"Death Island" will not officially be released by Camel until October 1, but it is available now, if you just
can't wait! This funky novel concerns a convicted mass murder--who didn't do it!--to life on Death Island,
a tropical island in the Pacific, which looks like heaven, but can be hell to those who are dropped there to
survive, or not.
Danny Manning has only one friend who believes in his innocence: the independent-thinking wife of a local clergyman. Against her husband's wishes (her "perfect" marriage turns out to have its own problems!) Charlie Adjavon goes to great lengths to try to free Danny. Well, here's what the blurb on the back of
the book says:
"Wrongly convicted of the brutal murder of his wife, Danny Manning os exiled to Death Island, the
site of America's favorite reality show. Death Island is Hell disguised as Paradise, a place where no one gets
off unless the audience vote goes his way.
Danny's day to day survival depends on a brilliant and hilarious psychopath who knows the ropes. But
his ultimate fate lies in the hands of a local clergyman's quirky wife, a smarmy TV host, and Death Island's
fickled home viewers. If voted 'off the island' he will be free, innocent or not.
Can he stay alive that long? And will he ever discover the identiy of the real murderer.
...And okay, okay, I'm really sorry about Talon! How did I know everyone would fall in love with him?

ReplyDeleteIn the book I am trying to find a publisher for now, I have a chapter devoted to a "sugar-on-snow" picnic in the winter in the woods. Those memories are some of the best of my life!
Thanks you, Cousins!
