Today’s Featured Romance is the Romantic Suspense, One Beautiful Thing by Rachelle Gibson. Now $1.99!
All Xander Percival ever wanted was to race his hog across desert canyons and fade into the sunset. Never did he want to be Vice President of the notorious Lords of Destruction, nor did he want to be the one to settle endless scores between ganglang thugs and cartels. More than anything he never wanted to get entangled with Miss October, the five-foot four-inch spitfire that reeked of calamity.

Today’s Freebie is the Motivational Fiction, The Seven Magnificent Mind-Sets of Success by Russ Hamblin. Now FREE!
The adventure story of a geologist, Roger Hunt, who bemoans and lives with the loss of his family, which resulted from a fatefully lengthy battle with his devils, and of a chance reunion with an old acquaintance and alter ego that eventually leads him back to the Alaskan wilderness, ten years ago during his excursion, is told in “The Seven Magnificent Mind-Sets of Success: Adventures With The Magnificent Mind-Man.” by Russ Hamblin.
One of several things that makes this book valuable and a must-read is Mr. Hamblin’s superb and comprehensive storytelling. It offers a fresh perspective on motivating literature.
The message is more than a fictional story about motivational and success principles. Rather, the message is all about second chances in life; that it is never too late to make changes.
