When Elon Musk’s space rocket blew up last week, it was pretty upsetting for the folks near Boca Chica Village. It rained dust, sand and debris all over everything within 100 miles or more in South Texas. Not too many years ago, my husband and I used to hang out on the beach at Boca Chica. It was wild, upspoiled and utterly exhilarating. Still in a pristine state, there wasn’t even a public restroom. But there were plenty of sand dunes where you could go when nature called. We loved that place so much that I used it as a setting for a dramatic episode toward the end of my novel, “Chasing Their Losses” . Would you like to know what that sleepy village was like before it morphed into the SpaceX Space Station? If so, I’m offering a free kindle book that takes you to Boca Chica.

Here’s a brief synopsis:
Will the haunting power of first love lead to Cara Mackenzie’s destruction? At 31, she’s back home from Miami, starting a new career as nutrition director of Sycamore Hospital. While in a blossoming romance with Dr. John Drakos, she runs into her former lover, the suave and sexy Tony Cabella. Soon, she’s drawn into a dangerous web of dirty secrets and lies.
When Tony’s stepson vanishes under her watch, Cara must fight for her life, her reputation, and her career.
The police think Dr. Drakos’ jealousy could have provided a motive for the kidnapping. But unanswered questions suggest a conspiracy. Who shot Tony when he and Cara met in secret, and why won’t he call the police?
At the heart of this novel are four damaged people: John and Cara, whose intense relationship is clouded by painful memories and fear of commitment; Tony and his second wife, Gail, who gave up everything for passion and desire, only to find disillusion and heartbreak.
As the tragic events spin out of control, the heart thumping suspense builds, with twists and turns that take you from the verdant farmland and sparkling waterfalls of Indiana to the vast, lawless sand dunes and nude beaches of South Texas. One of the most pivotal scenes in the novel takes place in Boca Chica, now the epicenter of Elon Musk’s SpaceX project.
