What is your idea of a GREAT BEACH READ?
As some of you know, I call my novels "great beach reads" because they're fun fiction in seaside settings - the kind of thing I like to read at the beach. For those who aren't familiar...
LEAVE ME GASPING is the first title in a series featuring female sleuth Del Jakes. A childhood friend is missing and Del travels home to coastal Florida. In a whirlwind of clues and revelations, the sleuth and her cohorts move from a grungy marina grill to a luxurious waterfront enclave; Sound side towns to Gulf side mangrove thickets; suspicion to trust; despair to hope—and grief to love.
ESCAPING CELIA is the story of Carly O'Shea, whose long-awaited solo vacation is derailed when her mother, aunt, and relentless cousin Celia invade her seaside cottage. Stir in a snarly runaway teen, a hot guitar player, a cool Southern boy, a gun-toting matron, and a wise boardwalk barista—and you’ve got the kind of summer stew that gives everybody heartburn!
But there must be almost as many kinds of beach reads as there are readers - so WHAT IS YOUR IDEA OF A GREAT BEACH READ?
