Series — thriller + love story Former pastor, now fine arts painter, Percy Black, and his lover, woman’s shelter therapist Starr Knitter, team up to protect a young single woman sailor from the thugs who continually attack her, as their act of revenge. They assume she is responsible for their older brother’s death by drowning on Egg Island, way off shore in the Gulf of Maine. Percy is trying to create agency in his behavior — trying to take control in his life and his actions – so he can persuade Starr to grow deeper emotions toward him when she, too, is attacked.
Additional Info
Lots of offshore sailing, actual life ashore in Maine, vivid depictions of Maine’s towns, coastlines, islands, lakes, and forests. Both principals are divorced and middle aged, having adult children. There are efforts by each of them to persuade the other on the subject of Percy’s request that Starr marry him, balanced – on the other side – by her uncertainty about her best future. Several crises of increasing urgency lead through the plot to a powerful and frightening climax involving a home invasion with guns. Egg Island (Kindle) is $0.99; paperback $12.99. Book two of the series – available 2/20/24 – titled This Blessed Assurance: DOWNEAST, is priced the same. Both books can be promoted at the same time, beginning Thursday, February 22, 2024.
