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
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)
describing characters can be challenging; the writer wants the reader to be shown not told about descriptions. I try hard to do this.
Book Excerpt
The Tower
Paula wore no make-up, not even lipstick, but she had pulled her short curly hair back and fashioned it somewhat to look stylish. She wore jeans, but Paula always wore jeans, these were clean and cut lower to rest on her slim hips. Carrie envied those, hers were broader, the kind her ex had remarked were made for birthing babies. And the tee shirt Paula wore had a scoop neck that on Carrie would have shown cleavage
