Synopsis

The Sneaky Freaky begins in 1966, in the fishing town of Sneads Ferry, North Carolina. Naomi's husband is fighting in Vietnam. The sight of Courthouse Bay, Camp Lejeune, from her window reminds her every day of that fact. The reality of the war is everywhere. It's on the nightly news, it's in the movies, it's in the music, and all Naomi wants to do is get away from it all. A magic cat, omens, the stars and dreams figure into a big dose of reality for a woman caught in the hippie era.

Author Biography

Thallasophile - lover of the ocean. That's me. I have a strong affinity for that entity and express those feelings through my writing--my books. They may span many genres but are all connected to the place I call home. Genres published: historical fiction, literary, murder, essays--they all are set on Topsail Island where I grew up. It is my way of perserving this wonderful place and the people with whom I share my life. The first book in the Murder by the Sea series is WATERLOGGED. Don Belkin is a former Marine, now a detective with the Surf City Police Dept. He's a conflicted man, to say the least, as he struggles to accept his past and find solace in the small beach town. Bitterness runs deep between the locals who have populated the area for generations and the "new" folks who think they've found paradise. Oh, Topsail Island may be the perfect tourist attraction, but in the summer it's just plain MURDER. (there are 5 more books in the series)

Book Excerpt

The Sneak Freaky

Naomi heard another crack of thunder and watched fingers of light spread through the sky as she opened the door and tossed the leg outside. “Here, Pitickity.” Cold, thick drops of rain splashed against her skin and she slammed the door quickly. Watching from the window, she saw the cat, chicken leg in tow, bound across the yard. Her eyes scanning the dark, wet, sky, Naomi tightened the belt of her robe.

“Not a star, not a single star,” she mumbled, then took the stairs to her bedroom, veering off to the right to check the upstairs bathroom and the metal pot she kept there for nights just like this. No water had dripped from the ceiling into it, yet. She centered the pot again, best she could, beneath the discolored wooden ceiling slats and closed the door behind her.
