Shameless is Live
My part in the Tropical Authors collaboration
My friend Nick Sullivan started Tropical Authors a
couple of years ago. The genre which the group generally falls under Amazon’s category of “Sea Adventures” was pretty desolate ten years ago when I published Wood’s Reef. What was then only a handful of authors has grown to almost fifty. Nick saw something there and started a website to promote our works. We also have a private Facebook group to communicate. It has turned out to be a great and supportive community.
In order to pay for and promote Tropical Authors, Nick along with John Cunningham, Wayne Stinnett, and Nicholas Harvey published two collaborations, Graceless and Timeless.
Shameless is the third in a series we call “Less is More” books.
David Berens, Douglass Pratt, and Chris Niles got together almost a year ago and started Shameless.
Mine is the last part where I take over from Pratt’s character Chase Gordon. We chose Stiltsville as the hand off location. The derelict collection of stilt houses, all that remains of the offshore community of the early 1900s is the perfect place for a clandestine meeting or nefarious activity.
From there Kurt Hunter takes our protagonists Harvey Nickerson to Key Largo where Alicia and Mako help pass him off to Mac Travis for the finale.
The setting for the final scenes are Newfound Harbor and Marathon. The Little Palm Island Resort and the seaplanes and shuttles that service the exclusive clientele play heavily in the ending.
Overall it was a unique and enjoyable experience.
