According to Jeaniene Frost, our review of Halfway to the Grave was the first review for her 2007 debut novel. I still remember Hubby picking the book up off the dining room table and asking me what it was – the cover is still very striking, and I believe the same model has been used for the series.
This week, starting today, actually, Halfway to the Grave is on sale for $1.99 as an ebook, along with bonus materials like deleted scenes and excerpts of the new book. There’s never-before-published scenes, the first four chapters of One Foot in the Grave, and two additional excerpts as well. Seriously. Bonus Materials, this ebook has them.
The sale price is valid today until 25 October, so you’ve got plenty of opportunity to buy, gift, and nag folks if you really liked this book (I did). You can get the sale price at Amazon Kindle, Kobo, and BN.com.
So, to celebrate the sale, Jeaniene wants to give away a digital reader here, where her first review was posted. So we’re going back to 2007!

OMG I totally couldn’t put this book down, that hasn’t happened in a long time. I was on my way to get some retail therapy, and was reading on my phone as I wandered around my apartment and got ready to go. I realized they were about to finally get some nookie, and sat my butt right back down, and kept reading. Going to best buy could wait. Afterwards I read as I walked down the stairs and to my car. I even kept reading in the bar after the retail therapy.
As far as bonus items: a fully stocked ereader, not even picky about which one, some cold Sam Adams Octoberfest, and the a winning season by the Jaguars. (I don’t ask for much do I 😉 )
Diet Coke and Hershey’s Dark Chocolate!
My bonus material would be a new knee – hopefully I will be getting one soon!

The husband. Yeah, it sounds sappy, but how can you not want to have someone who’ll back you up when everything starts to go wrong?
A vacation – so I have time to read all the books in my TBR pile.

A lot of books and my laptop.

2. All of Jeaniene Frost’s books
3. My dog LOLA
4. Deodorant – definitely do not want to stink 🙂
5. My fabulous Tempur-pedic pillow
6. Black leather jacket – to be badass
7. Black shoes with sliver heels!!! Go CAT.
Computer access. power source and internet access.
Well…i definitely don’t think I’ll need extra underwear…cause going commando…
Probably something cold to drink cause I get so flushed and hot when ever Bones is in the house…
Some rope to tie up my favorite play thing…
Some toys to keep from getting bored…not that I expect to get bored but I have a nasty habit of getting in to trouble when I’m idle for to long…
Lip gloss, my laptop, and my ipod in my favorite handbag (although I’m not sure handbag is the right term since it can fit almost anything in it)
I would take:
My Dog Dargo
2 Daggers
Smartphone & Laptop(can read & watch tv) w/ unlimited battery
Pillow & Blanket
Flashlight
Comfy Socks
Water & Wine
BBQ tofu and frosted flakes.
I would say a bag of yarn and a crochet hook & my ipod and I am good to go
The essentials for survival: Cadbury’s Diary Milk Chocolate (the kind you get in England not the kind in the US; it’s made by Hersey’s. yuck), a cell phone with my favorite Indian place on speed dial (a girl’s gotta have a proper curry), a flashlight, and a library of books.
my crockpot 🙂
I’m tempted to say my xacti dual camera, but it doesn’t do well in low light (so no midnight grave footage) and the batteries would probably run out before things got interesting. So I’ll go with a notebook and supply of pens. As long as I have something to write with I’m good. Also plenty of drinking water.
The massive pile of books in my on-deck circle, my husband, a phone so that I can catch up with the kids, and like many others, my Blistex. And maybe my nemesis’ favourite object (whatever it might be), ‘cause I would start every day with a smile imagining him looking for his phone/tv/wii/porn/teddy. Yeah, I’m that guy.
