Free Book (PDF) - Strange Angel (Very Limited Time)

Adam P Knave, who has one book out on Kindle, Stays Crunchy in Milk ($5.00), is offering a free PDF of his book Strange Angel ($13.20 paperback), to anyone that sends him an email by midnight tonight.

Book Description
Susie Sparrow's life has turned upside down. She's merged with Ferapont, who says he is an angel, and has dedicated her life to ridding the world of demon possessed people. Unfortunately she is also in High School. Trying to schedule fights around school, hanging out with friends and dinner with the parents might be too much for one girl with large flaming wings to handle. But don't tell her that. This volume collects all three volumes of the hit novella series as well as the original short story that started it all. As an added bonus it also contains a never before seen end story, exclusive to this volume!

Details and his email address HERE on his blog.

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%).
