Stopping Time - 99 cents now, free soon!

Stopping Time, Part 1, by Melissa Marr, is currently 99 cents to pre-order in the Kindle store, but the author says that it will be free upon release, which is March 16. Stopping Time, Part 2 is also available to pre-order for 99 cents (so far, I don't see any indication that this one will be free); combined, the two form a between-the-books sequel to Ink Exchange ($5.59), the second in her Wicked Lovely series, which continues with Fragile Eternity ($9.99 Kindle; releasing in paperback March 23).

Part 1
An exciting e-story original sequel to INK EXCHANGE! Leslie walked away from the Dark Court, determined to reclaim her life and live it on her own terms-even if it meant leaving behind the two faeries who love her. She knows Niall and Irial watch over her, and she would give almost anything to keep them from hurting. But she resists the pull to be with either one of them. Someone knows about Leslie-s past, however, and is intent on using her to reach the fey. And he doesn-t care who gets hurt....

Part 2
When Leslie left the Dark Court for her own good, she never imagined she could be the instrument by which someone threatened Irial or Niall. When her darkest past catches up with her, and she must figure out how to keep the fey she loves safe-and how to save herself.

So far, only Part 1 is up at Barnes & Noble, but it is already free to pre-order. Update: Stopping Time, Part 2 is now available at B&N and is free to pre-order. That should mean that this title will be free at Amazon as well, once they catch up on pricing.

Fictionwise doesn't have them for free, but you can pre-order Part 1 for a penny and Part 2 for between 42 and 84 cents (use March2010 for 10% off, club members get additional 15%).

The Dark Tide - 99 cents now, free soon!

The Dark Tide, by Andrew Gross, is currently 99 cents in the Kindle store and at Fictionwise, but should be free soon (maybe not today, but usually within a day or two of this type of release) in the Kindle store.

Book Description
On the morning Karen Friedman learns that her husband, a hedge fund manager, has been tragically killed, Detective Ty Hauck begins his investigation of another man's death in a suspicious hit-and-run in Karen's hometown. The two seemingly unrelated tragedies are about to plunge a beautiful widow and a determined investigator into a maelstrom of murder, vast sums of missing money, and international conspiracy.This special free edition includes an excerpt from Andrew Gross's newest novel, Reckless.

For those with a nook (sorry, ereader format only), check HERE at Fictionwise. I doubt this will drop all the way to free, but with the current MARCH2010 coupon for 10% off and a club membership, it'll only cost you 65 cents and you'll get 29 cents back in micropay.

Rides a Dread Legion - 99 cents now, free soon!

Rides a Dread Legion, by Raymond E. Feist, is currently 99 cents in the Kindle store and at Fictionwise, but should be free soon (maybe not today, but usually within a day or two of this type of release or at least after the official release date) in the Kindle store.

Book Description
The last remnants of an ancient advanced race, the Clan of the Seven Stars, are returning at long last to their lost homeworld, Midkemia-not as friends, but as would-be conquerors. Led by the conjurer Laromendis, they are fleeing the relentless demon hordes that are sweeping through their galaxy and destroying the elves' vast empire planet by planet. Only by escaping to Midkemia and brutally overtaking the war-weary world can the last remnants of a mighty civilization hope to survive . . . if the Dread Legion does not pursue them through the rift. The magician Pug, Midkemia's brave and constant defender, is all too familiar with the Demon King Maarg and his minions and their foul capacity for savagery and horror, and he recognizes the even graver threat that is following on the heels of the elven invasion. The onslaught to come will dwarf every dire catastrophe his imperiled world has previously withstood, and there is no magical champion in all of Midkemia powerful enough to prevent it. Only one path remains for Pug and Midkemia's clandestine protectors, the Conclave of Shadows: forging an alliance of formidable magical talents, from the demon-dealing warlock Amirantha, brother of Pug's hated foe, and the demon-taming cleric Sandreena, to the elven Queen Miranda, to the warrior Tomas. However, uniting enemies and bitter, vengeful former lovers will be no easy task, and even together they may ultimately be unable to turn the death tide. But a failure to do so will most certainly ensure Midkemia's doom.This special free edition includes an excerpt from Raymond E. Feist's newest Demonwar Saga novel, At the Gates of Darkness.

For those with a nook (sorry, ereader format only), check HERE at Fictionwise. I doubt this will drop all the way to free, but with the current MARCH2010 coupon for 10% off and a club membership, it'll only cost you 65 cents and you'll get 29 cents back in micropay.
