Carol Kilgore Has Another Book Coming Soon!
Most of you have probably visited Under the Tiki Hut--the blog that is. It's the blog spot of my long time blog friend Carol Kilgore. After the success of her previous book, IN NAME ONLY, Carol has come up with another spellbinder.
Here's a preview:
A missing belt—her uncle’s prized
possession. The lure of buried treasure. And a sexy former SEAL who makes U.S.
Coast Guard Commander Taylor Campbell crazy. What more could any woman want.
Right?
Taylor is on a quest to unearth her
uncle’s buried treasure—a journey so far out of the realm of her real life she
can barely fathom it. There’s one other minor glitch. Taylor's certain the
buried treasure was all in Uncle Randy's dementia-riddled mind. Now he’s dead.
All the same, Taylor is in Rock Harbor,
Texas, to settle her uncle's estate, including following his directions to the
treasure—even if doing so means trespassing. When someone tries to kill her, Taylor's
quest becomes personal. She tosses Randy's official cause of death—Drowning Due to Accident—out the window
and starts looking at his Rock Harbor acquaintances. Could Randy's treasure be
real?
Jake Solomon is in Rock Harbor under
false pretenses. He loathes the charade, but if he doesn't follow the plan, his
dad will make Jake's SEAL training feel like a day on the monkey bars in
kindergarten.
The plan is to protect Taylor Campbell
from the fate that befell her uncle and the other members of a tight circle of
Coast Guardsmen called the Compass Points who served together on Point boats in
Vietnam.
Due to the danger involved, Jake’s dad
has ordered him not to become involved with Taylor. Disobeying his father was
Jake’s first mistake.
Taylor is attracted to Jake as well, but
she refuses to wait for Jake to locate the killer when she knows her plan will
force her uncle’s murderer into action.
But the killer's actions are just what
Jake is afraid of.
About the Author:
Carol Kilgore has always had stories and characters in her
head, but she didn’t know she should write them down until about a dozen years
ago. Once she started, she couldn’t stop.
Her first published short story won the Derringer Award for
Best Short-Short Mystery. She continued to write short fiction for a few years
and also enjoyed a small success as a freelancer before giving it all up for
her true love—novels.
Carol writes a
blend of mystery, suspense, and romance she calls Crime Fiction with a Kiss. Always at least one crime; always a love
story. Solomon’s Compass
is her second published novel.
As the wife of a
Coast Guard officer, Carol has lived in locations across the U.S. She and her
husband now live in a San Antonio suburb and share their home and patio with
two active herding dogs that keep them free from all danger, real or imagined.

Great book cover! Definitely making plans for the April Blogging event! Jeremy did a great job with the badge and banner for this year!
ReplyDeleteI love Carol's cover!
ReplyDeleteI really like the new badge. I need a t-shirt. :)
ReplyDeleteCarol's book sounds like it's going to be great to me and I also love the sound of this Avengers review, it's going to be interesting to hear what you think about it although I think it rocked! It's scary that it's going to be time for the A to Z Challenge again soon. Unfortunately with my current schedules I'm probably not going to get a chance to take part again this year which will be a massive shame if I can't, I'll be really disappointed, great post Lee.
ReplyDeleteGreat badge.
ReplyDeletePretty good looking book cover too.
Good luck to Carol with Solomon's Compass! What an awesome cover and great way to kick off the new year!

Hi Arlee, how's it going? Happiest New Year to you and all the A-Zers.

I'm looking forward to the A-Z Challenge this year. Last year was my first go and it was brilliant.
ReplyDeleteNew follower here!
Looks like I might be around this April, if so I am in. Missed it last year as we traveled. Too hard to do whilst touring in China :)
ReplyDeleteHeather -- Welcome back to the Challenge and thank you for following.
ReplyDeleteRhonda -- We look forward to having you back with us. Traveling does put a crimp on things like A to Z, especially if you're in someplace like China.
