Sort of.

Well, it’s not a contest. It’s more of an awkward, “Here, take this. Only if you want, though.”

No one is forcing you to visit Smashwords and punch in the coupon code EH33N to download a free copy of my novel Between Octobers.

FYI-You can get it in practically any digital format, so it’ll work no matter what type of device you want to read it on, too.

Happy endings have often eluded Grace Zuniga. Now she finds herself facing down deadly trouble, hoping and praying the pattern will change.

When Grace wakes up in a dark, confined space with no memory of how she got there, the fear is nearly crippling. She can’t surrender to it. Her children need her. She’s all they have left after losing their father. Though Grace is not sure she can survive, she’s determined to try. But to do that, she has to figure out who took her and how she ended up trapped and alone in the wilderness, at the mercy of a person who will do anything to keep her from escaping.

Stumbling through her bleak circumstances, Graces’ mind wanders over the last life-changing year, from one October to the next, reliving the most precious and heart-rending moments that led up to her kidnapping.

The previous October, when Grace stepped into an elevator, and into the life of sexy, enigmatic actor Rhys Matthews, a new chapter of her life began. Now Grace must ask herself, “How will it end?”

Nope. It’s completely voluntary.

Take it or leave it. And don’t feel weird. That’s my job.

But I hope you take it, and read it, and love it.
