Big Giveaways in February for Valentine's Day

This February is a slam-dunk month for great giveaways. 

Mark your calendar for these extra special free eBooks by Dan-Dwayne.

Starting the run of freebies is a Valentine’s Day special for, Midday’s Starless Midnight. Liam Shea writes about the misfortunes of two honeymooners who stumble into the terrorist takeover of Carlsbad Cavern’s. This event actually happened on July 10^th of 1979. Read about how unlucky events lead them into the unfortunate situation and why the criminal planned it. This novel will be free from February 12^th to the 14^th, Valentine’s Day.

That special will be followed by my 4 ½ star rated novella, Pawns in the Power of Kings, which will be free from February 15th to the 17^th. One reader posted this review: Looking for a mystery thriller worth your time? Dive into a tangle of crooked politicians, beautiful women. Intermingled with Icons of a warped justice system. All dancing from the golden strings of the puppet masters. If you crave mystery, murder and spies this is your book.

That is truly a great special, but there are still great giveaways to come… Next is a free offer by Liam Shea. His short story, A Summer of Change, will be free from February 18^th to the 20^th.

This terrific run of free eBooks will be finished up by a free offer for my newly reedited and rewritten novel, The Secret King. If you have a copy of this book please be sure you get the update (it should be free from amazon) because this new edit is far better than the last edition. You will notice the improvement from the first page on. I’m expecting its 4 star rating to jump to 5 stars.

Take advantage of these great offers this month. Put a note in your sweetheart’s candy box telling your valentine that their copy is in their email. Then leave a promissory note that they will get the whole set of books that follows. You don’t have to tell them they were free.   

This offer available at Amazon.com only.  Log in and download your free eBook today.

A Reader Review for the Secret King

This is a note from a reader:

Hi Dan! I just finished your book [The Secret King] and greatly enjoyed it! Very well done. I love how you tied the wedding miracle into the story the way you did. Thanks again for letting me read it. I will let my friends know about the book!  

Thank you, Carolyn, for your kind words. Carolyn got a copy of my book from a contest on the internet and was gracious to share her feeling about it. 

A Spectacular event is happening in February

This is a special invitation to my personal Facebook friends:
Right now, mark your calendrers for  Feb. 22 and don't schedule anything else for that morning. This is going to be spectacular because we, writers and artists of the Caprock area, are banding together to create a group, perhaps you would call it an organization, better yet, I'd call it a club of sorts. This writers club will provide support for authors and fledgling writers alike. It will be a place where illustrators, novice and professional, can network for success with people needing pictures, cover illustrations, and other images for printed material. It will be a place where you can improve your craft and stretch your imagination. If you have an interest in writing and or drawing of any sort this could be the place for you.
I'm sure by now you're seen the image above and know that we're calling ourselves the Caprock Writers' and Illustrators' Alliance. And yes, we are actually made of many groups already active and serving the writing community. Our grand opening launch party is happening next month. It's a come and go meet and greet style affair. To be exact it will be February 22, Saturday at 10am to 12 noon at the Lubbock Garden and Arts Center. We have a future vision with lots of fun things planned for the next months ahead. So, come to our launch party and just visit, learn about what we have to offer, and plan for your writing and artistic success.  

This invitation is not official from the group's honchos it is from me to you because I believe that there are many fine writers and artists who have never had excellent opportunities offered to them. This is a chance to be a part of something big. Hope to see you at the launch party!

A Review of War Hawk by James Rollins

Review of  War Hawk by James Rollins:

I just finished James Rollins' Novel, War Hawk and found that it was a true roller coaster adventure ride. Nice hook in the first 30 pages to keep me interested. I was looking for 'the Ghost' to influence the story and my anticipation was rewarded.  An unexpected bit was how the omnipotent narrator said what his dog was thinking. That was not only well done but unique in it's concept. The dog was already a main character in the novel when we were allowed into it's thoughts and reasoning behaviors. Mr. Rollins past personal experiences has provided him a unique insight to animal behavior. All this said, I found that the heroic dog's ability to reason was better than I would expect any other dog to do, and at times I sat back and questioned, could a dog really do that? This didn't become a great distraction from the bullet dodging and bomb riddled adventure. From start to finish it was a twisting ride of shocks and thrills. I give War Hawks 4 and a half out of five stars. That is a near perfect score. Well done Mr. Rollins.
