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)
Yeah, just what are you supposed to do if you have a great figure? Personally, I've never had the problem, but Mim did and she had been brought up to be modest. She'd been sheltered her whole life and then along comes Anthony. Boy oh boy, does he open up the windows to the world.
Book Excerpt
Topsail Island Tango
Mim could hear the old biddies yakety yacking about what should and shouldn’t be done and who she should be dating and what she should be wearing. Purposely she’d worn the brown dress, the one that reached just below her knees. The sleeves were quarter length and the neckline was nearly crew. Still, the clingy material did show off her shape, but there was nothing she could do about that. God had blessed her with an hourglass figure. Mim liked that figure. She liked the attention it drew, but It galled her to no end the way some of the people of Topsail Island were always passing judgement. It was as if she was being blamed for having a nice figure. What do they expect me to do, wear flour sacks? She thought.
