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.”

Guest at Wild Women Authors December 20-24--Georgia is Interviewed (God Help Us All)
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:

Flotsam & Jetsam Available for Review on Netgalley
For those of you who review on Netgalley, drop by the site and check out
my new cozy mystery romance Flotsam
& Jetsam: the Amelia Island Affair:
Blurb:
State Park Rangers Simon Ribault and Ellie Ironstone are
used to dealing with messy campers and ravaging raccoons, but when three bodies
wash up on the beach, they mobilize all their powers of deduction. Who are they
and how did they get to the shore of Amelia Island? Are they connected to the
secretive League of the Green Cross? Or linked to a mysterious Jamaican drug
ring?
Ellie, new to Amelia Island, must penetrate a close-knit
community if she wants to find answers to the mystery, all while deciding
between two rivals for her affection: Thad, the handsome local idol, and Simon,
the clever, quirky bookworm.
Simon, for his part, will have to call on his
not-so-well-honed romantic prowess to lure Ellie away from Thad and at the same
time use his wide-ranging research skills to solve the case.
I’d love to hear what you think!
