Hi... I would like to gift copies of my ebook novel, Across the Desperate Miles, to two interested readers on BookTalk.org
I do have conditions I would ask.
First, read the description below and follow the link to the Amazon book page and look it over, and make sure this sounds like the kind of story you might enjoy.
If so, send me an email at paca57 at satx dot rr dot com and I will gift you a copy for your kindle, computer, or other device allowed by Amazon.
If you do not like it read at least 50 pages before closing it.
Tell people on this site that you are reading it by using the "What are you reading now" section and updating a few times as you read. Complete the book within a month and write a final review of it in that same section as well as on the book's page at Amazon. State in both reviews that you were gifted the book by the author but that you are posting an impartial review. I will have no say as to the content of those reviews. I want your real feedback.
Here is the link and description, thanks for your consideration.
http://www.amazon.com/ACROSS-THE-DESPER ... B004GUSAUWKera and Rand Priven must journey 2,500 miles across their country, trying desperately to find and protect their children. It is good they cannot foresee the horrors before them.
In a troubled marriage, the Privens live with their children, Andrew and Alissa, in New York City. As an up-and-coming fashion photographer, Rand is obsessed with making a name, and a lot of money—to the point of neglecting his family. Kera slips into a frustrated and lonely disillusionment; she yearns for a simpler more meaningful family life. Planning to confront and possibly divorce Rand, she sends the children to a respected summer camp. Her timing couldn't be worse.
Shocking events unfold as independent groups plotting against the United States successfully breach national security, attack military installations, and wreak havoc on public infrastructure: the system breaks down. All services stop… no lights, no flights, no food, no gas… nothing. Law enforcement and armed forces seem unable to contain this terrorism or... revolution. Lawlessness spreads, seemingly overnight.
What chance do these two average, unprepared, and conflicted people have for surviving such a hostile situation? Will the challenge pull them together or rip them further apart? Who will they meet on their journey across America? What will they learn? Will they ever see their children again?
