The husband who left for another woman, the marriage to the husband who already had 4 kids, the job as a waitress I took just to get by, trying to finish college as a single mom, and what story that started in the 70’s could be complete without a VW bus?

THE SURVIVAL OF MARVIN BAINES will be free this weekend, May 12 and 13.http://www.amazon.com/The-Survival-Ma...
AN ENDURING STORY OF WHAT IF
Marvin Baines seemingly has it all: a loving family and a great job. He is about to turn forty, and just like that, the realization hits him--his own mortality is straight up the road. That's not his only problem. Suddenly he is unable to distinguish fantasy from reality, and his often-quirky decision-making causes his whole life to begin to unravel. All he wants is an escape from his humdrum life. What he gets is something quite unexpected.
Just a reminder, Mom's Crazy:Her Bipolar Memoir, is free Saturday, May 12 and Sunday, May 13. Just in time for Mother's Day. It can be found athttp://tinyurl.com/7hyznxg

Thanks for keeping me posted. There are several ebooks from Goodreads authors that were to have been free on Amazon this weekend but are only listed as free to Amazon Prime members. Maybe there's a glitch in their system or someone who listed the freebies is new or in training and they missed a step in the process. I look forward to hearing what Amazon advises you. Thanks again.
Still free today on Kindle The Seventh Pillar. It won't be free again for quite a while, so take advantage. For thriller and action/adventure fans, a fast paced page turner. Really.

One of the other ebooks I had commented on responded that Amazon had fixed the problem with their book, so I went ahead and checked on all of the ones I had noticed weren't up correctly. All of them had been fixed, so I put notes up to that affect on all of the books. I guess if you have a book set up to be offered for free download, it's a good idea to check if it has been put up correctly as soon as possible after the giveaway starts. That way it can be corrected right away. I hope that you, and the other authors, didn't miss out on potential readers. Some people wouldn't think to point it out. They would just assume it wasn't free for them if they weren't an Amazon Prime member. Best of luck to all of the Authors involved. I hope you get some really good reviews put up as a result of the free downloads.

Hi all! To celebrate the first birthday of my YA fantasy novel, Down a Lost Road, I've decided to make it free for a month. It's available on Amazon, B&N, and Smashwords, as well as the iTunes store and elsewhere.
Every family has its secrets.For 16-year-old Merelin Lindon, the only secret her family ever had was the reason behind her father's mysterious disappearance, four years ago. But when an old family friend gives her a small, strange metal circle that once belonged to her father, Merelin discovers just how deep the family secrets run. Without any warning, she finds herself swept into a foreign world mysteriously linked to Earth's mythical past - a world with no remembrance of its own history, tottering on the brink of a devestating war with an enemy it cannot recall.
As Merelin begins to understand her own place in this world, she learns that her father may have held the key to unraveling all the mysteries. With the help of a fascinating and sometimes infuriating young man named Yatol, she chooses to hazard everything, to suffer things she never imagined, in a foolhardy quest to rescue her father and save his people.
But it may cost her more than she can imagine...
My YA sci-fi romance HERE is free today! www.amazon.com/HERE-Sci-Fi-Romance-Tr...
Milo Mitchell's life used to be charmed, but that was before her family dissolved, she went a little crazy, and her best friends started acting more like strangers. Spending Saturday morning in a treehouse with a stun gun for company and a herd of deer for friends is the only exciting thing in her life...until she shoots a fawn and finds her dart stuck in a guy.
Her gorgeous victim is dressed in a Brioni tux and armed with a hanky. He has no idea who or where he is. Afraid her dart caused his amnesia, Milo takes him in, names him Nick, and vows to help him solve his mystery. Soon the pair find Nick's face in a newspaper obituary, and Nick begins to have strange, ethereal memories of Milo--who is sure she's never met him. Suddenly Nick knows things he shouldn't know and is doing things he shouldn't do. When the Department of Defense shows up, Nick and Milo run--toward a shocking conclusion that could destroy both their worlds.

What's it all about?
Teenage twins James and Samantha Blake are caught up in a seemingly random terrorist bombing while on a school trip. Many of their friends are killed. When the twins wake up in hospital, their lives have changed forever.
The doctors are amazed at the speed with which James and Sam recover from their injuries and, when the twins begin to exhibit extraordinary powers, it is obvious that something incredible has happened.
As James and Sam attempt to overcome their fears and embrace their new abilities, a series of murders and disappearances start plaguing the hospital. The twins aren't the only ones with special abilities and it becomes apparent that someone is coming for them.
Will James and Sam be able to survive the nightmare into which they have been plunged? Who, or what, is behind the murders at the hospital? And was that terrorist incident quite so random after all?
Hope you enjoy it.

"The Possibilities of Amy" by Jaye Frances
Amy is the ultimate trophy girl—gorgeous face, killer body, and a vivacious personality. But there’s something else about her, something that makes her even more special. Amy is new. A transfer student from out of state, she’s starting her senior year without knowing a soul. And that means she’s up for grabs, available.
Infatuated from the moment he sees her, David is determined to meet Amy, and if the fates are willing, to spend the rest of his life with her. But his shyness prevents him from approaching her—until his friends devise a contest to determine who will be the first to prove their manhood by seducing her.
