold. You will find that each book in the series is a fast and fun read. Each installment of the series is a hybrid of the traditional novel and the serial novel (each is a full-length novel and leads directly into the next installment.) Each book is just 99 cents.
More of a serial novel than a series, please meet Cara and Teagan O'Flynn.
Three careers, a new guy, and things are only getting more complicated...
More questions than answers, but the pieces are finally coming together, maybe.
Things rarely happen the way you expected, but for Cara, that might be best.
They didn't count on things changing so much while they were gone. One bad guy out of jail, another unaccounted for and just what did their mother do with their boyfriends?
One of Cara's greatest fears seems to be coming true - Teagan has decided to move away and Cara has no idea how she is going to deal with it.

Here is the blurb. I hope you check it out. It's only $.99!!
Elyse knows what it means to keep a secret. She's been keeping secrets her whole life. Two, actually. First, that she ages five times slower than the average person, so that while she looks eighteen years old, she's closer to eighty. Second, that her blood has a mysterious power to heal. For Elyse, these things don't make her special. They make life dangerous. After the death of her parents, she's been careful to keep her secret as closely guarded as possible. Now, only one other person in the world knows about her age and ability. Or so she thinks. Elyse is not the only one keeping secrets. There are others like her all over the world, descendants of the very people the Greeks considered gods. She is one of them, and they have been waiting for her for a long time. Among so many of her kind, she should not be very remarkable--except for the prophecy. Some believe she will put an end to traditions, safeguarded by violence, which have oppressed her people for centuries. Others are determined to keep her from doing just that. But for Elyse, the game is just beginning--and she's not entirely willing to play by their rules.

Patient Zero (Joe Ledger Series #1)
I've been wanting to read this series for awhile; with the first book now at $2.99 (at least for the moment), I have a great reason to start!
Nothing posted here for a bit.
This is a useful survey type book. Not in depth by any means. Give the basics of each book of the Bible plus maybe a little more.
It has been $.79 for quite some time. My apologies if it has been listed previously.
