FREE -- To Be Someone by Louise Voss [Kindle Edition]
Helena Nicholls - ex world-famous pop star and prime-time DJ - wakes up
in hospital to find her looks, her career and her personal life in
tatters. She has been let down by her boyfriend, and the one person she
loved most in the world - her best friend since the age of five - is
dead. She feels that she belongs nowhere, and her sense of identity,
fragile at the best of times, is in pieces.
So Helena turns to the
one thing that has always got her through, the one thing that has real
resonance: music. And she begins to concoct The Plan. Using the request
format that made her radio show so popular, where listeners rang in with
detailed stories about why certain songs were so meaningful for them,
she sets out the story of her own life, chapter by chapter, track by
track.
Thinking about the songs that represent important chapters in
her own life, Helena begins to come to terms with her past. But the
present is more of a problem as, while in hospital, she has re-met an
old friend to whom she is still hugely attracted. Her strict adherence
to The Plan, however, means that time is not on her side. If she is to
have a future at all, she must work out what it really means To Be
Someone.
With its wry, appealing narrative voice, and its insider's
take on the world of pop music, To Be Someone is a stunningly mature
first novel which swings with wide smoothness between past and present,
child and adulthood, joy and tragedy, love, loss and the meaning of true
friendship.

FREE -- Curious Folks Ask: 162 Real Answers on Amazing Inventions, Fascinating Products, and Medical Mysteries (FT Press Science) Sherry Seethaler [Kindle Edition]
In the vein of David Feldman’s Imponderables books, here’s an
interesting collection of questions and answers based on Seethaler’s
column in the San Diego Union Tribune. The format is straightforward:
first the question, then the answer. The questions are grouped into
categories—ingenious inventions, body parts, pesky pathogens, health
nuts, and so on—and the answers range in length from slightly more than a
page to a few sentences. It’s the kind of book you read a bit at a
time, and it’s just the thing for anyone who has been wondering why some
people blink more than others, why California requires the use of snow
tires in winter, why you don’t keep your eyes open when you sneeze, or
what eyelashes are for. Not as lively or as entertaining as the
Imponderables books, probably because the questions are generally a bit
duller, the book is still informative and reasonably entertaining.
Trivia fans will find much to amuse themselves with here.

FREE -- You Don't Need a Prince: A Letter to My Daughter by Cheryl Shireman [Kindle Edition]
As women, so many of us buy into the myth that we need a prince to live
happily ever after - or at least our verson of a prince. In reality,
like the Good Witch tells Dorothy, YOU always had the power. You don't
need a prince to be happy. The power to be happy lies within.
Now, instead of a fairytale, let a true story inspire you (or your daughter or a friend).
This
book began as an actual email from a mother to a daughter in college at
Indiana University. The daughter was going through a tough time in her
relationship. She had mixed emotions about ending her current
relationship because she simply did not want to hurt him. To make
matters worse, she had just met another man. A man she was head over
heels in love with. Amid this turmoil, her mother sent her an email with
words of advice about love and relationships. About the myth that every
girl needs a Prince.
The daughter loved the email so much that
she began forwarding it to her friends. And so the chain began, women
reaching out to women.
And now that email has been turned into a book for you to share with the women in your life.

FREE -- The Pawn (The Patrick Bowers Files, Book 1) by Steven James [Kindle Edition]
In this riveting thriller, the first of a planned trilogy, James (Story)
introduces FBI agent Patrick Bowers. His professional specialty is
environmental criminology, which attempts to track lawbreakers by
analyzing the significance of the time and place at which the crime
occurred. When corpses of young women start turning up near Asheville,
N.C., Bowers is called in. The killer's MO is to tie a yellow ribbon in
his victims' hair and leave a chess piece somewhere on the scene. Bowers
begins to suspect that the governor of North Carolina, rumored to be
the next Republican presidential contender, is somehow connected to the
murders, and that a cult with links to Jonestown might also be involved.
Making matters trickier, the special agent supervising Bowers turns out
to be a longtime colleague with whom Bowers has some bad blood. Bowers,
a recent widower with a surly teenage stepdaughter to raise, tries to
keep his grief and parental confusion at bay so that he can focus on the
case as the killer targets more innocent women. Christian faith makes a
subtle appearance in the story and appears to be a theme that will be
developed in future installments. A gripping plot and brisk pacing will
win James some fans eager for his next offering. (Sept.)

FREE -- Journey on the Hard Side of Miracles by Dr. Steven Stiles [Kindle Edition]
Seeing is not believing, and blind faith may scarcely be faith at all.
We
had been warned. But not one person had a clue as to what would
actually happen when we first boarded that tired old bus. With two
hundred easy miles to our destination, there was little cause for
concern. Yet somehow, despite every effort, our humble band of Jesus
People never got there—and we never really found our way home.
As
the mountains, valleys, rivers, and stretches of rugged wilderness
passed beneath our wheels, we knew we were being cared for. But
difficult and unexplainable events also revealed we were deep into an
incredible journey on the hard side of miracles. We knew we must not
turn back, for every mountain climbed, every desert crossed, every dark
valley and peaceful place of rest revealed an unseen Traveller, the One
to whom the journey belonged.
There is a reason to listen to the Shepherd.
There is a reason to stay close.

