A-Z Solomon's Compass Style: Eskimos
Welcome A-Z bloggers!
And everyone else, of course :)
My A-Z posts are all about my new book, SOLOMON'S COMPASS.
Read the A post to learn who AJ is.
Dan, again. AJ didn’t make it back from fishing in
time to get over here to open up. That means . . . uh,oh. I can't tell you what that means or Carol may come running in here and . . . well, I shouldn't tell you what could happen, either.
This is hard! I'll just move on into today's post. The E word is Eskimos.
You thought there were Eskimos in Rock Harbor? Bless
your hearts :)
The top ten reasons why you won’t find Eskimos in Rock
Harbor:
10. There are no whales
9. There are
no parkas
8. There are
no seals
7. Except
for a SEAL :)
6. There are
no walruses
5. There are
no polar bears
4. There are
no igloos
3. There is
no snow
2. There’s
definitely not enough ice
And the #1 reason you won’t find Eskimos in Rock
Harbor:
1. SOLOMON’S
COMPASS takes place in the summer.
At the South Texas Coast.
Got it?

Today Carol’s being interviewed by Anne
Gallagher, at Piedmont
Writer. There’s not much telling what she’ll say once she gets wound up. If
you know what I mean.

Bish, we're on a bay and only have scattered, narrow beaches here. A few miles south are the beautiful beaches of Port Aransas, Mustang and Padre islands.
Linda, if there's an Eskimo here, I haven't seen him. Or her. Of couse, they'd be in shorts and flip-flops, so how would I know?
None that I or anyone around here knows, Rachna.
Well, this is Texas, Diane. We don't hold it against you if your cornbread's not quite done when you speak. We all have our moments - at least I do, for sure - and we love you just as you are.
My thoughts exactly, Teresa!
Great idea!
Happy A to Z-ing

Carol, please stop by my blog when you get a change. I left something for you there.
Got it!

As certain as I can be, Inger, without asking every new person I see.
Jemima, the Tiki Hut is a busy place. I didn't know I was going to have to work! Rocks drinks, frozen drinks, icing down boiled shrimp. Water and soda, too. And beer!
Carol told me about that Eskimo ice cream, Michael. No thank you. Maybe that's why we don't have Eskimos here :)
Only if he promises to leave his ice cream at home, Linda :) I'll tell Carol about stopping by. She should be back here in a bit.
I love Eskimo Pies, Hart! Now I'm hungry.
I'd love to have them here if they were around, Julie!
Heather! You know what it's about!
I'm really glad to hear that, Clarissa. I can't wait to tell Carol!
I see we got your attention, Liza!
You bet, Shelley!
Laura, I think Carol forgot her way home. She should have been back here already.
until next time...nel
Michelle - I love Eskimo Pies!
Nel - Probably so. It gets really hot in Texas in the summer.
Then again, maybe not...
This will make the scene where a helicopter full of them jump out feel even more unexpected.
EC - No Eskimos in the next book that I know of, but it's still in the works. You never know who may turn up, LOL!
DWei - LOL! You'll have to read the book to find out :)
