I’ve spent a lot of time on Sandhill Island developing the characters I love and some I didn’t. But they were important to the story. The small-town atmosphere has both nosey neighbors and camaraderie between people who live in the same area. And I decided it was time to move on and let them live their lives in peace.

But one last time to set the record straight, the island lives even though it has had many hardships from hurricanes to fires, to strangers up to no good, the island still endures.

Drugs and alcohol can change people—good people—who are under the influence of foreign substances and their lives and those around them are changed forever.

Dani was the older sister and always thought she was in charge. She took care of her brother, Cody, her mother, and in the end her uncle. She worked hard to keep the family together like a parent, even though she wasn’t. And her little brother was jealous. He was treated like a child, and he fell into that category. He didn’t want to work, that was for Dani, but he expected the same treatment. While his sister worked daily to scrape together a living, he sold drugs and maybe used a few for himself. Then the bad guys expected more of him and his sister whether she was involved or not.

Dani Brown grew up poor and hard working. Her brother, Cody, only grew up poor. Always wanting the easy way out, Cody ran drugs and lived his life on handouts. When they were young, Dani and Cody were inseparable, now Dani only sees him if he’s desperate. The drugs he samples and sells have started to rot his brain.

This time, Cody owes some big money, and the only person he knows to help him is his sister. When the cartel realizes she owns a boat that could run even more drugs for them, she is torn between saving her brother and living her life. The final Sandhill Island story pits sister against brother in a life-or-death struggle.

The series begins with Secrets of Sandhill Island https://books2read.com/u/3JRvxE. The next is Stones of Sandhill Island, https://books2read.com/u/bojOrp. I took a little break and wrote a novella titled Strawberry Sundae Delights, https://books2read.com/u/m2R8L1 set on the same island, Then the final Smugglers of Sandhill Island https://books2read.com/u/mdeZ85. They are all available on Amazon, B & N, and electronically through iTunes and other electronic media.

I hope you fall in love with the island the way I did and let me know what you think of the saga.
