Whispersync Daily Deal: Zachary Jernigan's No Return, read by John FitzGibbon

Posted on 2014-05-03 at 15:03 by Sam

Saturday, May 3, 2014: Remember two days ago in the monthly Whispersync roundup when I said that I wouldn't be doing daily deals with full write-ups on the blog? Well, I lied. Because sometimes there will be a title I think so highly of that I just have to write a bit more about it. Today's Kindle Daily Deal is Zachary Jernigan's No Return: A Novel of Jeroun, at $1.99, and there's a $1.99 Whispersync for Voice upgrade to the Audible edition, performed by John FitzGibbon for Audible Frontiers.

I was blown

Posted on 2014-05-01 at 18:38 by Sam

In the interests of time (and blog clutter) I'm going to do most "daily" Whispersync Deal posts only on Facebook/Twitter. But! As it's May 1, there's a whole crop of monthly deals to scan through. Which I have. As far as I can tell, they're valid through May 31.

In the 20 Kindle Books for $2 Each listings I found a couple of good ones, starting with Seanan McGuire's Indexing, read by Mary Robinette Kowal, for $2 Kindle plus $1.99 Whispersync for Voice upgrade. "For most people, the story of their lives is

As I reported back in January, A Calculated Life was nominated for this year's Philip K. Dick Award, and it's long been on my "pick this up the second it's on sale!" list.
