    BooksForABuck.com Newsletter--June, 2008

    BooksForABuck.com Stuff

    If you're like me, you're probably wondering, how come I wear shirts with logos for various races and companies, but don't have any great BooksForABuck.com apparel (okay, maybe this is something you've never wondered, but now that you consider the possibility...). Well, we've opened a Cafe Press store with some cool BFAB loot including t-shirts, a great hoodie sweatshirt, a coffee mug, a cap, and (my personal favorite) a book bag (messenger bag). I haven't added any markup, so all of these are available at cost. Check it out here: www.cafepress.com/booksforabuck. If you're a booksforabuck.com author and would like to have your own Cafe Press store, let me know. I'll help you with the art work and link to your store (and you can mark prices up).

    New Books

    We published one new book in May--and if you act quickly there's still time to take advantage of the introductory $1 pricing.

    Glass Hours by Cathy Richard Dodson (cover) GLASS HOURS by Cathy Richard Dodson tells of a young woman thrown from the past to the present through a tragedy she can't remember. She discovers that many of the people in her new present remind her of those she left behind--but with differences that might prove fatal. Two men both vie for her attention--one dark and dangerous, the other apparently kind. Can she make the right choice? Read the review or the free excerpt. Price is only $3.99--but only $1 until June 24th.

    Coming in June, we're looking forward to publication of HUNGER by Rob Preece--a sexy paranormal. Also in June, the latest from Rob Clague--WHITEFELLA DREAMING is the story of an Australian undertaking a mystical journey across the outback. (Note: some of you may see that we anticipated WHITEFELLA DREAMING in May. I'm waiting for the final version--no book before it's ready).

    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.
