The novel releases on September 25th but is NOW available for preorder at a special price: $5.99. If you add the book to your library on Smashwords before the release date you receive the special lower price.
For everyone else, the price goes up to $6.99 on September 25th.
If you want to kick the tires a bit before you buy, read the preview on Smashwords. I've also included an excerpt below.

Alligator Pear, by Linda P. Kozar
an excerpt from Chapter Fourteen...Blue Ribbons
"Without warning, the canoe slammed
into the soft earth of the embankment. He caught her in his arms as she bounded
forward, the bulky camera between them. She pushed away at once, or almost at
once. But the few seconds it took to part from his muscular frame, lingered
longer than it should have.
They pushed off the embankment with
their paddles and continued on, but a silence followed. Her heart thumped
against her chest so hard, she wondered if he could hear it. She decided to
concentrate on the scenery to take her mind off of him.
Cypress tree limbs clothed with
honeysuckle dripped perfume on their heads as they glided past. Saw Palmettos
winnowed insects, both common and exotic. Animals trilled, rattling through
leaves large as elephant ears. Bubbles and pops resurrected from the murk of
the water. A still, stealthy feeling, like a shadow followed them.
Was it the story? How laughable.
More the breath of imagination than methane; conjecture more than conjure. She
found herself shivering nonetheless. All of a sudden, she wanted to leave this
tomb of plants and animals long dead, as if lingering too long would absorb her
as well. Even as they paddled out of the darkness, she shuddered away an inward
urge to escape, as if casting off…what?"
