Fossil Woman hosted by Common Grounds Coffee Shop
Many thanks to Common Grounds Coffee Shop in Ladysmith, Virginia, for hosting my books for May and June. A short hop off I-95, stop in and try a cuppa.
Living Fossil Audiobook now available!
My amazing narrator, Paul Richard Yarborough, is an actor from North Carolina, and even though I’ve heard his voice many times, I am awestruck each time I listen. The book contains Cajun, Texas, southern, Louisiana, New Jersey, and East Coast accents, male and female voices, children, and even a fortune teller in the bayou, and he does them all exquisitely. Need an audiobook for your spring or summer road trip? View the Trailer Here. Living Fossil is available on Audible, iTunes, and Amazon.
Living Fossil available now on Amazon!
On an oil rig deep in a Louisiana lake, paleontologist Henrietta Ballantine makes a chilling discovery: something impossibly alive in the drilling mud – something ancient, tiny, and unknown to modern science.
With the help of fellow paleontologist Beau and Louisiana Fish and Wildlife biologist Armand, Henrietta races to identify the bizarre organisms. In captivity, the creatures grow at an alarming rate – sprouting claws, stingers, and deadly aggression. Worse, they’ve already escaped into the wild.
Could these monsters be living fossils, long dormant within subterranean salt beds?
Loose in the waters of Lake Blanc, the creatures grow at an alarming rate, devastating the ecosystem – growing large, spreading fast, and slaughtering native species. People are disappearing.
Time is running out. As Hurricane Edith barrels toward the coast, Henrietta must find a way to stop the invasion before the bayou is lost forever. Against her geologist husband Frank Bailey’s advice, she sets a daring plan in motion – one that will test her resolve, her science, and her safety.
Bayou country is under siege.
The past has come back…with venom.
If Henrietta fails, nothing in the bayou will be safe.
Thanks to all who visited me at the Montgomery County, MD, Gem, Mineral & Fossil Show
See you next year!
