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

One of the great things about being an author, is getting to design your characters however you please.
My character Don is a composite of several people I have known, and though it has been years since I've seen or spoken to those people, I get to keep them alive through print. I like to think I have written them a little better in some places and with just enough rough edges to make them more interesting.
Book Excerpt
The Tower
Don ran a hand through his thick blond hair as he drove southward into Surf City. His fingers touching the crew neck of his tee shirt, he felt the strands of his hair. It hadn’t been that many years since he’d worn it high and tight, now the length made him feel a little younger, freer than his time in the military. Being an undercover cop had its advantages, he got to wear his hair like he wanted, wear more comfortable clothing, say sir to whom he pleased. He pulled his fingers through his hair once again, a couple more inches and he could wear it in a ponytail like he had in college.
