A Journey Down the Road to e-Book Publishing

Marilyn Meredith is the author of 40 plus published books, including two series, the Deputy Tempe Crabtree mysteries, and under the name of F. M. Meredith, the Rocky Bluff P.D. crime series, as well as novels in other genres.  She’s taught writing for Writers Digest School and at many other venues. As a writing teacher, Marilyn has been a featured speaker at several writers' conferences. She is a member of Mystery Writers of America, three chapters of Sisters in Crime, EPIC, and the Public Safety Writers Association.

Marilyn will tell us about her writing journey and her first encounter with e-books and being verbally attacked for promoting them. Coming to a crossroads in her Tempe Crabtree series, Marilyn has some big decisions to make. She wonders if it will soon be time for the same kind of decision for the Rocky Bluff P.D. series. 

One of the first authors to embrace e-publishing, today all of her books are available for Kindle. Most are also are available as trade paperback, and a few of her Tempe Crabtree series as audio books.

All questions about writing or anything else you may be curious about are welcome.
