OCTOBER GIVEAWAY

 




Suspense Sisters: October Giveaway

Win a free book! Roxanne Rustand

Do you have a favorite destination that you'd like to visit often? Or a recurring event you look forward to?

Writers can end up being a solitary lot--even in the midst of raising a family and holding a "day job." For those of us who write full-time and spend endless hours huddled over a computer in an office, that can definitely be true. 


So, when an annual writer's conference like Novelists Inc. comes along, it's a joy to see so many other writers, exchange the latest industry information, and attend wonderful workshops. 

As always, I attended in late September, at the Tradewinds Resort on St. Pete's  Beach in Florida. This is a sunset along the beach.  💕

Even traveling back and forth from the Upper Midwest was so much fun, just having that extended time to talk with a friend who is also a writer. 

I always take intensive notes at this conference and type them up at home. I ended up with 61 typed pages this year! Listening, taking notes, and then transcribing them helps me process all of that information, because I'm not an auditory learner. 

Without the tactile process of writing and then typing notes, the information flits away like butterflies. 😁  What type of learner are you?

One more photo from the conference: do you recognize any of these writers?








Do you have a regular event or trip that you love taking year after year? I'd love to hear about it!

 

Last month, I had a new release, Dangerous December, which is for sale on Amazon HERE.  

It's a heartwarming, character-driven Christian light romantic suspense, with an unexpected second chance at love.

It's FREE on Kindle Unlimited(KU) or just $4.99 to buy.


Leave a comment, and you will be in a drawing for a free e-copy of my Christian romantic suspense, Dangerous Storm.

Wishing you all my best for a beautiful autumn!

Review- Girl Lost by Kate Angelo

 Back Cover Copy:

A LOST BABY 
Luna Rosati found acceptance and comfort with her childhood foster family, but when she became pregnant at sixteen, she gave the baby up for adoption and left without a word. Now a CIA counterintelligence officer, Luna wants to reconcile her fractured sense of self by finding the only blood family she has--the teenage daughter she's never met. As Luna closes in on learning the girl's identity with the help of her mentor, Stryker, she prepares to meet him in her old neighborhood--the last place she wants to be. Then Stryker is captured.    

AN INESCAPABLE PAST 
Special Agent Corbin King changed his last name to escape the shadow of his convicted father serving a life sentence. When he runs into Luna, the object of his failed teenage romance, the two must put their pasts aside and work together to expose a secret that someone's willing to kill for. 

A DEADLY THREAT 
But when they encounter a kidnapping, missing bodies, and murder, the secrets Corbin and Luna are keeping from one another are only the beginning of the threat they face with more than their own lives at stake.


I didn't read the back cover copy of this book before starting it, because I wanted to be completely surprised as the story unfolded. From the beginning to the end, the twists in this story kept me turning pages! Different story threads that didn't appear to match at the start wove perfectly together into a tale full of suspense, intrigue, and emotion. 

Without giving away spoilers, I will say that a few of the elements in Girl Lost are ones I haven't often seen in Christian fiction, making the story feel fresh and original. The characters were well developed, and I love that there are more books coming in the series, since the secondary characters are people I want to get to know better. 

I highly recommend Girl Lost to anyone who loves heart-pounding suspense! I can't wait for the next book in the series. 

What's been your favorite read so far this year? Let me know in the comments for a chance to win an ebook copy of Girl Lost by Kate Angelo. You can grab a copy here!
