Today I added two FREE reads to my Kindle

Published on May 28, 2015 by Jean M. Cogdell10 Comments

Don’t you just love a bargain? Especially when it’s free.

Did I say two? Well make that 3 Free e-books! (read below…)

Can’t ask for better than FREE.

I love Janet Evanovich so her endorsement was enough for me to give Fifteen Minutes to Live a read through Kindle Unlimited for FREE. Of course, $. 99 is super cheap.

“Phoef Sutton has a wonderful and unique voice. This is a romantic tale, full of suspense and human emotion. It’s also funny in its own special way. Once I started it, I couldn’t stop,” Janet Evanovich, #1 New York Times bestselling author.

Fifteen Minutes to Live by Phoef Sutton

Kindle Price:$0.99

Kindle Unlimited: Free

The second book that caught my eye was –

Sara’s Game. Why? Because I love a good thriller. What is more frightening than missing children?

The last day before summer break, her three children have gone missing from their schools, all at the same time. And the note under her windshield wiper asks one foreboding question: Are you ready to play the game?

Sara’s Game (The Sara Winthrop Thriller Series Book 1) by Ernie Lindsey

Blog 2 Book in Minutes

Published on September 12, 2014 by Jean M. Cogdell4 Comments

Do you want to make a book?

Do you want to preserve your blogs?

Maybe I’m slower than molasses, because I’m sure everyone and their dog already knows how to do this, but I’m still super stoked. Today I discovered a great website. Blog2print!

For $7.95 I downloaded my blog in a digital book format. Does it look professional and ready to sell on Amazon? No, but now I have this little eBook of all my posts and writings tucked away safe. I mean who knows anything could happen. My blog could get deleted or God forbid the internet could disintegrate.

Their website has several options for soft and hardback books for a little more. You can upload pictures to put on the covers and select which posts to keep.

Check it out, Blog2Print works for WordPress, Blogspot, Tumblr and Typepad. Let me know what you think.
