This is the last day I’m offering a FREE KINDLE BOOK of my novel, TAKE THE MONEY: ROMANTIC SUSPENSE IN COSTA RICA.
You may wonder how an Indiana author decided to write a book about Costa Rica. My inspiration came the year after my husband and I retired and spent several months living in San Jose. We had traveled through Europe and all over the United States by that time, but it seemed that Costa Rica had special charms we hadn’t found anywhere else.
When you think of Costa Rica, you picture beaches and rain forests. But in fact, Costa Rica is also known as “Little Switzerland” due to it’s verdant countryside and mountains. The air is crisp and clear, the weather near perfect. Visiting downtown San Jose , you hear numerous languages from all over the world. Everyone loves Costa Rica.
Many Americans have permanent residences in Costa Rica. We were tempted to move there, but realized how inconvenient it would be for our children if one of us got very sick. Not to mention the legal hassles involved in passing away in a foreign country. So, we came back home, and that’s when I enrolled in a creative writing class at Indiana State University, and began writing Take The Money.

Here’s a brief synopsis:
What would you do if you witnessed a murder and the victim gave you $60,000 just before he died? Should you keep the money or call the police? Julie Lawson has only moments to decide.
Julie goes for a drive in her boss’s new Porsche, but a joyride turns to terror when they’re rammed from behind and tumble into a ravine. Knowing he won’t survive, Kevin Dufrain urges Julie to take the money and run because, “they’ll get you, too.” She boards a night plane to the cosmopolitan city of San Jose, Costa Rica and meets mysterious businessman, Bud Jimenez, who helps her find a job at the “Memphis South,” a popular nightclub run by Texas beauty, Nellie Compton. When Julie discovers the killer has tracked her down, she heads for a beach near the Nicaraguan border.
Julie’s small plane is forced to land in a remote Indian Village where she meets the passionate and charismatic Dr. Enrique Rojas, a widower who runs a medical clinic for the impoverished natives of Costa Rica. Here, Julie thinks she’s found the secret thing she always wanted to do, but it may be too late. The killer is still on her trail and the DEA suspects her of drug trafficking. Her fragile hopes for happiness seem about to shatter. Now, Julie must lose herself to discover what’s really important in life.
Take the Money is a compelling tale full of passion and courage. It takes you from a corrupt, inbred, southern Indiana town to the mountains, beaches, volcanoes, waterfalls, rain forests, and all of the fabulous natural wonders of beautiful Costa Rica.
