In the future, you feel the pain and fear along with the reporter on the scene. Read a free sample of Fall From Grace without leaving your browser!

Don't miss Planet iPad's Free Book Alert, overwhelmed with 33 new titles including a Blitz of books auf Deutsch (in German), plus a new "21 chapter preview" of Toys from master of the tiny chapter James Patterson, and a curious Aimee Leduc "companion" covering the character in the Cara Black novels.  Black stymied us yesterday with a "free book" that suddenly became a $9.99 ebook, so we shall see what wonders the new day brings to the Kindle Store...plus, more about Fall From Grace

Imagine futuristic broadcasters giving you not only the images and the words of news events, but the emotions as well.  It would take a special kind of reporter to let you tune into his fear, anxiety, hope, exaultation and passion by way of special implants, a special kind of journalist like Tyler.

Here's the set-up:  

As a Caster, Tyler uses cybernetic implants to broadcast his emotions and experiences to the viewers at home. He is living a life of action and adventure--until he loses his job. Now he must hustle illegal broadcasts and take odd jobs to survive.

When his agent is killed, Tyler is framed for the crime. With his only allies--an ex-cop turned criminal and a bartending medical student--Tyler is plunged into the middle of a mystery and comes face to face with the darker side of the broadcasting industry. Tyler soon learns there is much more for him to lose...and much farther to fall.

A Reviewer Summarizes:

Extreme Broadcasting...

Imagine a world where you not only see the news but you can also experience it while it's happening.

Now meet Tyler, a `caster' who would do anything for a great story. After this superstar falls from grace, he begins to see life through new eyes.

Jackson does a terrific job creating a world that's sure to put you on the edge of your seat. Not only is the main character well done, but all the supporting characters are finely tuned as well. Even the psycho killer is someone you will love to hate. Take the time to read this adventure packed thriller, a great read and an author worth watching.

Keep in mind that this is a sci-fi thriller. 5* of 5*

Planet iPad Daily Free Book Alert, Wednesday, March 9: This DIDN'T last! Murder in Passy popped up on the free list briefly but now costs $9.99! plus ... a gritty time in the future when viewers plug into the raw emotions felt by a reporter in the thick of a story--Fall From Grace (Today's Sponsor)

This morning's latest addition to our 200+ Free Book Alert listings demonstrates a bit about the new wild world of ebooks.  Murder In Passy popped up as a free book in our scans early this morning, was quickly sidelined as "free" but "not available in the US" this afternoon, and is now $9.99. 

 
We've seen freebies sprout prices fast before, but Murder In Passy may hold the record.  The message for readers:  Grab 'em while they are free, even if you are backlogged with reading material.  Two more points:  First, all the bouncing of the price may indicate the book will be free once more to introduce readers to Cara Black, as it's the 11th in her 5-star Soho Crime series.  Second, the series might just be what you are looking for in a vetted read, even at cost.  Take a look at the whole collection here .............

Planet iPad Daily Free Book Alert, Monday, February 21: Richard Mabry's Thriller Medical Error Tops 8 Brand New Freebies, plus ... Class Collision: Fall From Grace, a Depression Era love story that is wowing reviewers (Today's Sponsor)

We start the last week of February with a "Prescription for Trouble" in the form of a medical thriller from Dr. Richard Mabry, which shares top billing with seven brand new nonfiction freebies atop this morning's latest additions to our 200+ Free Book Alert listings....

But first, a word from ... Today's Sponsor

When a love story set in the Depression captures the heart of reviewer like Margaret Williams, you know the book hit the mark.  Williams, in her 80s, lived through the Depression and credits this book for recalling those "endearing" days.  And proving that a love story appeals to all ages, Williams says it held her attention and she looked forward to the sequel (which is now available in the Kindle Store).

Here's the set-up:


What if you didn’t know your boyfriend was worth millions


Born to wealth and privilege, ten-year-old David, arguably the most spoiled, obnoxious kid alive, finds his greatest enjoyment tormenting the maid. That is... until he is kidnapped for ransom and left for dead. 


Thrown into a world he knows nothing about, he spends the next several years in an orphanage where his claims to fame and fortune only fuel years of torment. Finally, he escapes, hoping to make it back home. 


Instead, he meets Linda. Having lived among boys for so long, he doesn’t know how to handle his feelings for her. She is both irritating and intoxicating. Not that it matters. With looks like hers, every boy in the county is chasing her, and David, with his scraggly clothes and long hair doesn’t stand a chance. Then, when circumstances push them together, they both find that sometimes, people aren’t always what they seem.


Set during the Great Depression, Class Collision: Fall From Grace will transport you to a simpler time, filled with heartache and unexpected love.


The Reviewers Said:


The book is obviously written to a younger audience, and I am in my 80's. Nevertheless, I found that it held my attention. I loved the setting in the Depression era. That's when I grew up so that part of it was endearing to me.  I look forward to the sequel with great anticipation.--Margaret Williams.


I was so OBSESSED with this book and absolutely loved it!!!!!! Ms. Mackey brillantly plotted this book and I was up to the wee hours of the night because I couldn't put it dow


.....was caught up with the characters of this story within the first few pages. The intensity of the personalities of each character grew with the turn of each page. I found myself reading at a fast pace so I could be involved with the next experience that would surface. 


The story line became an emotion. I felt, angry, joy, saddness, despair, excitement, hate, fear, happiness, sympathy, and so many other feelings. The characters become family and I wanted the best for them.


Satisfying teen romance novel with a bit of history!  I absolutely adored this book. The relationships between each character are really strong. Linda and Davids romance was my favorite part of the book,it left me wanting more, to find out what happens next. I can't wait for the next book in this exciting new series!


Fates can have fun with us all. "Class Collision" is a unique love story of Linda and David...........a fun read with a bit of fable thrown in.


To call Class Collision and romance novel is the same as calling Jodi Picoult's work chic-lit. It's far more than just a good love story.....unforgettable characters who come to life on the page through their complex emotions and growth throughout the book.


Class Collision:  Phoenix Rising continues where Fall From Grace leaves off.  Most reviewers said they couldn't wait for the conclusion, which is now available in the Kindle Store.


From the Author's web site:

I love to write. Whether it’s music or stories, I’ve never been bored because my brain is always working a mile a minute. There is so little time to get everything done! If only I could write as fast as I think.  


I’ve worked as a dental assistant, piano teacher, night club performer, choir coach and school teacher. I’ve done just about every volunteer job you can think of, from running a food drive to a formal banquet and theatrical show. 


I love being a Mom. There are times when you want to pull your hair out, but nothing compares to the absolute unity of a family. Though I might search the world over, my favorite people will always be the ones with whom I have shared a roof, past or present. Kids are loyal and strong. If only I could learn to be a kid again.
