Airport Waiting Edition–Free Kindle Book!

I’ve been sitting in the airport for, oh, about the last hour. I could have pulled out hexies, but I’m not ready for that because it is too much RE-PACKING to get everything back in my bag to get on the plane --- so I pulled out my laptop.

I’ve tackled email. I’ve played around on Facebook! I did edit all the rest of the photos from MQX so they are ready when I have a good enough connection to write a long post and upload – right now, I’ll be boarding shortly so that didn’t leave time to send that off to you yet ----

I did get a chance to wander over to Amazon and do some searching for a good read, and I think I found a freebie that I will like --- and maybe, just maybe you’ll find it interesting to.

Love is a Wounded Soldier by Blaine Reimer is free today from the Amazon Kindle store, and has received a perfect 5 out of 5 stars based on 10 customer reviews.

Category: Literary Fiction / Historical Fiction

Book Description:

Love is a Wounded Soldier combines the old-fashioned romance of a Nicholas Sparks novel with all the gut-punching grit of Saving Private Ryan to bring you a story of heartbreak and hope.

Despite growing up with an abusive, alcoholic father, and having to cope with the untimely death of his mother, Robert Mattox has retained his innocence and idealism. He woos and marries his first love, Ellen, and it appears his life is set for a happily-ever-after ending.

But World War II is raging, and its vortex snatches him away from his young bride. He finds himself fighting in Europe, witnessing and participating in the unspeakable ugliness and brutality of war. His love for Ellen holds him back from utter despondency, and his will to fight and live draws strength from his desire to return home to her.

When he finally does return home to Kentucky, he’s exhausted, jaded, and scarred—inside and out. His worst fear is how Ellen will respond to the changes in him, but when he gets home he finds that Ellen is different, too—much different.

Can things between them ever be the same again? Or will their love be the war’s most tragic casualty?

So I downloaded it! Check to see it’s still free when you do, as things can change.

Oh, other things I’m loving:

A little iphone app called “Flight Track” that sends me notifications when my flight is late, if the flight has changed, and which gate we are going into – and if gate changes, it lets me know that too. Things like this make my life easier!

Time to hit send and head to the gate!
