This is what was left of Scotch Bonnet Fishing Pier a couple of years ago.  Oh if only those pilings could talk.

 At one time there were nine fishing piers on the island. Starting at the north end of the island there was McKee's Pier, then Paradise, Ocean City, Scotch Bonnet, Barnacle Bill's, Surf City Pier, Dolphin, Jolly Roger and then the Sound Pier.

THE BRIDGE TO PARADISE  is ready!! I hope you like the cover and hope you enjoy the final book in the Topsail Island trilogy. This has been a project very near and dear to my heart especially since the bridge that has been such a part of Topsail is due to be destroyed 2020.

This series has been my way of preserving the wonderful way of life that existed on Topsail and in many ways still does.  The island is unique, low key, family oriented and friendly - there is no other place like it. Thanks so much to my childhood friends and thanks to those of you who have expressed interest in my books - believe me, it is food for the soul. 

This last book is available on Amazon, but if you would like a personalized book from me I will be at the Holly Ridge Sampler, Sept. 20 and at Autumn with Topsail in Oct. You may also contact me via facebook or phone to order one. 

(an aside to a purchaser - please contact me- I've lost your address - you know who you are- thanks)

Next Spring I have a new series of books beginning - the first is titled  WATERLOGGED.  This is a modern day murder series that takes place on our lovely island. Ooooh! I am presently working on it and it is lots of fun - chock full of sinister tourists and nefarious locals.

Thanks to all!!
