Thanks to Jocelyn Kelley of Kelley & Hall Book Publicity, I am giving away one copy of Questing for Uberjoy.
Book Description:
They called her “Überjoy” but her real name was Joycelyn Eberhard. She was a finalist in the Miss Teen Idaho beauty pageant, but now she’s gone missing-in China, no less. Her fiancé, Orion, worried when she signed up for the Peace Corps, but he never expected something like this. Her disappearance is shattering to him, so he has no choice but to head overseas and search for the woman he loves. His search takes him to the remote Himalaya Mountains in Nepal and Tibet, where getting help from local authorities is not as easy as he would have hoped. He is forced to seek assistance elsewhere, from intrepid special operations mercenaries and unorthodox mountaineering guides.
Soon, Orion’s search targets not only his fiancé, but the meaning of life itself. Set in the mountains of China-where earth meets sky in more ways than one-Questing for Überjoy is a quest for love. It is also a quest for meaning, as Eastern culture surrounds heroic Orion and teaches him more about himself than any experience in America. One moment philosophical and the next filled with danger, it is a story that could change your life and send you on your own quest for mountaintop enlightenment. This is book 3 in the Post-Lux Trilogy.
About Konrad Ventana:
KonradVentana(literally, “Bold Counsel through a Window”) is the literary pseudonym for an American author, scientist, and visionary of international renown—an award-wining university professor and research director; a proficient inventor of medical nanotechnologies, genetic medicines, and new cancer treatments; the founding president, chief scientific officer, and CEO of the U.S. biotechnology company that developed the first (and so far only) targeted genetic medicine that is capable of seeking-out and destroying metastatic (wide-spread) cancers. Of this important work Ventana says, “I have always felt that it would be a tragedy if the suppression of genetic medicine continued to prevent metastatic cancer patients from getting the life-saving medicine they desperately need.”
This distinguished author has real-world experience with both the intellectual challenges and the social adversities one encounters when aspiring to accomplish something that has never been accomplished before. Through the “bold and perspicuous windows” of his award-winning novels, Konrad Ventana throws back the curtains of conformity, looks critically at the ideologies of our postmodern times, and examines the potential for future development.
He is currently working on two literary projects: The first is largely structural—crafting a Hollywood treatment and screenplay (“Operation Himalaya Noir”) for Questing for Überjoy. The second is a postmodern mystery, which reveals a shocking story of our modern times that has never before been told, which is tentatively entitled Rise, Rise Dark Horses of American Noir.
He currently lives in Los Angeles, California.

I haven’t heard of this book before! It sounds so fascinating. My son lives and works in China and my husband and I have always wanted to see Tibet.
