The holidays are coming! I will have 12 guests for Thanksgiving dinner at my house but someone else is taking care of the turkey. And a quick month later, will be Christmas. Books are always a great present for the reader on your list. Maybe they’d like a beach read to warm them up.

The Sandhill Island series was a so much fun to write and I am currently working on the final. There are two novels and a novella set on that fictional island off the coast of Corpus Christi. The island is a character itself and the people who live there all have stories to tell.
