$1.99 Kindle Deal!
Hey Nessies!
Happy Summer! Whether you're heading out to the beach, boarding a long flight, or taking a road trip, my debut novel AT LOGGERHEADS is now in e-book (Kindle) and audiobook (everywhere) formats for your reading and listening enjoyment! Bonus: Kindle e-book is on special start-of-summer sale for $1.99 until Friday, May 30th!
One of the best compliments is positive word-of-mouth (recommend my book or post reviews online). Please tell your friends and book clubs to read about (or listen to) the story of sea turtle biologist Brooke Edens, Anders Isle, detective Drew Young, and a murder mystery that will keep you guessing to the very end.
In the words of Shelby Van Pelt (NYT bestselling author of Remarkably Bright Creatures):
"I came for the sea turtles and stayed for the mystery and intrigue! At Loggerheads is a delightful debut that deftly shifts from twisty to tender, delivering a page-turning murder mystery while examining the complicated relationship between humans and the incredible creatures we share this world with. I loved this book!"
From my friend and mentor, Mary Alice Monroe, who is a New York Times bestselling author of 30 novels: "A thrilling debut novel intertwined with mystery, nature, romance, and betrayal. Set on a lush barrier island, Ness offers the reader a rich sense of place in a whodunit that reflects on the meaning of home. A must read--especially if you love sea turtles!"
Be sure to pick up Mary Alice's most recent novel (released just last week!) and her first historical fiction: Where the Rivers Merge.
Wherever you wander for summer fun, I hope you get the chance to dip your toes in the ocean (and maybe catch a glimpse of a sea turtle along the way)!

Summertime!
Hey Nessies!
Thank you for following me on Goodreads!
Sea turtle nesting season begins in May in South Carolina and lasts until mid-August. The hatchlings emerge from their nests through October.
In my debut novel, AT LOGGERHEADS, the reader will learn about sea turtle nesting while immersed in a murder mystery on Anders Isle, a fictional South Carolina barrier island.
Please tell your bookish friends and book clubs! I love to zoom into book club discussions (or attend in person, if possible) to answer live Q&A. Meeting book clubs has become one of my favorite things about being a published author!
Happy summer! Stay cool! And happy reading!
