A-Z Solomon's Compass Style: Book Release and Boatyard
Hi!
This is AJ again. I think I’m starting to get the
hang of these introductions.
First … it’s Carol’s Big Day!
This is Release
Day for SOLOMON’S COMPASS!
A missing
belt—her uncle’s prized possession. The lure of buried treasure. And a sexy
former SEAL who makes U.S. Coast Guard Commander Taylor Campbell crazy. What
more could any woman want. Right?
Taylor is in
Rock Harbor, Texas, on a quest to unearth her uncle’s treasure—a journey far
outside the realm of her real life. There’s one glitch. Taylor's certain the
buried treasure was all in Uncle Randy's dementia-riddled mind. Now he’s dead.
Former SEAL
Jake Solomon is in Rock Harbor under false pretenses to protect Taylor from the
fate that befell her uncle and the other members of a tight circle of Coast
Guardsmen called the Compass Points who served together on Point boats in
Vietnam.
Jake is
definitely not supposed to become involved with Taylor. That was his first
mistake. Taylor is attracted to Jake as well, but she refuses to wait for him
to locate the killer when she knows her plan will force her uncle’s murderer
into action.
But the
killer's actions are just what Jake is afraid of.
There’s a boatyard in our story called Copano Bay
Boat Works. It’s located on Oyster Bank Road, on the southern outskirts of Rock Harbor.
Carol modeled Rock Harbor on a real Texas town. Here’s
a photo of what is actually on the site that is the story home for Copano Bay
Boat Works.
And look at that!
It’s a mini-boatyard. But it doesn't look much like Copano
Bay Boat Works. Except for some of the equipment.
Any other coastal Texans out there?
Carol has a prize for the first person who
can identify the real town AND the real
name of this street.
It's a great price, but I can't tell you what it is. The contest will run throughout A-Z until someone posts the correct answers.
Good luck!

Today Carol’s blogging with Mason Canyon at Thoughts in Progress. She’s talking
about a few things she thought people would have asked about her books.
Tell her I said hi!

I love that Carol based her fictional town on a real town. I'm writing a book based on a real town, too, and I call it Ship Harbor.
