Today I’m teaming up with eleven other authors for an ebook sale. For the next ten days you’ll be able to load up your Kindle, Nook, iPad or phone with some new reading material for less than you’d spend on a trip to Starbucks.
This is how it works. First I’ll tell you a little something about my novel and where you can buy it (at a discounted price). Then I’ll give you the links to the other authors’ blogs or websites, and you can click on over and take a look at what they’re offering.
My novel: Tiger Tail Soup, a Novel of China at War
Chinese brush painting by Nicki Chen
You’ve heard about the rape of Nanking. Perhaps you’ve seen Empire of the Sun and are familiar with the story of a British boy’s wartime experiences in Shanghai. But when the Japanese invaded China starting in 1937, the entire country was affected —north, south, east, and west, male and female, adult and child, soldier and civilian.
Tiger Tail Soup tells the story of a Chinese woman, her soldier-husband and their mothers, children, and maids. It’s a tale of fear and bravery, suffering and survival.
When the novel opens, An Lee is pregnant and her husband is missing. In the near distance she hears what sounds like bombs, but she can’t bring herself to believe that the war is moving south toward her home, an idyllic little island at the edge of the South China Sea.
Soon she’ll be surrounded by Japanese troops. And the war that engulfs China won’t be over until seven years later when the Americans drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In the meantime, An Lee will battle fear, hunger, disease, loss, and loneliness. If she and her family hope to survive, they will need all the courage and resourcefulness they can muster.
My inspiration for the novel was the stories my late husband told me about his early childhood during China’s war with Japan.
You can buy an electronic version of Tiger Tail Soup at the discounted price of $1.99 from any of the sites listed below.

Nicki, what a great idea! Your novel sounds fascinating and I also see some intriguing listings by your fellow authors. I think I’ll be loading up my Kindle.
I didn’t realize you’re also an artist ~ your painting is so beautiful.
I go back and forth between paper books and my Kindle. It’s nice to have both options.
Sometimes I’d rather have the real thing.
Wow! What a painting! Okay, 10 days. Arrggg! Must remember.NIce idea teaming up with fellow authors, too.
Thank you so much, Lani, for your support.
I am so impressed that you can paint AND draw. I’m a one trick pony. The TR pile just keeps growing.
I’m a one-trick-at-a-time pony. I stopped painting a long time ago. Can’t handle too many things at one time.
Nice to see you both here, Jennifer and Nicki.
Love your painting, Nicki. Your book sounds intriguing. Thank you for sharing the promo and looking forward to learning more.
What a lovely painting! Glad to be promoting alongside you. Your story sounds like a very intense and emotional journey.
Thank you, Jennifer. I recommended Seniors Sleuth to a couple of friends who are sure to like it. It sounds like a good book.
I think you would love it, Jennifer.
Thank you, Evelyne.
