Exciting news, friends!
My first novel,
Bombora, will be available to purchase through
Dreamspinner Press as of August 31, 2012. As you might imagine, I am stoked for the release and can’t wait to share it with you. This novel has been in the works for over a year, and to be honest I almost can’t believe the date is so quickly approaching!
Here’s the blurb:
After a disastrous relationship with a married man leads to losing his family and his job, Phelan Price ends up in the small surfing town of Cardiff-by-the-Sea, California. It’s the perfect place to recover from a nervous breakdown-he even becomes good friends with a fellow surfer, Hugh, a mystery writer who has plenty of demons of his own. Life isn’t perfect, but Phel is starting to get back on his feet. Then Phel’s estranged lover arrives under the banner of a messy divorce, the circumstances of which he refuses to disclose, and throws their peaceful world into chaos. Phel’s shock is complete when the man he’s been trying to forget introduces himself as Hugh’s brother, Nate.
As far as Hugh is concerned, this is as good as it gets: Nate completes their band of misfits perfectly, and the bond they develop through surfing seems strong. But he is unaware that, beneath the surface, Nate and Phel share a darker history than he could ever guess at-a riptide past that threatens to drag them under and consume them from within.
The plot might sound familiar to some of you, and I do not hesitate to confirm that the above is an adaptation of the fic I wrote for my
spn_j2_bigbang entry last year, Carry On Up This Broken Tide. No doubt some people will have mixed feelings about it for this reason, but I hope anyone who enjoyed the original will give the book version a chance, as I have changed quite a bit in the text and added a new chapter as well. This never would've gotten published without the support and love of my friends and readers, and for that I thank you sincerely. I haven't yet decided whether to take down the original version, which I might do for piracy reasons, but if that happens I will certainly let you know. However, I would like to keep it up so that those who do not have access to the book can still read the story.
