Blog #128; Two day give away of digital version of the BEST SELLING World War II novel by Chris McClelland: IN LOVE AND WAR

On November 2nd and 3rd, we will be giving away electronic copies of IN LOVE AND WAR, the BEST SELLING of all of Chris McClelland's many books.  This novel was Chris' debut novel, (my second full-length novel is being released in just a few months) and IN LOVE remains nearly 8 years after its release, a solid and unique read.  Just see what some Amazon readers have said about it over the last eight years:

Sadly, war seems to be a perennial constant.  It seemed to me that as long as humanity was plagued with warfare, we would not have a situation where my book was not relevant.  I released it in 2016, and with little fanfare.  No big publishing house behind it.  No ad blitz.  But more and more, people responded to the story. The numbers were in the hundreds, but they responded.   Combat veterans from World War II, Korea, and Vietnam told me it helped them heal.  So maybe it did some good for the readers.  I invite you to open your heart to your humanity.  Open yourself to Mack and Inga's plight, and I promise this book will affect how you see love and war.

Customers say

Customers find the book readable and enjoyable. They also appreciate the emotional content, saying the characters are real and the relationships are deep and meaningful. Readers praise the author's excellent job of interweaving stories and tying them all together.

You can tell that Chris writes from the heart. You can almost feel the humidity and smell the Orange blossoms of central Florida and feel the dust and grit and heat of North Africa, but mostly you can feel the perfectly human love and angst of Mack and Inga and their families, all through the fabric of this book. Kudos, Chris.
