BLOG CO-HOST PUBLISHES TWO NOVELS

We have some exciting news to share! Besides her duties to Cruising Squared, my co-blogger and life partner Pam has been busy working on her novels. This week, we're celebrating that two of her newest books made their debut on Amazon. Pop the champagne!

Both books are part of a series that now include four books in all. One is titled "Panama Palmer," which is the second in a series that started with "Privately Palmer." Set in South Florida, Palmer and the characters in her life could easily be among your own friends and neighbors. The synopsis: "Tucked away in a run-down industrial district is the shady dive known as Dizzy's, where Palmer unravels a tangled web of secrets woven between an assortment of questionable and dangerous characters. Although Palmer, a cool, strong, sexy, yet flawed woman, longs for the peace of her South Florida beach shack, she is drawn into a dark and sordid world. Cautioned by her part-time lover, Addison, and aided by her earthy friend, Ludi, it is a twisting, dangerous and turbulent ride that pushes Palmer to the limit." As Pam notes, it is a "spicy" read but a fun ride.

The other new one is "Zandra and The Bainbridges of the Palm Beaches," the follow-up book to "The Bainbridges of the Palm Beaches." Again, she builds a story around strong characters: "Sun streams all over the Palm Beaches for Anya, Frederick, Lizzie and the gang as they return for more adventures amid the palm trees. But the fun fades as new faces bring turmoil, indiscretions and lies. One new face in particular -- Taga Zandra -- settles into a prominent spot in the world of the Bainbridges as she catches the eye of Frederick Bainbridge. Trusting Frederick has never been a greater challenge for Anya Bainbridge. Anya's friend and Frederick's business associate, Lizzie, unaccustomed to playing second-banana to anyone, wonders if the presence of Taga Zandra will force that role upon her. Socialite by marriage and vintage shopping maven, Embry Impolito, adds spice and flare to the irresistible gossip she whispers to her friends and almost-friends. But Anya depends on her for more than telling tales. Past relationships threaten the partners, Victor and Theo. Anya's best friends face the ultimate, life-changing, decision. It will be revealed."

Each book is priced at 99 cents, and available for Kindle or any device that has the Amazon Kindle app. "Cruise" on other there and check it out! -- Gerry
