…and a bit of romance on the side.

I mentally returned to my Philippine experiences to provide the depth and color for the novel The Island of Passion and Rage, the fifth installment of The Chandler Chronicles.

My father was stationed next in Rhodes, Greece, but I missed that one. Unfortunately, I’d grown up and had to go off to college — first to a small junior college in Wingate, North Carolina near by mother’s hometown, then to the University of Maryland after my parents returned to the D.C. area. By my junior year, I was off again to finish my education at the University of Miami. My dad was transferred to Marathon Key, and I sure as heck wasn’t going to allow him to enjoy another tropical island paradise while I froze in Maryland!
