The Sneaky Freaky begins in 1966, in the fishing town of Sneads Ferry, North Carolina. Naomi's husband is fighting in Vietnam. The sight of Courthouse Bay, Camp Lejeune, from her window reminds her every day of that fact. The reality of the war is everywhere. It's on the nightly news, it's in the movies, it's in the music, and all Naomi wants to do is get away from it all. A magic cat, omens, the stars and dreams figure into a big dose of reality for a woman caught in the hippie era.
CAROL ANN ROSS is the author of the Murder by the Sea series, The Topsail Island Trilogy, and The Blue House Series. Having spent her childhood climbing sand dunes, doing the beach thing, and deep-sea fishing, Carol incorporates those experiences in the works she pens. Her novels are full of intrigue, romance, and incidious intent, all set in picturesque south eastern North Carolina. She is a graduate of UNC-A and Spring Hill College in Alabama.
Naomi never showed her feelings; she kept them hidden. No, it wasn't because she was confident, as Mim thought, it was because she was so unsure of herself.
Naomi presented herself well, just like the cover of a book.
Ever know someone like that?
Book Excerpt
The Sneak Freaky
Had she been jealous of Naomi? Mim thought not. Was she jealous of her now? If she was, it was not about popularity or looks; Mim felt fairly confident there. But she did feel a bit envious of the way Naomi was in control. Whatever was going on in her life, Naomi did not feel the need for sharing. She did not wear her heart on her sleeve and kept her love life, her frustrations, to herself. Mim did envy Naomi’s self-control. If the older girl had failed at anything, she had never let it show.
