Washington, D.C. author Rod Kierkegaard, Jr. releases holiday murder-mystery "Family Cursemas" for free, via Smashwords, for a limited time.
By Michael Smith (Veshengro)
Rod Kierkegaard, Jr. spins a sharp and mysterious holiday murder that should appeal to a broad audience.
Family Cursemas is the first installment in Mr. Kierkegaard’s Megamillionaire Murders series, a brief synopsis of which is below:
"When the wealthy Goodman family assembles for its gloomy annual holiday reunion in their divorced mother’s crumbling mansion, Holly Singletary is pressed into service to help cater the Christmas Eve dinner. When 'the storm of the century' hits, the attendees have more than a blackout to worry about. Someone – or something – is killing off the Goodman family one by one.
Only Holly can solve the mystery of the murderer’s identity before her first-grade sweetheart becomes the final victim…"
Marketing director Lisa Gus shares news of the encouraging response to Family Cursemas‘ initial test release: "With several hundred downloads in the first hours of release, we hope our readers will share Family Cursemas with friends and family this New Year’s," Lisa reports. "Rod Kierkegaard, Jr. spins a sharp and mysterious holiday murder that should appeal to a broad audience."
Professionally edited by another Curiosity Quills Press author, Vicki Keire, Family Cursemas is bound to make a splash, along with Rod Kierkegaard, Jr.’s other currently available work, The Department of Magic.

Curiosity Quills Press (http://curiosityquills.com), launched its independent publishing imprint in June, 2011 by writers, for writers, out of a common frustration with the state of publishing today. Instead of relying on readers to sift through the so-called "Amazon slush-pile", CQ presents a uniformly top-notch level of quality, tastefully curated, hard-hitting storylines, and memorable characters readers won't forget amidst their Kindle downloading sprees.
We know it's hard to stand out from the crowd when it's millions large, but Curiosity Quills Press helps level the playing field through its members' innovative social media approach, a transparent culture, and a deeply passionate team.
It is not often that you get something for nothing, especially in the E-Novel department. Therefore I suggest you go and download the book. You can always get rid of if again if you don't like it without any waste.
I must say that I have not read the book as yet but, he what... it's free, at least for the moment... so hurry. And unlike an E-book from Amazon this one you can actually share with family and friends without, it would appear, infringing on any laws.
