Janet Grunst is Visiting Today!

And she's offering:
One Winner a Choice of either:
 A Heart Set Free or A Heart For Freedom

Setting Two Hearts Free is the third story in my Revolutionary War series. 

It’s a stand-alone story that picks up five years after A Heart For Freedom. 

This story covers the lives of the next generation.

Setting Two Hearts Free addresses what we now understand as PTSD. Trauma is a condition that has always beset mankind. During different historical eras, the invisible wounds resulting from war have been called by different names, nostalgia, shell shock, soldier's heart, and combat fatigue. In this story, the Revolutionary War is winding down but there are still battles to fight and many of them are internal.

Releases:  Oct. 6th

Here’s the blurb:

Donald Duncan joined the Patriot cause for noble reasons, 

battling the British while enduring deprivation and hardship on every side. 

The war has changed him, and now the battle is internal. 

Returning home to Virginia is in sight where a new life and his Mary wait for him.

Mary Stewart spends the war years with her family at Stewarts’ Green, 

helping them operate their ordinary. 

Daily, she prays for Donald’s safe return, eagerly waiting for him … 

until that day the evil side of war touches her.

Two hearts changed by a war that dragged on for six years. 

Two hearts left hurting and struggling to find the love and trust they once knew. 

Is there a path for them to rekindle what was lost, Setting Two Hearts Free?

Serious Wednesday: August's Contest and More Suspense Thoughts

 Best Friends Contest for August:


To win one of my KINDLE books for you...
(Your choice) ...
and to win one KINDLE book for a friend or relative...

Tell me:

A Few Suspense Thoughts


WHY do people enjoy reading suspense?

* The thrill of the suspense. 
* For those who enjoy suspense novels, 
the expectancy of what's going to happen... 
* the tension in waiting for the development of the suspense...
* the breathtaking moment that the reader wonders 
will the protagonist come through this? 
* Will she be able to defeat the antagonist? 
* Will he die before victory is won? 
* Will she overcome the awful event happening
 in real life/real-time in the reader's mind?

Reading a suspense novel can provide the thrill that quenches
the thirst for a good suspense novel to read, 
a crime to solve.

 What good suspense novel are you reading
or getting ready to read? 

Recommendations:
The Redemption of Caralynne Hayman
A book filled with tension, suspense, 
and a bit of romance thrown into the mix.


For some lighter Romantic Suspense, try:
The Spies of WWII series:

With Music in Their Hearts, Book 1
A Flute in the Willows, Book 2
(Book Three, Sing Until You Die, coming in September 2020)

or:

MY Newest Romantic Suspense:
Caleb's Destiny, Book 1 
of the Troubles in the West Series
