theolivepickerAmazon is offering Kathryn Brettell’s The Olive Picker: A Memoir for Kindle for FREE ($5.99 value) for a limited time.

More than a memoir, The Olive Picker is a touching experience brimming with strength and triumph. Facing a horrific attack, a resourceful nurse must summon her wits or lose her life. In this brave and shocking memoir, the author masterfully guides us through the pivotal points of her life, from an abusive upbringing that destroys her self-confidence, to the wreckage of an ill-conceived marriage, and onto a defining moment, full of grace and mercy, which gave her the wings to become the conquering and triumphant phoenix she is today. Kathi’s story is a heart-wrenching testament to the endurance of the human spirit. Beautifully portrayed, The Olive Picker will grab you by the soul and hold you captive to the very last page.

nikolateslaimaginationandthemanAmazon is offering Sean Patrick’s Nikola Tesla: Imagination and the Man That Invented the 20th Century for Kindle for FREE ($2.99 value) for a limited time.

If you want to learn about one of history’s most fascinating minds and uncover some of his secrets of imagination–secrets that enabled him to invent machines light years ahead of his time and literally bring light to the world–then you want to read this book.

Imagination amplifies and colors every other element of genius, and unlocks our potential for understanding and ability.

It’s no coincidence that geniuses not only dare to dream of the impossible for their work, but do the same for their lives. They’re audacious enough to think that they’re not just ordinary players.

Few stories better illustrate this better than the life of the father of the modern world, a man of legendary imaginative power and wonder: Nikola Tesla.

In this book, you’ll be taken on a whirlwind journey through Tesla’s life and work, and not only learn about the successes and mistakes of one of history’s greatest inventors, but also how to look at the world in a different, more imaginative way.

Preorder Doctor Who: The Time Lord Letters Kindle eBook for FREE

cheapskatLeave a comment

doctorwhothetimeloardlettersAmazon is taking preorders of Justin Richards’ Doctor Who: The Time Lord Letters Kindle eBook for FREE ($29.99 value) for a limited time. It’s scheduled for release September 29, 2015.

No one could travel through time—past, present, and future—as much as the Doctor does without leaving an impression. Much of what we know about this mysterious figure comes from the planets he saves and the monsters he defeats. But we’ve had little knowledge of his writings until now.

The Time Lord Letters is a collection of more than one hundred letters, notes, and jottings both by and to the Doctor—correspondence by turns entertaining and inspiring, funny and flippant, brilliant and incredible.

From the Doctor’s plea to the Time Lords to help end the War Games to an extract from the written defense he submitted at his subsequent trial; from his application for the post of Caretaker at Coal Hill School to his apology to the Queen for missing dinner; from telepathic messages to the High Council on Gallifrey to his famous letter to Santa Claus—The Time Lord Letters captures the best and most dramatic moments of an impossible life.
