The Readers Appreciation Giveaway is still going strong! Today, we have a note from another of my very faves – Sarah Monzon!

My heart is so full that words can’t express my gratitude to you, readers. Thank you so much for taking a chance on this newbie, debut indie author. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d be here in my journey (okay, maybe in my widest dreams). Thank you for your kind words and encouragement along the way. It seems when my self-doubt is the worst and I think that every word I write stinks worse than my daughter’s diapers, one of you sweet readers sends me a word of encouragement and displaces the joy-killing clouds hanging around my head. Thank you for allowing God to use you to be a blessing me.

Seriously. My heart swells from fullness. Thank you.

When you enter the Readers Appreciation Giveaway, you are entered for a chance to win Sarah’s newest book Finders Keepers (which just released YESTERDAY – whoohoo!!)

Three lives. Three hundred years. One ship that ties them together.

Spain, 1689

The same evil that stole her mother’s life stalks Isabella Castellano. Afraid for her safety, Isabella disguises herself as a cabin boy and hires on to one of His Majesty’s treasure fleet vessels. But has her flight from a known threat only led her to be ensnared in a sea of dangers?

Florida, Present Day

Summer Arnet will go anywhere to capture the perfect shot that will get her marine photography noticed by the prestigious nature magazine, Our World—even diving in waters haunted by great white sharks. When a treasure hunter with a ladies’-man reputation approaches her about a sunken ship at one of her dive locations, it may be the chance she’s been looking for to launch her career…if his charming smile doesn’t derail her first.

A past tragedy has left a hole in Trent Carrington’s life—a hole he’s tried to fill with women, money, and adventure. Could the feisty marine photographer be the missing piece, or will Trent finally accept that the treasure he seeks can’t be found where rust and moths destroy?

    I just saw this book available on Kindle Unlimited. I have a question. Do authors get paid anything when their book is on Kindle Unlimited?

    Reply
    • Sarah

      Yes. The author gets paid per pages read. A lot of times I make more money from the pages read from Kindle Unlimited than by actual sales.

    Sarah, I’m so excited to “meet” you. I just recently “met” Carrie, and my timing is impeccable- I’d love to win and read this book. I’m so happy for your accomplishments, particularly debut indie publishing AND SAHM because that call (SAHM) has been the greatest blessing and challenge for me. (Ninth graders and toddlers are actually quite similar, though ;)) Win or lose on this draw, I’m looking forward to this story…plus, I’m a Floridian…seems as it should be my duty, lol.

      I so agree with you about the SAHM. So challenging and get so many blessings. I was born and raised (mostly) in FL too so it wasn’t too far of a stretch to set a series there. ?

    Sarah is a new author to me. I’m looking forward to reading Finders Keepers! Thanks for this giveaway.

    Finders Keepers sounds like a book I’d really enjoy. I like finding books by new authors, though that makes my “want” list even longer since I already have a long list of favorite authors. I know I’ll never run out of good books to read.

    This is another new-to-me author. This book looks intriguing and “The Isaac Project” looks REALLY good. (I peeked at Sarah’s web-site.)

    Finders Keepers is a beautiful cover with love and the ship in the background is breathtaking. I can’t wait to hear Isabella’s story. Spain is a wonderful backdrop for your story. God Bless you an your family.
