NEW SERIES COVER REVEAL
I’m 55k words into the first book in my new Jupiter Beach mystery/thriller series and I’m hoping to have it released in August at the latest. I’m going VERY SLOWLY because I want this to be my blockbuster!
The main character is the woman you met as “Hunter” in Pineapple Turtles. Spoiler Alert: That’s not her real name. 🙂
While extra thrilling, a little grittier and a little sexier, this book will still be clean, so fans of the Pineapple Port Mystery Series should still love it. (the cursing might upgrade (downgrade?) to the occasional *sh*t*, because frankly, it just isn’t realizing some of these characters shout “Gosh Golly Gee!” when they hit their thumb with a hammer. If you like my Kilty series, it is something like that without any paranormal aspect.
Here’s a synopsis of what you’ll find!
Siofra wants a home.
Forty-five year old Siofra McQueen returns to her father’s hotel, the Loggerhead Inn in Jupiter Beach, FL, after being on the run from an assassin for over twenty years. Her father said it was safe to come home, but she finds him in a coma, shot in the head by an unknown sniper.
Things look grim, but this is no ordinary hotel, and Siofra is no ordinary woman.
Siofra spent most of her young life working as her father Mick’s partner, bounty hunting military criminals for the Navy, but when someone put a bounty on her head, she went into hiding to protect her loved ones. Her unusual upbringing only trained her for one thing, so using a string of aliases, she became a freelance angel of sorts, helping individuals and local law enforcement solve difficult crimes and capture criminals.
Siofra wants a cocktail and a nice long nap.
Home again, she discovers her father has turned his hotel into an island of broken toys for military vets looking to redeem their troubled souls by helping others. She doesn’t know if Mick’s new mission or the return of her own attempted assassin is responsible, and it doesn’t help that Mason, the young SEAL she fell for at eighteen, has finally tracked her down, too.
With the help of Mason and the hotel’s unusual and deadly staff, Siofra wants to solve the mystery and bring a monster to justice. She’s lost decades, lost people she loves, and lost herself on the road.
Enough is enough.
She can’t run anymore.
Siofra wants revenge.

Ohhhhhhh, this sounds like a winner. Looking forward to it!
Looks and sounds good.
Amy, I am really looking forward to your new series. Does this mean Pineapple Port is complete? Your writing style is a blend of mystery and humor and a pleasure to read. I hope por Pjneapple Port friends DO NOT GO AWAY.
I’ll still be writing Pineapple too!
Please say that there will be another Kilty book. I just finished all of them in about a week and am dying to know where they go from here.
Sounds good to me. Can’t wait to read it. Occasional swear words don’t bother me as long as it adds to the story and makes it real life. Gosh Golly Gee just doesn’t do it and sounds fake to me. Its a very rare person who says that and no one I know would say that. Swearing just to swear does nothing for me
Looks great! For some reason I didn’t get your newsletter ? It dawned on me it had been awhile so I came in search of clues…
Am I still active on your list?
This sounds great! Just finished Pineapple Hurricane and loved it, as always. Can’t wait to hear about this new one.
I haven’t been getting your newsletter either, so I’m signing up again.
