FREE BOOK: CHASING THEIR LOSSES

 The other day, I was walking by the paperback section at the supermarket.  A lady I didn’t know turned to me and said, “I wish someone would write a good book.”  I was tempted to tell her about my books,  but due to social distancing during this pandemic, there wasn’t time.  So, if you’re like this person– looking for something good to read–I’m offering a free copy of my Kindle book, “Chasing Their Losses.” for your enjoyment. If you’ve been following my blog, I think you will love it. And I hope it will take your mind off all the craziness in the world today.

This free offer is good  Saturday, May 1 through Tuesday May 4.  Download  it at  http://amzn.to/2cLBl0Y

Free Kindle Book, available on April Fool's Day
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? 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 Texas.

LAST CHANCE FOR FREE BOOK

This is the last chance for you  to download a free copy of my  husband’s memoir.  A PREACHER CALLED SINN will be FREE  Sunday, May 12 @

 

This book tells the story of the way  my husband and I overcame the difficulties of divorce in the eighties,  and defied convention to meet each other before internet dating sites even existed.  When we finally married over the objections of family and friends, we thought our troubles were over,  Little did we know that the worst was yet to come.

. Here is a brief synopsis:

“The seeds of my undoing as a Protestant minister may have begun with my name.”

In 1995, Duane Sinn endured a brutal media attack that nearly destroyed him. How could this have happened to a young man who left the farm, served his country, and struggled twelve long years to get through seminary while working full time, and raising a family?

Duane bares his soul in this raw, honest memoir, writing about the heartbreak of his first marriage, the highs and lows of his troubled ministry, and his unlikely entrance into the rough and tumble world of politics.

A PREACHER CALLED SINN is a coming of age story that transitions into Duane’s life as a Protestant minister who falls in and out of love, starts over more than once, yet always remains true to himself.

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. He has been married to author Lucia Sinn for thirty two years, and they have six grown children.

LAST DAY FOR FREE KINDLE BOOK

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.

TAKE THE MONEY: ROMANTIC SUSPENSE IN 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.
