Mim has lived on Topsail Island her whole life until love takes her away to a life she never could have imagined. The words, there's no place like home, ring true as she finds out that love isn't everything she thought it would be.
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)
Liar, liar, pants on fire. We've all been there-when someone tries to make you look bad. Does Kellie see through Anthony's lies? Does she trust her life long friend or believe her eyes. Anthony sure comes off as a good actor.
Book Excerpt
Topsail Island Tango
In response to her attempts to caress him, she was met with silence. In fact, Anthony totally ignored her once the bedroom door was shut. He woke in the morning, brushed his teeth, showered and dressed, all in silence. Then, once the bedroom door opened, he was on, like an actor on a stage. How could she explain this behavior to Kellie? It made no sense, especially since her husband kept Kellie smiling, with compliments and jokes, always entertaining her.
