 Yes, another free e-book. This time is my camping cookbook. This book will be free from August 5 through August 9. It has the recipes I used when I was a Camp Fire Girl leader--also used them when we went on a camping trip from California to Maryland and back. The recipes can easily be cut down or increased. When camping with my girls, we cooked over a camp fire-on the cross-country trip, used campfires and a camp stove.  These are not gourmet recipes--just easy and taste good. There are also fun anecdotes and camping tips. With the girls, we camped in tents--or just on the ground without a tent. We did most of this camping during the '60s. Have fun reading it.

  Isn't this a great cover? In case you don't know, it's great blue heron. It's the symbol of the supernatural element in INTERVENTION. For many years, a great blue heron would visit our front yard and dine on the gophers. Sadly, it hasn't been around for a long time.  The great blue heron has a special meaning for Native American Tempe Crabtree. If you haven't read it yet, mark your calendar for June 24 when INTERVENTION  will be free on Kindle from then until June 27. Marilyn

  On Monday, June 24, INTERVENTION, #3 in the Tempe Crabtree mystery series will be free on Kindle.  The last day is June 28. This is a fun book in the series with lots of unique characters. I drew a lot on the movie world way back in the '50s. Being star crazy, I chased movie stars to get autographs, read all the movie magazines, and the Daily news which always carried gossip about the different stars. My father worked at Paramount Studios and except for very few, had little use for the actors and actresses he observed at work. I heard interesting tidbits from him too, though it didn't dampen my enthusiasm for the screen stars. In a way, he was to blame because he took us all to the movies most Friday nights.  Amazon blurb: While Deputy Tempe Crabtree and her minister husband, Hutch, spend a romantic weekend in a mountain lodge, an unexpected blizzard takes out phone and electric services. Among the other guests are some folks from the film industry. When a guest disappe...

  Starting June 24 and going through June 28, INTERVENTION,  one of the Deputy Tempe Crabtree mystery series will be free on Kindle. This one is set in a mountain lodge high in the mountains.  The idea came from visiting Camp Nelson in the mountains above Springville where I live. The lodge in my story is called Tapper Lodge and it only has similarities to Camp Nelson because for the story the lodge had to be much large to house all the characters. And yes, because it's Tempe Crabtree mystery, there is some Indian mysticism. Marilyn.

  INSPIRED   The Story   Some fascinating and incredible women have inspired me. None, who by the way had a physical beauty, but surely an inner beauty. Being inspired and inspiring others provides us with shared strengths giving us opportunities to be more than we are as one. Those who inspire us, in the process, influence us by their intellect, accomplishments, and wisdom. Eleanor Roosevelt and Golda Meir have been two of my role models. Author Gertrude Stein and many other good writers have influenced me. These are people who dared to go beyond the ordinary. They were not willing to accept the limitations society or family set upon them.  If we are fortunate, there are also those in our lives who inspire us, expressing belief in us. I’ve had a few such people in my life, encouraging me to never give up my dreams and ambitions. I decided long ago to keep at a safe distance people who are angry, jealous, and mean-spirited. Really. Who needs them? Who made them ...

  To get free from May 6-through 10 Amazon.com: Murder in the Worst Degree (Rocky Bluff P.D. Mysteries Book 10) eBook : Meredith, F.M.: Kindle Store This is my favorite book in the Rocky Bluff P.D. series. One of my favorite characters, Officer Gordon Butler,  has a major role in this book.   Some of the suspects are old Seabee buddies of the victim who meet regularly at McDonald's for breakfast==just as many old veterans do in McDs across the country. When my husband was still alive, we often went to McD's for breakfast and visited with a group of vets. Hope  you'll take advantage of this sale. Marilyn writing as F.M. Meredith
