The Wild Rose Press just released my latest Sandhill
Island book and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Sandhill Island is a mythical place off the
coast of Corpus Christi where life is laidback – except when it isn’t. The breeze off the waves may lull you to
sleep in a hammock but watch out for your neighbors. You might want to sleep with one eye open.
Most
of the inhabitants of the island are good, hard-working people who prefer a
slower pace than life on the mainland.
And they are there to help if needed.
There are the occasional troublemakers who can take a tropical paradise
and turn it upside down.
Billie
Stone had the voice of raw honey dripping from its comb. Her mother, a former principal ballerina with
the Corpus Christi Ballet brought her to the island as a baby and helped her
develop her own art – music. She was a
favorite in the Corpus Christi jazz scene with her best friend, String. String accompanied her on the bass fiddle and
sometimes took over the piano. His deep bass
voice complemented hers and they mesmerize audiences far and wide. Until tragedy struck, and her family was
killed in an auto accident. Then she
headed back to the only home she’d ever known, Sandhill Island. Home to heal
her psyche she found her mother had become ill with Parkinson’s. Her strong lovely ballet legs had become her
enemy.
Joe
Franks was only a little drunk the night he hit the minivan and killed two
people. Now after a year in prison he is
out only to find his job gone, house foreclosed, car repossessed, and bank
account drained after paying into the Texas Victim’s Restitution Fund. And no one would hire a jail bird. He wanted
revenge and he was not above violence to get it.
As
Billie tried to recover from the loss of her family and, now her mother, she
discovered her mother held a secret she’d never told her. A secret that could change Billie’s life
forever.
Check
out the second in the Sandhill Island series, Stones of Sandhill Island.
I’m thinking there may be a third that involves smuggling.
I love island life!
