Winter Peril Please Nominate this book for Kindle Scout
https://kindlescout.amazon.
What is Kindle Scout? It’s a new program from Amazon. The crowd nominates the book that they would most want to read and people can nominate books for 30 days. Then the book goes into ‘review’ with Kindle Press. If selected Amazon publishes the book, which is different than self publishing. If you help nominate, Amazon sends you a copy of the book for free if it is selected. All you need is an Amazon account. It doesn’t cost you anything, and I would love to find out how this publishing venture works. So if you have a moment right now, please go and nominate the book Winter Peril.

Erica Mira, a Florida native, decides to drive up to Maine in the middle of winter to meet an investor, and ends up crashing into a tree in the middle of the blizzard. After climbing up the mountain to the chateau seeking shelter, she meets Gabriel.
Gabriel’s not leaving this chateau without clearing his name of his dead wife’s murder or the crimes she set him up for. He’s not had company in years, let alone the company of a woman. Erica storms into his house and he throws caution to the wind. Despite not trusting anyone, she’s getting under his skin.
Erica’s finding the clues about possible murders that happened. She should be terrified of Gabriel and being stuck in a house with no escape. Yet she’s attracted to him, and her desire is growing. There is a mystery to solve and she needs to figure this out before she gives Gabriel her heart.
Neither of them knows of the third person in the house, or what truly happened to his dead wife.

In the next newsletter I will share more personal pictures. I’ve been super busy. In the day job, it’s time for the Advanced Placement tests next week. This means it’s time to help my students, but I will be back to writing, blogging and sharing soon.
Thank you all!!!

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Kindle Scout work?
Kindle Scout is an Amazon program where readers nominate books they want to read during a 30-day voting window. After nominations close, Kindle Press reviews the book and decides whether to publish it. This is distinct from self-publishing — Amazon handles publication for selected titles. Nominators who supported a selected book receive a free copy, and participation only requires an Amazon account.
What is the plot of Winter Peril by Victoria Pinder?
Winter Peril follows Erica Mira, a Florida native who crashes her car during a Maine blizzard while driving to meet an investor. She takes shelter in a mountain chateau owned by Gabriel, a man trying to clear his name in his wife’s murder.

Is nominating a book on Kindle Scout worth it compared to just buying it?
Nominating a book on Kindle Scout costs nothing — you only need a free Amazon account. If the book is selected for publication by Kindle Press, every nominator receives a complimentary copy automatically. This makes nomination a risk-free way to support an author while potentially getting the finished book for free, making it a better option than purchasing before selection is confirmed.
