Books
As much as I love the wine country, I’m nostalgic for the decade I spent living by the sea. My latest serial obsession has been writing, and out of the blue I’ve been inspired to write some fun fiction. The book series “Marina’s Tales” consists of several romantic / suspense / mystery novels for readers of all ages. I consider them a love letter to Aptos, California, my former seaside home.
The books are available at Amazon for download to Kindle devices and free Kindle apps for iPad, iPhone, iPodTouch, PCs, Macs, Blackberry and Android-based devices.
Go to Smashwords to find the books available in Epub, for Sony and Palm devices, and many other online formats.
Between The Land And The Sea
Book # 1 in the Marina’s Tales series.
Something extraordinary is lurking in the deep ocean waters off the coast of Aptos, California. Just a few weeks after moving to the beach town, sixteen year-old Marina has nearly drowned twice, enchanted the hottest guy in high school, and discovered a supernatural creature. If she can manage to survive her increasingly dangerous encounters with unpredictable mermaids, she might just be able to unlock the mystery of her past and learn how to appease the mysterious forces that seem to want something from her... and maybe even find true love along the way.
