Synopsis

Third Book in the Murder by the Sea series. .A rose sunrise, an azure sea at twilight, a lazy day fishing. It sounds like paradise. But just because Carrie lives on an island where life's pace is a little slower, doesn't mean that the age old struggles between right and wrong or good an bad don't exist. Sometimes the lines are blurred. Sometimes things are justified. But sometimes the evil is so blatant it can't be ignored

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)

Author Insight

fodder

Many years ago I worked on a commercial fishing boat. I spent whole days on the ocean and loved every minute of it. Of course, there were days when the ocean was horrifically rough and to me, scary, but the experience proved to be excellent fodder for future novels. I don't think I have written a book that does not in some way relate to that experience. I guess you could say that I've come to understand that everything is fodder. . .

Book Excerpt

The Tower

“When she calls out, the trap, buoy and line all have to be thrown at the same time. Then wait for her to call out again. Make sure you toss it all away from the boat. We don’t want anything to get tangled in the prop.”

“All the traps?” Don questioned.

“All the traps, and Paula will make a big circle, could be a couple of miles in diameter, and then we go back to the first one and pick it up.” She nodded to the gaff. “Snag the line, pull it in, wind it on the winch, it’s a lot easier than trying to grab it hand over fist. When you have the trap up, empty it into the box—and so on until all the traps are in and then if there’s time and space we do it all over again.”
