New Books
We published one new book in June--and if you act quickly there's still time to take advantage of the introductory $1 pricing.
 HUNGER, by Rob Preece is a sexy paranormal romance/urban fantasy. He's hungered for centuries but now Ewan believes his hunger can be satisfied. What he demands from Tia Burns, though, is far more than her blood. Because Ewan isn't a vampire--exactly. He's something far more powerful--something that, to Tia's mind, is completely forbidden. Price is only $3.99--but only $1 until July 22th. Learn more, read the free excerpt, or buy the book here. |
Coming in July
In July, we're looking forward to publication of DEADLY TURN, the latest in Michael Paulson's vivid Deacon Bishop hardboiled detective series. Bishop gets into more trouble--but doesn't even realize his biggest trouble, with beautiful Rita Portello gunning for him in a way he just doesn't get. (In other news, Michael Paulson tells me there's at least one more Deacon Bishop mystery coming after DEADLY TURN).
As always, you'll want to check back often to take advantage of our introductory pricing and to get the books when they're available nowhere else but directly from BooksForABuck.com.
What's Happening
Have you noticed that our most recent books are available in ePub format. ePub is a standards-based format for eBook production and distribution. The dream is that you'll be able to read your eBook on any device. So far, there aren't that many readers that support ePub format but more are coming. You might check out the FBReader if you're looking for ePub-capable multi-device software (it's free). Learn more here.
