Evening Edition! Free Kindle Book!

**Note** I've gotten messages that this isn't free anymore, but you need the LIMITED edition, which is still free HERE!

In packing for Florida, I decided to capitalize on the BEACH THEME ((Yes, I am packing my swim suit, just in case! Sunday is a “day off” for me in between a class on Saturday and a guild meeting on Monday..so I just might NEED a beach book, right?)) and downloaded this freebie to my Kindle!

A lot of times I look down the amazon page to see how many “printed” pages the book would be…I’m not sure, this one just lists kb, not page count….so it could be just a short story --but here you go!

It’s called…Life’s a BEACH!

By the bestselling author of Must Love Dogs, the story of two grown-up sisters who fight like cats and dogs -- but call each other at least twice a day.

Luckily for her legions of fans, Claire Cook returns with another sparkling romantic comedy that's reminiscent of Must Love Dogs in all the right ways, but very much its own animal -- about a relationship-challenged single woman, her quirky-to-put-it-mildly extended family, and the summer the shark movie came to town.

Life's a bit of a beach these days for Ginger Walsh, who's single at forty-one and living back home in the family FROG (Finished Room Over Garage). She's hoping for a more fulfilling life as a sea glass artist, but instead is babysitting her sister's kids and sharing overnights with Noah, her sexy artist boyfriend with commitment issues and a dog Ginger's cat isn't too crazy about.

Geri, her BlackBerry-obsessed sister, is also nearly over the deep end about her pending fiftieth birthday (and might just drag Ginger with her). Toss in a dumpster-picking father, a Kama Sutra T-shirt-wearing mother, a movie crew come to town with a very cute gaffer, an on-again-off-again glassblower boyfriend, plus a couple of Red Hat realtors, and hilarity ensues.

The perfect summer read, Life's a Beach is a warm, witty, and wise look at what it takes to move forward at any stage in life. ". . . funny page turner . . ." ” Ft. Worth Star Telegram

"Humorous, light, and at times touching. Cook once again hits the mark.” Fresh Fiction

"Midlife love, laughter, sibling rivalry and self-discovery . . . Goes down as easy as it sounds.” People

"Tender, touching, and terribly, terribly funny!" Mary Kay Andrews, author of Savannah Breeze

"a book brimming with wit and heart." รข€” Cape Cod Times "perfect-for-the-beach summer novel . . . a bumpy delight." Boston Common

Enjoy! And as always….check the price when you go to download it. What is free today, may not be tomorrow!

I get lots of email asking me how/where I find these. I just look. Often times when I download something there are other links to follow at the bottom of the page. That lead to this one. You just have to be willing to search through lots of Bleehhgh to find the good stuff. For instance, a title that came up yesterday was something like "The Truth About Securing Your Retirement With IRA's" ((Can you see my eyes glaze over?)) There are a lot of text books, a lot of stuff I do NOT like...((I don't read vampires, sci-fi, or chainsaw murders, overly preachy-churchy or steamy threesomes, etc)) so if you like those, you'll need to search for those on your own. I just post what I like, thinking that someone else might like them too. There is no mystery other than that!

Thanks. That's the second freebie I've downloaded thanks to your suggestions. Keep searching. You had to click on the "limited" edition to get it free. The regular edition was $9.99.

I just ordered it & it was still free, look again. You were prob looking at the book, not the download.

Also you can go to the sidebar & click on the free book list & check out all of them. I like sci fi/fantasy so I have to go check myself.

Found another might like something Polar Bear Tatoo? Hope it's not an ickey x rated.
