Free ebook for Kindle - The Reincarnationist

M.J. Rose has placed her book, The Reincarnationist, up as a limited time free download at Amazon.com, for those who have a Kindle. Unlike several authors that have put up free downloads to promote a new book, Rose explains it thus:

"So why is my book free? It's because as a reader I'm suffering along with every other reader by a wealth of books but not a wealth of wallet, and every time I come to Amazon to buy a new book I'm confronted with more titles that I want to read than I have money to buy....[W]e all have limited funds these days, and so faced with dozens of books I want to buy, I've wound up with choice fatigue and so all too often end up buying the safe bet--the book by the author I've read before who I'm sure will offer a satisfying read and passing over new authors and new books that look interesting and exciting, because I just can't buy everything. That's why I asked my publisher and Amazon if they would give The Reincarnationist away for free so readers like me could take a chance on... well... me."

Best known for her erotic thrillers, The Reincarnationist is a departure from that genre, instead exlporing religious myth and past-life discovery. Synopsis from her website:

"THE REINCARNATIONIST is equal parts modern-day thriller, historical fiction and love story. With one foot in present-day Rome and New York and another in Rome some 1,600 years ago, ... [the]story is about two worlds consumed by the fires of intrigue and passion. "

Better buy it quick - there is no telling how long the deal will last.

Truth and Consequences


From Amazon:

"When deceit and desire collide, the results can be deadly-

Book One of the Hearts of the South series.

For undercover FBI agent Jason Harding, coming face to face with the grown-up version of his adolescent dreams is a nightmare. Kathleen Palmer sees him as a despicably corrupt small-town law officer and a murder suspect. Trapped in a web of his own making, he must see his mission through to the end and bring down the crooked cops who've run Haynes County for decades. To do so, he must betray the only family he-s ever known and fight his growing love for Kathleen, a relationship that could get one, or both of them, killed.

Determined to uncover the truth, Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent Kathleen struggles with her attraction to the one person who-s awakened her since she buried her heart and emotions in her son's tiny grave. Listening to her heart could destroy all she has left in life-her career and reputation. When the truth about Jason-s identity surfaces, they both face unimaginable consequences: Jason may lose his life and Kathleen the man she loves.

Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex, violence."
