FREE BOOK TAKES YOU TO BOCA CHICA

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. The offer starts today, May 3 through May 4. Get it on amazon @   http://amzn.to/2cLBl0Y

FREE BOOK TAKES YOU TO BOCA CHICA where Elon Musk's SpaceX is located now
FREE BOOK TAKES YOU TO BOCA CHICA, before it became SpaceX

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.

FREE BOOK: The Trials of a Prochoice Minister
FREE BOOK: TRIALS OF A PRO- CHOICE MINISTER who supported a woman’s right to choose abortion in 1970.

At the height of the hippie era, a bearded minister wearing sandals arrives on the campus of Indiana State University and opens a popular coffee house where musicians perform between inspirational readings. But eventually, Duane’s involvement in liberal causes casts gloomy shadows over his once proud surname. His support of Planned Parenthood as a member of the Clergy Consultation Service provokes outrage among conservative factions of Terre Haute’s elite society, and shocks his board of directors. A divorce prompts a call for his resignation.

About the Author

Rev. M. Duane Sinn was raised on a farm in Nebraska, and attended the University of Nebraska for one year before joining the Army Air Corps during the Korean War.

Upon discharge from Hickham Air Force Base in Hawaii, Duane returned to Nebraska with his wife and twin sons to attend college and work various jobs: insurance salesman, radio announcer, window dresser, ladies lingerie clerk, and part time minister, just to name a few. It would take twelve years to earn his bachelor’s degree from Hastings College and finally, his Master of Divinity Degree from Iliff School of Theology in Denver.

In 1968, he came to Terre Haute, Indiana as the Methodist campus minister for Indiana State University and Rose Hulman Institute of Technology. Twelve years later, he joined LBJ’s War on Poverty as Executive Director of the Western Indiana Community Action Agency. Fiercely independent, Duane has always followed his own moral compass when faced with difficult choices..

ENJOY A FREE BOOK THIS WEEKEND

We’ve been hearing a lot about Elon Musk lately.   He’s the guy who just sent William Shatner and a few other folks into outer space.  Before that, he made lots of money on the electric vehicle, Tesla, so he’s just about one of the richest people on earth.  Which is why it surprised me when he picked a  near-ghost town in Texas to build his space ship.  My husband and I had been walking the beaches near Boca Chica Village for many winters, and loved the fact that it was so remote and unspoiled.  Glad we got there long before he did. Enjoy a free book this weekend that takes you to Boca Chica.

For your enjoyment during the coronavirus outbreak, I’m offering a free book: Chasing Their Losses

Why did I write Chasing Their Losses? If you’ve read my bio, you know that I was the Director of Nutrition Services at an acute care hospital in Indiana for many years.  Hospitals are full of drama.  There’s love, hate, sex, ambition,   and just about every human emotion thrumming in the air.  I always knew I wanted to write a novel set in a small town hospital, but it wasn’t until  after retirement that I  could distance myself from all that intensity.

Here’s a brief synopsis.

Will the haunting power of first love lead to Cara Mackenzie’s destruction?

ESCAPE WITH A FREE BOOK

Are you about at the end of your rope?  This pandemic lockdown has gone on for almost 9 months.  At first, it didn’t seem too bad.  Working from home in pajamas.  No rushing around getting the kids to school.  Plenty of sleep.  But now, it’s wearing thin.  We have a contested presidential election that’s putting everyone on edge, regardless of who you voted for.  And to make everything worse, it’s cold outside, and Christmas is coming!  Hiding under the covers helps a little, but not for long.

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.
