Thanks for the heads up. I already got them from Harlequin, but I rather have them from Amazon, since I have the option of re-downloading them if i choose.
Also, the ones from Amazon are formatted for the Kindle. The converted pdfs aren't ok to read but you will find things like hyphen-ated words mid-line.

Havent read this but it might be good. Its in PDF. Please click on link, not picture. http://www.lulu.com/content/368044 In this medical mystery thriller, Doctor Carson Hyll falls asleep and drives into a river and experiences one of the worst nightmares of his life. The young intern is knocked unconscious and has a negative near death experience so real, so frightening that he thinks he died and went to hell. When others in the highly-religious small town of Ocean Village have similar negative near death experiences and wake up with burnt skin, they believe they went to hell and that God has abandoned them. Matters get worse when a local Satanic cult emerges to promote their beliefs and win over the town residents. Will the heroine, Chantress, be able to stop cult leader Kyle Mabus or will he succeed in destroying all known religions in the world? Bestselling author and psychic Sylvia Browne writes in her book, Prophecy, that, "...our beliefs are the driving force behind our behavior, our opinions, our actions. Without faith, without our beliefs, we're lost."

Well I have tell you that you do have an active forum here and I want to thank you for the good traffic you have sent to my www.floresgirl.com site. I was reading a blog the other day that somebody was complaining about author's dumping information about their novels on a site and not contributing anymore to the online community so I am sensitive to my interactions here. Plus I come from a very active Podiobooks community that has a lot of ongoing conversation between listeners and authors so I like the interaction. So in keeping with that spirit I am also going to include a link back to this forum so you can continue to grow your community. Cheers, Erik John Bertel, Author Flores Girl: The Children God Forgot

We don't mind authors mention their work if they make an effort to become part of the 'collective', but we do have a low tolerance for spammers. I'm sure you understand the difference.
If I was an author and all I posted was "Hi! I'm Vampyre. Buy my book LIFE SUCKS AND LOVE BITES. Thanks, Have a nice day." about 10 times a day, people here would get miffed.

Yes. It says the author is Vampyre, Harry Potter's biggest fan.

If it's not free when it comes out will it still be free for us if we pre-order it?

Melissa, I believe they guarantee the price (and if it drops in the meantime.. not the case for a free book, of course, they give you the lower price).
Free works for me.
I wonder what other goodies will be available tied to that Feb 24 date?

I received an email from the store-news@amazon.com this morning (Tues, Feb 10th) at 5:07. In the second paragraph the email indicated that Frommer's City Set and Cook's Illustrated "How-to-Cook Library" were available FREE on Kindle. I went to both in the Kindle store and only Cook's was listed as free. I called customer service and they agreed that the email said the Frommer's would be free instead of the $39.99 price in the store. The CS rep said he would contact the pricing dept to have the Frommer's made free. He made a note in my account that I should get the book free when I order it. Thought others might be interested in this. John
