Sandra Hutchison, an adjunct instructor who teaches composition at HVCC, is using a 99-cent promotion for her debut novel to support hunger relief. <\/span><\/p>\n The Awful Mess: A Love Story<\/em>,<\/a> which she describes as \u201ca sunny take on The Scarlet Letter <\/em>set in contemporary New Hampshire,\u201d will be available as a Kindle download for 99 cents throughout the month of September, and any net earnings will be donated to Feeding America. After September, 10 percent of net earnings will be donated.<\/span><\/p>\n She encourages anyone who gets the book and enjoys it to consider donating non-perishable food or funds to their local food pantry (for instance, HVCC\u2019s own food pantry) or to Feeding America (possibly via her virtual campaign page at <\/span>http:\/\/help.feedingamerica.org\/goto\/awfulmess<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n Hutchison, who worked in publishing and advertising for 17 years before she began teaching at HVCC, has a master\u2019s degree in fiction writing from the University of New Hampshire. Her short one-act play Nude with Bearded Irises<\/em>, is set to be performed in Sand Lake as part of the Circle Theater Players\u2019 One Act Play Festival at the Sand Lake Center for the Arts October 17-20. The Awful Mess: A Love Story<\/em> is available exclusively at Amazon. A PG-13 version is also available there for a limited time. Both books currently have over four stars from Amazon reviewers. Clicking on the book cover lets buyers sample the early chapters of the book for free. There is no paper edition of the book at this time, but free Kindle software available from Amazon or through various devices\u2019 app stores allows readers to download and read Kindle books on just about any device, including most personal computers, tablets, and smart phones. (However, a paperback edition is expected in late October.)<\/span><\/p>\n You may see notices about a free promotion the author had planned for Sept. 2-6. This week she ran into an issue with Kindle Select that has forced her to downsize that to a 99-cent promotion for September.