FREE -- The Mark of the Beast by Olisaemeka Mbanefo [Kindle Edition]
Most Christians all over the world believe that the Mark of the Beast
system will set in motion after they would have been “raptured.” But the
system has been in operation and many have been receiving the Beast’s
mark on their foreheads and on their right hands. They receive it at
their workplaces, their schools, the clubs they belong to, and their
homes. Their friends give it to them, the groups they belong to give it
to them, their society gives it to them, and their colleagues give it to
them.
Many authors have written about the mark of the beast,
saying that it is a worldwide financial infrastructure that would enable
the identification and tracking of every financial transaction of all
human. This worldwide financial system, according to these authors would
employ the use of a biochip that would be implanted under the skin of
the right hand or the forehead of a human being and the number “666”
written on it.
The Mark of the Beast is not a biochip implanted
under the skin of a man’s forehead or right hand with the number 666
written on it; it is something different. The Scripture solved the
mystery of the Beast’s mark, and this book tells it in a way no book has
ever done.

Broadmoor Revealed: Victorian Crime and the Lunatic Asylum by Mark Stevens
Broadmoor Revealed gives the reader a glimpse behind the walls of England’s first Criminal Lunatic Asylum.
Focused on the Victorian period, the book tells the stories of some of the hospital’s best-known patients. There is Edward Oxford, who shot at Queen Victoria, and Richard Dadd, the brilliant artist and murderer of his father. There is also William Chester Minor, the surgeon from America who killed a stranger in London, and then played a key part in creating the world's finest dictionary. Finally, there is Christiana Edmunds, ‘The Chocolate Cream Poisoner’ and frustrated lover.
To these four tales are added new ones, previously unknown. There were five women who went on to become mothers in Broadmoor, giving birth to life when three of them had previously taken it. Then there were the numerous escapes, actual and attempted, as the first doctors tried to assert control over their residents.
These are stories from the edge of where true crime meets mental illness. Broadmoor Revealed recounts what life was like for the criminally insane, over one hundred years ago.

Fire and Ice (Liam Campbell #1) by Dana Stabenow
Alaska State Trooper Liam Campbell, demoted and reassigned to the remote bush town of Newenham, literally steps off the plane into a murder scene. Dealing with death is never simple, but when the woman leaning over the body proves to be Liam's old flame, it’s evident that his new job is about to become much more complicated.
From Newenham’s cast of eccentric—and sometimes hair-trigger—residents, to the intricate ballet of fishing boats rushing against time to catch their limit, Stabenow captures the contagious spirit of melancholy madness that pervades America’s last frontier. Of course, small town tensions tend to simmer just beneath the surface, and murder, once done, has a tendency to happen again...
New York Times bestseller and Edgar Award winner Dana Stabenow, a life-long Alaskan, is best known for her Kate Shugak series of mysteries. She has created a compelling new protagonist in State Trooper Liam Campbell.

Suddenly he isn't sure about anything any more. Will he learn to relax and go with the flow or will he try desperately to remain in charge even in the face of domestic upsets and strange things happening all around him?
It becomes quickly apparent to Dusty that the local authorities aren’t being straight with her, or anyone else, about what’s been going on in the little Midwestern town she grew up in. The detective in her kicks in and she decides to find out what--or who--has killed her brother, so she moves in temporarily with her father and stepmother, takes a job in a local bar, and starts asking questions.
Her focus soon fixes on Shane, her brother’s best friend--the town bad boy and bad seed. The tension between the two of them has always been palpable, and nothing has changed. Sparks fly as they collide, and while Dusty finds herself sinking in deeper with Shane, the mystery of what happened to her brother--and an ever growing list of victims--grows even stranger.
Dusty finds her past haunting her everywhere she goes as she continues to dig deeper into the circumstances of her brother’s death, and her future looms large as her fate as a police officer is about to be determined back in Chicago. With everything coming to a head, she focuses on one thing: What happened the night her brother was killed in the cemetery? She’s sure Shane knows... something... and she’s determined to find out what it is, one way or another.
Compromised is the story of a British Special Forces soldier kidnapped by the IRA in Belfast during The Irish Troubles in 1989 – the first part of the story is relentless in its pace and covers a time period of less than 12 hours focussing on the kidnapping and interrogation of the soldier. In contrast the second part of the novel covers the years that follow the kidnapping through a series of snapshots of key events affecting the principle characters against the backdrop of The Troubles, interwoven with insights into the activities of British intelligence and security agencies. The third and final part of Compromised is set in 1997 where, with the promise of a real prospect for peace looming across the whole of Ireland, there will be a final reckoning.
The FBI is also involved in the pursuit for the serial killer. Their evidence points to a Russian Mafiya baron. The chase leads Gabriel to Moscow with an FBI partner, Special Agent Faith Ward. Facing political interference from both American and Russian governments, they ask for help from the Moscow Militia, only to find them both corrupt and on the Mafiya payroll.
Assistance comes from an unexpected quarter, a Russian Orthodox Bishop. With his help, de Sade reaches the heart of the Mafiya operations. Aided only by a discredited Militia detective, he is forced to confront the Moscow Mafiya in a brutal, head on clash. De Sade must use every bit of his skill and training to survive in what is a shattering and extraordinary thriller.
The thrilling Gabriel De Sade series consists of:
Killing Faith

Every emergency doctor dreaded recognising someone in Casualty – even cool-headed consultant James Morrell. But he was doubly shocked when the unconscious patient he was asked to treat was instantly familiar. It was his ex-wife!
Dr Lorna McClelland hated being ill, hated being stuck in a hospital bed, but above all she hated having to rely on James. Then, as she recovered, all the wonderful things about their marriage came flooding back…
