Author Victor Grauer has written Sounding the Depths, a very interesting looking enhanced ebook that has been unable to find a traditional publisher. Victor tells me he is looking into possibly self-publishing at the Kindle Store, but in the meantime his book is available to read on his blog.
A brief description of Sounding the Depths by Victor Grauer:
Inspired by many years of research on world music, and drawing upon dramatic new developments in genetic anthropology and archaeology, this book will take the reader "on a journey through some of the deepest recesses of human culture and history, suggesting solutions to mysteries that, until recently, were thought to be completely beyond the reach of systematic investigation."
Sounding the Depths may be the first truly interactive book ever published. Thanks to the blog format, musical examples and video clips will be easily accessible via Internet links, and readers will be able to post comments on a chapter by chapter basis, offering their thoughts and any suggestions for improvement that may come to mind. I will try to respond to all comments and will seriously consider making revisions on the basis of valid criticisms, corrections or other suggestions."

What I’ve been reading lately.
Lately I’ve been exploring the work of China Miéville. Miéville is an amazing writer who has won a number of awards. Most of his books (I have not read all yet) seem to fall into the Urban Fantasy category; all are very complex and give you plenty to ponder. If you don’t like fantasy or sci-fi you might try The City and The City, which reads like a hardboiled detective story set in a rather bizarre city.
I’m also reading Here on Earth: A Natural History of the Planet by Tim Flannery. I’m actually reading an enhanced version on the iPad that was sent me by the app developer, Arcade Sunshine Media, LLC., to review. I have not finished this one yet, but so far I am quite happy with the manner in which the multimedia content is integrated into the book. As to the book itself, so far it seems less about the natural history of our planet and more about Lovelock’s Gaia Hypothesis. An interesting read nonetheless.
Recently I read Room: A Novel by Emma Donoghue. Briefly, this is the story of a five year old boy and his mother who are held captive in an eleven foot square room by the man who kidnapped the mother. The boy was born in Room and it pretty much comprises his whole world.
Before starting this book I mentioned it to a friend with whom I frequently discuss books. She gave a shudder and told me it sounded too disturbing for her to read. I read all sorts of things and am not myself easily put off, but I too have to admit to feeling some trepidation upon embarking on this particular dark journey.
After reading the book I can say that it is very good. I don’t want to give away any spoilers, but suffice it to say that it is worth overcoming any hesitation you might feel about reading this book as it is a rewarding read.

The King of Lies by John Hart (4 stars/146 reviews) has been reduced to $2.99 at the Kindle Store, Barnes & Noble and Kobofor a limited time. This edition of the thriller also includes an excerpt from the author’s newest book, Iron House, which will be released on July 12.
Overview of The King of Lies:
John Hart creates a literary thriller that is as suspenseful as it is poignant, a riveting murder mystery layered beneath the southern drawl of a humble North Carolina lawyer. When Work Pickens finds his father murdered, the investigation pushes a repressed family history to the surface and he sees his own carefully constructed façade begin to crack.
Work’s troubled sister, her combative girlfriend, his gold digging socialite wife, and an unrequited lifelong love join a cast of small town characters that create no shortage of drama in this extraordinary, fast-paced suspense novel.
Hart’s mastery of prose and plot belie his newcomer status as he explores the true heart of a man. An illuminating anatomy of a murder and the ripple effect it produces within a family and a community, The King of Lies is a stunning debut.

