Trying the Free Book Route
I’ve been reading about all these authors putting a book in
their series on Kindle for free, and all the many downloads which resulted in
sales of the other books in the series. What made me decide to try it was
Sheila Lowe’s article she wrote for this very blog.
Because I’ve never been happy with the sales for my Rocky
Bluff P.D. series—not because of the money but because I felt like it should
have more readers, I thought I go ahead and try this.
I chose to put Angel Lost up for the free offering because I’ve always loved this book. I
enjoyed writing it and according to the reviews, readers enjoyed it too.
So from June 20 to 24 at midnight, anyone who is so
inclined, can down load Angel Lost for free:
Here are some of the reviews:
In
ANGEL LOST, author Marilyn Meredith
has created a thrilling adventure that weaves together the lives of several
point-of-view police officers, with Officer Stacy Wilbur and Detective Doug
Milligan in starring roles. I truly, truly, TRULY loved every minute of this
terrific story! So there! Read it yourself and find out why.

F.M.
Meredith has another hit on her hands with her latest installment of the Rocky
Bluff P.D. series. A fast-moving mystery
full of suspense, well-developed characters and realistic interpersonal
relationships, Angel Lost wants for nothing.
Meredith weaves a compelling story that keeps you guessing with a
satisfying ending guaranteed to please even the most discerning mystery
lover. Impossible to put down, Angel
Lost is the first must-read of 2011.

Reading a F.M. Meredith Rocky Bluff novel is
like having a wonderful family visit—without having to travel farther than your
favorite chair. Once again, Marilyn delivers a story you want to get into, a
mystery you want to unravel (several
actually), and characters you like and want to root for. In “Angel Lost,”
F.M.’s Rocky Bluff Police Department
“family” must really come together to save one of their own--with a little
help from an angel. A most enjoyable read. Thank you
Marilyn!"

ANGEL LOST is the kind
of story that hooks the reader’s curiosity from the first paragraph. It is
another standalone in the Rocky Bluff P.D.
crime series from F. M. Meredith, a pen name for Marilyn Meredith, the prolific writer who, among
other her other works, also writes the popular Tempe Crabtree mysteries. ANGEL
LOST is an engrossing story of small
town police officers, their lives, professional
and personal, and the inevitable interactions that their police work, plus living in a small town,
provides them. Words and
deeds travel fast in
these communities and there are few secrets kept intact in Rocky Bluff. The reader is placed
among these insiders hearing the same whispers and gossip.
ANGEL LOST almost
reminded me of reading the play OUR TOWN by Thornton Wilder where we become
deeply involved with a group of seemingly ordinary characters. Here, we come to
care about these people and we care what
happens to them, the hallmark of a good story. In ANGEL LOST, Officers Stacey
Wilbur and Doug Milligan are again the featured protagonists as the time for
their soon-to-be wedding races toward
them. But this is a crime series, after all, and the reader is confronted with
several story lines that slowly and inevitably converge and climax as the
wedding day draws near.
This is a suspenseful
story with a bit of religious mysticism thrown
into the mix—just enough to broaden the plot and provide added depth to
the characterizations. It should appeal to a wide range of readers
and will provide a
satisfying reading experience thanks to the
author’s smooth and fluid writing style.= Kit Sloane
"A
pervert threatens women joggers on the beach, a robber threatens wealthy homes
on the bluff, and an angel watches over over the townspeople from a downtown
window. F. M. Merediths' latest Rocky Bluff P. D. novel is a gentle human
drama about loneliness and change, through which the reader is pulled, page
after page, by an assortment of compelling criminal curiosities."
C.
N. Nevets is an author of psychological suspense. His stories have been
published in Genre Wars and Notes from Underground.
So why not try Angel Lost? What have you got to
lose? Only the time it takes to read and enjoy it.

I just discovered you and your books through your "Free Book" offering of "Angel Lost". If I read this one first will it spoil the storyline/s for the previous books in the RBPD series?
