Lockdown April
As you know, we usually send out our newsletter on or about the 10th of the month. This month we're early because we wanted to let you know about our #LockdownFreebies. We decided to help alleviate everyone's boredom by making one classic Pulp Fiction ebook from our collection, FREE per day for the month of April. You need to drop by the site every day to get that day's freebie. And no, there is no schedule of which books will go free when... We're making it up as we go along.
|
Every morning, about 9am Eastern time zone we switch out the prior day's freebie. You can find a link to that day's Freebie near the top of the home page. Download it, read it and enjoy it.

In other news, it was suggested to us that we produce Captain Blood by Rafael Sabatini. You probably remember it as the great 1935 film that introduced Errol Flynn and a 19 year old Olivia De Havilland to the world.

Captain Blood is considered among the greatest of all the pirate theme movies and certainly has one of the best sword fights you could ever want to see. And great as the movie is, the book is even better. Look for Captain Blood by Monday.

The Weeping Doll lay on Fyon’s pink sands. When Don Haig picked it up, the cosmic battle between Vulcan and Mulciber would begin!
|
|
There was only one Vulcan’s weeping doll in the galaxy, maybe in the universe. It was in the big museum back on Earth. It was only displayed once every four or five years because of the reactions it had on the museum goers. But somehow Don Haig had found another on the pleasure planetoid of Fyon. Captivatingly beautiful, the doll wept. Whether just for him, or for all mankind, Don didn’t know. But Don did know why the SSP were hunting him – they wanted that weeping doll. For lurking behind the beauty of paradise was the brutality of a police state.
