Book Launch Tomorrow - Left Turn At Paradise
TOMORROW, TOMORROW!! Tomorrow is the launch of my
new women's fiction/romance, LEFT TURN AT PARADISE. It's also the launch of a new series set in Florida, the Shellwater Key Tales. So what is this story about?
I know you're dying to find out!!! The series follows three childhood friends
who all return to their hometown & become
involved in reviving an old dinner theatre, The Paradise.
Book one is Layla's story...Thought I'd introduce
you to the cast.
Cast:
Layla
McCarthy - Driven businesswoman who was raised by her grandmother, after being
abandoned by her mother. She's spent most of her life trying to outrun her
mother's wild reputation. She loses her business due to an unscrupulous partner. When she finds out her great-aunt & grandmother have bought the
old Paradise Dinner Theatre, she returns to her hometown to ensure her elderly relative don’t lose their
life savings. Reviving the theatre also brings an unexpected romance with Grayson Kendall, the
enigmatic director hired to produce the first show.
Grayson Kendall – Famed theatre director from Chicago. He’s come to Shellwater Key to visit his aunt & uncle (and hide out) after a headline-making divorce from his gorgeous celebrity wife. The last thing he expected was to rehab a broken down theatre in the middle of nowhere, but he can't resist Layla.
Dr.
Barbara McCarthy – Layla’s grandmother and the first female surgeon in Florida.
While she was busy breaking down barriers for women, she lost the one thing that
should have mattered more…her daughter.
Grace-Anne
Carter – Barbara McCarthy’s younger sister. Grace-Anne moved in with Barbara after
both their husbands died and together they raised Layla. Grace-Anne decides to
buy The Paradise as an ode to a long-lost love connected to the theatre.
Elizabeth
(Beth) McCarthy – Layla’s mother who returns to Shellwater Key looking to make
amends for her past after a terrible illness. Her return uncovers some dark truths surrounding Layla’s birth,
including the role played by her beloved grandmother.

Book Cover Wars - You get to vote!
Hi all,
Getting excited! I have a new series launching soon, a women's fiction/romance. The series is set in the town of Shellwater Key, Florida. First time I've set a book in my home state, although I live in a city, so it's nothing like my little fictional town. The series follows three women who were childhood friends who all return to their hometown for different reasons. They end up getting involved in revising an old, run-down dinner theatre, The Paradise.
I've been working with the designer on book covers. I've struggled a little, as I've gone back and forth over what I want on the cover. Searched photo image sites, looked at other book covers, searched some more. Now, I have a couple options and I'm asking for you help!!
Which do you like for LEFT TURN AT PARADISE, my first Shellwater Key Tale???
