Please Nominate Finding Travis for Kindle Scout!

I recently finished my 15th book. It's a time-travel story about a man who inexplicably goes back in time to the year 1877. I have always loved time-travel books, so I'm not sure why it took me so long to write one of my own, but I absolutely love this story. It's funny, tense, sad and immensely satisfying. I think you'll enjoy it.

Now, it's not published yet. Here's the thing. I've entered it in Amazon's Kindle Scout program. This is for unpublished books only, and books that Amazon approves can win a publishing contract with Amazon itself. Needless to say, sounds like fun and worth a try. The approval process is a two-step deal. Amazon evaluates the book on its own merit, but then also considers the nominations by readers--you. I know most of you haven't read the book yet, but if you know me, you know how I write. You know the stories I tell. So I'm really hoping you could take a minute and nominate Finding Travis. Here's the blurb:

Travis Merrill’s life isn’t going according to plan. He’s quit several career paths, his wife has left him, and his only solace is volunteering to portray a cavalry surgeon at historic Fort Verde in Arizona, a place where time seems to stand still. When a weird trick of time actually sends him back to the year 1877, he’s boxed into impersonating the post surgeon for real. Unfortunately, he finds his medical knowledge is no match for the primitive practices of the day, and he’s forced to make life or death decisions, not always successfully. He wonders if he will ever be able to return to his own time, or if he might find a life—and a love—140 years in the past.

Sonnets for Heidi on Sale

My newest book, Sonnets for Heidi, will be on sale from April 10 to April 17. Normally $4.99, the e-book will be only 99 cents during that week. 

Here's the book description:
Trish Munroe never planned to be a caregiver, but circumstances have conspired to make her responsible for her elderly Aunt Heidi. Trish does her best to balance the demands of her job, her own love life and Heidi’s advancing Alzheimer’s, but the pressure is taking its toll. When Heidi passes away, there’s a bittersweet reprieve until Trish uncovers a family secret of forbidden love that takes her on a tragic yet triumphant journey of the heart.

The book is getting some rave reviews. Here's a sample:

I was as excited as the characters to know what was to come next. Another home run for Melissa Bowersock. A wonderful story of love thought to be lost, only to find out it was always there. A journey for sure as Trish puts the pieces together of a love so strong, that helps her gain the courage and determination to do what's needed in her own life... I could not put the book down. This story pulled me in like no other.

And...

Sonnets for Heidi by Melissa Bowersock is a moving read. Mesmerizing and emotionally charged. Realistic and relatable... Well told, this story touched me and pulled me in.The author does a nice job of telling a difficult story but does so with eloquence and grace. This is life. The real deal. Uplifting moments surrounded by sad ones. In a way, this story is about new beginnings. 

I send out sincere thanks to my fans and readers who scooped up this book right away. It's a real labor of love that had me crying buckets as I wrote the last few pages. Warning: read with kleenex!
