Free Book - What's Next . . . For You? (K)

What's Next . . . For You?, by Patricia and Robert Gussin, is free in the Kindle store, courtesy of Oceanview Publishing.
Book Description
The incredible story of Robert and Patricia Gussin, two retirees who watched with glee as long, successful careers in science and medicine gave way to writing, publishing, and wine-making.

Much more than a memoir and anything but a how-to-start-a-business manual, this book is a clear, easy-to-understand guide to reinventing yourself from real experts-two people who did it themselves and lived to tell the glorious tale.

Through the engaging, first-person, he said/she said narrative, Robert and Patricia Gussin deliver an inspirational guide filled with advice on why it's never too late to reinvent yourself, and why doing what you love (and loving what you do) is always within reach.

A must-read tale of joyfully switching gears, changing careers, and overcoming paralysis by analysis, take the mystery out of that all-too-common question of how to get from where you are to where you want to be.

Free Book - Rupture (K)

Rupture, by A. Scott Pearson, is free in the Kindle store, courtesy of Oceanview Publishing.
Book Description
Well on his way to realizing his dream of becoming a successful surgeon-scientist, Eli Branch seems destined for academic stardom. After years of research, Eli is on the cusp of a groundbreaking discovery that could light the way for the future. But, as Eli will soon learn, today's medicine has a dark side.While investigating the suspicious death of one of his patients, Eli uncovers an elaborate web of lies spun by his late father, a longtime professor of anatomy at Mid-South Medical College in Memphis. Instead of finding answers, Eli only finds more questions-and more victims, each meeting a sudden, violent end.

Eli joins forensic pathologist Meg Daily to find a common thread among the victims. As they piece together the chilling puzzle, Eli and Meg plunge headfirst into the world of deadly medicine-a world way too close to home.

Trapped in the paradox of ending one life to save another, Eli and Meg find that in this life-or-death race against time, one false step could be fatal.

Free Book - Someone's Watching (K)

Someone's Watching, by Sharon Potts, is free in the Kindle store, courtesy of Oceanview Publishing.
Book Description
Twenty-something Robbie Ivy wants to keep her life as simple and commitment-free as possible.

Who needs a high-pressure career, a relationship, or a family anyway? But Robbie's life gets inextricably complicated when her estranged father shows up with a shocking revelation about two teenage girls who disappeared in South Beach. One of the missing girls is Robbie's step sister Kate-a step sister Robbie never knew existed. Unwilling to reestablish family ties, Robbie is hesitant to get involved-until the body of her step sister's friend washes up in Indian Creek. Desperate to find her missing step sister, Robbie immerses herself in the unfamiliar world to which Kate may have fallen prey: the sexy, sizzling South Beach club scene.

Swept up in a corrupt, destructive society, Robbie searches for a cold-blooded killer in the hottest South Beach hotspots. But in this see-and-be-seen world, everyone is dressed to kill, people are dying for a chance to get beyond the velvet rope and someone is watching.

Robbie may have to choose between saving her step sister-and saving herself.

Free Book - Assault with a Deadly Glue Gun (K)

Book Description
When Anastasia Pollack's gambling-addicted husband permanently cashes in his chips in Vegas, her life craps out. She's left with two teenage sons, a mountain of debt, and her nasty, cane-wielding Communist mother-in-law. Not to mention a loan shark demanding fifty thousand dollars.

Anastasia's job as crafts editor at American Woman magazine makes life even stickier when she discovers the dead body of über-ambitious fashion editor Marlys Vandenburg hot-glued to Anastasia's office chair. Marlys collected enemies and ex-lovers like Jimmy Choos. When evidence surfaces of an illicit affair between Marlys and Anastasia's husband, Anastasia becomes the prime suspect. Can she sew up the case and keep herself out of jail before the real killer puts a permanent end to her investigation?