Some paid titles that have recently made it onto the Kindle bestseller list:
The Gravy Train by David Lender (5 stars/17 reviews) $0.99. Thriller. Same price at Barnes & Noble.
Finn Keane is a novice investment banker who helps an aging Chairman try to buy his company back, while the ruthless Wall Street sharks who drove it into bankruptcy do all they can to stop them so the Wall Streeters can carve it up for themselves.
Liquid Fear: A Mystery Thriller by Scott Nicholson (4 stars/16 reviews) $0.99.
Same price at Barnes & Noble.
When Roland Doyle wakes up with a dead woman in his motel room, the only clue is a mysterious vial of pills bearing the label “Take one every 4 hrs or else.”
Ten years before, six people were involved in a secret pharmaceutical trial that left one of them dead and five unable to remember what happened. Now the experiment is continuing, as Dr. Sebastian Briggs concludes his research into fear response and post-traumatic stress disorder. He’s backed by a major drug company and an ambitious U.S. Senator, but he also has a personal stake in the outcome.
Only by taking the mysterious pills can the survivors stave off the creeping phobias, sexual impulses, and inflicted madness that threaten to consume them. But the pills have an unexpected side effect—the survivors start remembering the terrible acts they perpetrated a decade ago. They are lured back to the Monkey House, the remote facility where the original trials took place, and Briggs has prepared it for their return.
The Bitch-Proof Suit by De-ann Black (4 1/2 stars/8 reviews) $0.99. Romantic comedy. Same price at Kobo.
When Blue (Bluebell) Byrne is up against the odds in the world of New York fashion marketing, she needs the ultimate in accessories – a bitch-proof suit. Her marketing experience has helped her create the perfect suit. She had it made by bespoke tailors, cut with twice the precision at half the price. No labels, no trends, just sheer cutting edge class.
The story starts in Manhattan. Blue is about to put her suit to the ultimate test when she vies against a boardroom full of conniving business rivals to win the top job assignment – to work in the company’s office in Dublin, Ireland, and settle a few scores at the same time.
The suit, her negotiating skills and gutsy determination helps Blue win the job. Within hours she sets off for Dublin. It’s the one place she swore she’d never go back to. Six years ago she’d left that city behind, along with Morgan Daire, the man who broke her heart, sure she’d never return. It had almost destroyed her once, but hell…she loves a challenge!
No Time Left by David Baldacci (no ratings) $0.99. Thriller. Pre-order; due May 2. Same price at Barnes & Noble.
Frank Becker is a highly sought after, expert assassin. When Becker takes a mysterious job, he has no idea that it will force him to delve deeply into his own past. Undeterred by obstacles he is determined to complete his assignment. But he may realize too late that his success will permanently alter his future.
Shipwrecked (Kindle Single) by Mishka Shubaly and Adil Dara Kim (Illustrator) (5 stars/16 reviews) $1.99.
In the Year of the Shark, a chance encounter between a ne’er-do-well writer and a tropical storm left him marooned on the deserted end of a Caribbean island and charged with the rescue of his four shipmates. There, Mishka Shubaly learned some valuable life lessons — among them that in the absence of whiskey, wine and water, urine will get the job done.
The Shop by J. Carson Black (5 stars/6 reviews) $0.99. Thriller.
At first glance, the shooting death of a police chief in a rundown Florida motel room looks like an assignation gone wrong. But as detective Jolie Burke plumbs deeper into the crime’s murky undercurrents, she unveils a conspiracy shocking in its scope.
In her relentless pursuit of justice, Burke follows a byzantine path that will take her from the lottery-driven fantasies of a yard maintenance worker to a Panama City Beach missing-persons case and finally to the island compound of her estranged uncle—the Attorney General of the United States.
And in a ski chalet in Aspen, Colorado, the table has been set for an orgy of death, destruction, and infamy. As the stakes rise, Jolie finds herself teamed with a killer. Only Jolie and her unlikely partner, assassin Cyril Landry, can dismantle the shadowy entity known only as The Shop—before it strikes again.

The war raged across the galaxy. Billions had died, billions more were doomed. Moons, planets, the very stars themselves, faced destruction, cold-blooded, brutal, and worse, random. The Idirans fought for their Faith; the Culture for its moral right to exist. Principles were at stake. There could be no surrender.
Within the cosmic conflict, an individual crusade. Deep within a fabled labyrinth on a barren world, a Planet of the Dead proscribed to mortals, lay a fugitive Mind. Both the Culture and the Idirans sought it. It was the fate of Horza, the Changer, and his motley crew of unpredictable mercenaries, human and machine, actually to find it, and with it their own destruction.
