My blog is one
of the stops on the tour for F.M. Meredith’s Dangerous Impulses, the most recent novel in her Rocky Bluff PD series which, by the way, I highly recommend.
Although each of her novels is a standalone, for those of you who prefer to read a series from the beginning, I've asked Marilyn to list her books in the order in which they were published.

Each book in the series is written as a stand-alone.
Whatever crimes the detectives and officers are facing will be solved. The
characters’ lives are ongoing.

F.M. is also
known as Marilyn Meredith, the author of the Deputy Tempe Crabtree series. She
first became interested in writing about law enforcement when she lived in a
neighborhood filled with police officers and their families. The interest was
fanned when her daughter married a police officer and the tradition has
continued with a grandson and grandson-in-law who are deputies. She’s also
serves on the board of the Public Safety Writers Association, and has many
friends in different law enforcement fields. For twenty plus years, she and her
husband lived in a small beach community located in Southern California much
like the fictional Rocky Bluff. She is a member of three chapters of Sisters in
Crime, Epic, and Mystery Writers of America.

Thanks for hosting me again, Pat. I'm always delighted to visit you.
ReplyDeleteMarilyn, the pleasure is mine! I can't wait to read "Dangerous Impulses." Great title, by the way!
DeleteOne of the members of my critique group came up with the title.
ReplyDeleteWonderful books!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lorna.
DeleteLove this series. Keep them coming Marilyn!
ReplyDeleteAnd a thank you to Michelle.
DeleteOne prolific and energetic lady. She's an inspiration for us all.
ReplyDeleteI always laugh at comments about my energy--oh that I had the energy of my great-grandson. Never had that. I work until I can't.
DeleteI love this post. So simple but so much information. I never read the progression before with the first books. I've got more reading to do now I know which one's I've missed! Hi Pat!

Hi Wendy! That's exactly the reason I asked Marilyn to list her books in order - so I could keep track of which ones I've read and make sure to read the ones I haven't.
DeleteI thank Patricia for her great idea!
DeleteNow that people have seen this list, they need to go see the list of the REST of your books. It's over thirty now, as I recall. I highly recommend them all.

Thanks, Marja. Check Amazon, I just posted a review from your latest.
DeleteMarily, you are such an inspiration to the writing community. You always motivate me to write faster! I love the cover for DANGEROUS IMPULSES. In fact, I may have to steal that glass for DYING FOR A DAIQUIRI!
ReplyDeleteNow who is going to inspire me? I love all your great ideas for in-person promotions!
DeleteI'm happy to say that I've read the entire series, but not in order. I don't think it mattered. In fact, I sort of liked going back to the early ones knowing what would happen to some of the characters later on. The members of the Rocky Bluff PD and their families have become like friends over the last four years, and I look forward to the next adventure.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mike, for all the kind words for the series and the great reviews you've given me over the years. You're just making me feel good since you won the award we were both up for in New Orleans. (Grin!)
ReplyDeleteI only have No Bells on my Kindle. So I guess I'll have to start reading your series backwards.
ReplyDeleteBackward is as good as forward, Evelyn.
ReplyDeleteLoved them all! Haven't read Dangerous Impulses yet, waiting for the right time! Madeline
ReplyDeleteAnd by right time means, when there's no interruptions and I can savor. Just know I'll love it.

ReplyDeleteYou are so amazingly prolific, Marilyn. I'm glad I heard you read at the San Gabriel Literary Festival. What an inspiration you are.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting one-line blurbs. They make me want to read the books. Great job.
