When ad people make their spins, truth is lost and deception wins.

[Note: If no source is indicated for these pithy pieces of advice, I am the source. I particularly liked this one. It applies to political ads as well, of course.]

Happy 4th of July! Please celebrate safely the birth of the nation. Make wise choices about drinking, traveling, and fireworks. Your family and friends need you.

At the risk of seeming to be like a 4th of July car ad, the “Mary Jo Melendez Mysteries” are on sale. Mary Jo is inviting you to celebrate with her for leaving Amazon exclusivity and appearing on Smashwords too. She’s an ex-USN Master-at-Arms who manages to get into a lot of trouble as a civilian; she also manages to beat the odds and survive, though. Muddlin’ Through (Smashwords coupon code KY27A) is an international thriller where she works to clear her name and pay back the group that framed her. In the process, she discovers the MECHs, Mechanically Enhanced Cybernetic Humans, and romance as she runs around the U.S., South American, and Europe. Silicon Slummin’…and Just Gettin’ By (Smashwords coupon code VT64E) takes place almost exclusively in the Silicon Valley where she has two government groups pursuing her, one U.S., the other Russian. She also has a stalker on a revenge mission. Both books, normally $2.99, are $0.99 on Smashwords, using the coupon codes, until August 1—lots of entertaining summer reading for $2!

In libris libertas!
