Two More Five Star Reviews for Flotsam & Jetsam!

Three corpses strewn across the sand. Who are they and how did they get to Amelia Island?  State Park rangers Simon Ribault and Ellie Ironstone must find the answers while contending with a secretive group called the League of the Green Cross. Are the deaths linked to it? Or could they be tied to the colorful history of the island, which was won and lost eight times?  Mucking up the investigation is the crucial question—who will Ellie choose: Thad, the handsome local idol, and Simon, the clever, quirky bookworm?

Here are two more fabulous five-star reviews for Flotsam and Jetsam: the Amelia Island Affair.

Jody writes on Bookbub:

A realistic and intriguing murder mystery set in a national park. Loaded with mystery, snarky dialogue, and drama in some very vivid scenarios. First time reading a book by this author and was pleasantly surprised. Well written and great characters.

And Kindred Spirit writes on Amazon:

This is the first book I’ve read by M. S. Spencer and I’m so impressed. Not only does she craft a mystery that kept me reading, her richly drawn characters, realistically flawed, had me laughing out loud as they drew me into their stories.

I love Spencer’s realistic and intriguing storyline. I’ve been to Amelia Island, so visualizing the setting pulled me in further. What a delight! Don’t hesitate to read Flotsam and Jetsam: The Amelia Island Affair. I highly recommend you pick up a copy.

New Five-Star Review for Flotsam & Jetsam!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I just found a fabulous five-star review for Flotsam & Jetsam: the Amelia Island Affair right there on Amazon!

KC writes:

 "Spencer must have a magic wand that makes all of her characters so good. Sometimes they stumble a bit, especially when it comes to interactions with others but that's what makes them so believable. This tale is no exception. And the mystery keeps you guessing all along the way. Makes you want to wander into the park to see what else may be going to happen. A very good job."

Thank you KC!

Romance Lives Forever

Stranger Things are Sighted on Amelia Island than Corpses

I’ve told you about the crazy history of Amelia Island, setting for my new mystery romance Flotsam & Jetsam: the Amelia Island Affair. What I didn’t tell you is that odd things continue to happen on the island—and I don’t just mean murders. When I was visiting the island a couple of years ago, I saw a great crowd of tourists ogling at something. When I got closer I saw it was the Wienermobile! Yes, it still exists (see photo).

Couldn’t help but put it in the book. Here’s a bit:

They passed a large gathering on the sidewalk. Many were pointing and taking pictures. Ellie stopped. “Must be something going on.”

Simon stood on tiptoe to peer over the arms brandishing cell phones in the air. “Why, it’s the Wienermobile!”

Just then the pack parted, revealing a red hot dog in a bright yellow bun the size of a blue whale sitting on top of a souped-up station wagon. Simon turned excitedly to Ellie. “I drove one of these back in college. Great summer job.”

“You’re kidding.” Ellie looked at her companion with a mixture of awe and mirth. “You have hidden depths.”

“Aw, shucks. Actually, I think that’s how I landed the job in the park service.”

“I guess it really stood out on an otherwise humdrum resume.”

I’m talking about my new romantic suspense/cozy mystery Flotsam & Jetsam: the Amelia Island Affair, but this time it’s a little different. The ladies are interviewing one of my characters. Georgia Petrie is the hero Simon’s best friend. They’ve been sparring and sharing and getting in trouble since kindergarten. Georgia is in law school and an absolute treat for the eyes but a bit of a handful. She adores Simon and wants what’s best for him—which means Ellie.

I’ll let her speak for herself. Here’s the link:http://wildwomenauthorsx2.blogspot.com/2018/12/feature-flotsam-and-jetsam-amelia.html
