APRIL GIVEAWAY

 

A New Release - Amish Country Killer – And a Giveaway!

 

It’s release week for Amish Country Killer!

What if the answers you seek could cost you your life?

In Amish Country Killer, Chief of Police Diana Fisher reopens the haunting case of her mother’s disappearance—only to find herself in the crosshairs of a deadly killer. But this isn’t just about her. Someone is terrorizing the Amish community, and as the body count rises, the connection between past and present becomes even more sinister.

Enter Detective Micah Nissley, a man with his own painful past. His fiancée vanished ten years ago without a trace. Now, as he and Diana unravel the dark secrets hidden in this peaceful town, one question looms: Is history repeating itself?

With suspense crackling, Amish Country Killer was a challenging book to write involving a relentless killer who will stop at nothing to keep the truth buried.

But here’s a question for you, suspense lovers—if you were Diana, would you risk it all to uncover the past, knowing a killer is watching your every move?

Let’s hear your thoughts! What’s your take on reopening cold cases—justice or a dangerous game? Drop a comment below!

I’ll be giving away a copy of Amish Country Killer to someone. Be sure to leave your email address so that I can contact you!

Farm and Ranch Values

by Sharon Dunn

 I live in a state that is mostly agricultural and my late husband was raised on a ranch in Eastern Montana. People who live off the land have a different mindset than other people. There is so much to admire about these tough salt of the earth people where a good year is when you break even. Like many of my books, my June release Targeted Montana Witness partly takes place on a ranch. In the years that I have been around farm and ranch people, I have found three values that most of them seem to have in common. 

First, regardless of past history or disputes, you help a neighbor in need. This means that if your neighbor's car has broken down or slid in a ditch, you stop to help. When someone suffers a setback or a loss, you find a way to help them that doesn't cause embarrassment.  

Second, people who live off the land throw almost nothing away. This isn't because they are junk collectors. When you live miles from the nearest tractor repair or auto parts store having old cars and tractors around means you might already have the part you need to fix what is broken down. Scrap metal can be welded and reshaped to repair things. 

Three, even if you are doing well financially, it is considered poor taste to show off that that is the case. This means not driving expensive trucks. A nice truck is fine but an obnoxious one that screams "I have money" is not.  Years ago, my husband leased some land next to two brothers who were the top bull breeders in the nation. They were probably millionaires. Yet, I watched those men wearing shirts with cut off sleeves and climbing into tractors on hot days and working along side their hired hands. 

So much to admire about people who live close to the land. What is your experience with farm and ranch people? Did you grow up in the country? Do you share some of these values?  Leave a comment along with your email address. I will be picking three winners to receive a pre-release copy of Targeted Montana Witness (USA only). Also if you want to sign up for my newletter, where there are chances to win copies of books as well, you can go to my website at www.sharondunnbooks.net. 

 

What's HOT in Inspirational Suspense

 Wondering what's new in inspirational suspense and mystery? Seeking Evil, Book Three of Hallowed Halls Series, by our own Mary Alford was released just this past week! Here's a little bit about it--

No one knows where she is. . .

When BAU Agent Sierra Parker's car dies in the middle of nowhere Wyoming, she breaks a critical rule by catching a ride with a kind stranger. This decision leads her straight into the lair of a serial killer, where she discovers she isn't the first victim. Barrels containing the remains of those who went before her line a wall proving none of them escaped their captor. Can Sierra outwit the seasoned killer to save her life, or will she become the latest victim buried in a barrel?

The last Agent Zeke London heard from Sierra was when she told him she needed to get away to figure things out between them. That was over a week ago and his calls have been met with radio silence. Can he do the impossible and locate Sierra in the middle of the mountains before it's too late?

Find out in the next book in the Hallowed Halls Series!

You can buy Seeking Evil from the Hallowed Halls series HERE  or read it on KU!

Have a great week of reading, lovers of inspirational suspense and mystery!

After being attacked in her workplace, Jillian Welch fears the worst—the mobsters behind her fiancé’s murder have found her. Uncertain of her safety in witness protection, she turns to Sheriff Luke Mayfair for help. But clues point to an obsessed fan of Jillian’s anonymous nightly podcast as her assailant.
