About this ebook

"An ill wind that bloweth no man to good."

A pleasant afternoon: the sky is blue, the grass is green, the company — although to each of them Drew and June had been strangers — willing to share their good humor along with cole slaw, ears of corn and hamburgers, when suddenly the news arrives.

And the news is not good.

Somebody killed Willa Maes.

Worse, the talented, young ballplayer had been lynched.

Maybe the right place, wrong time, but Drew Nolan has landed in it again. Sure, all they had to do was get back aboard their new boat, The Sweet Discourse, but this was a circumstance June Kingswood refused to turn a blind eye toward. At her urging, and against Drew's reluctance, our ex-cop-turned-charter-captain again plunges in where he doesn't belong. Or is wanted.

But no worries, he's got this.

Or does he?

Has Drew Nolan just made things worse?

Author

Charles Bechtel

Born:Spring Lake, North Carolina, April, 1953, fourth day, five minutes past midnight (thus late for my parents’ anniversary, which sets a standard for all such events from then on.)Educated:a long while back, when colleges offered to improve human beings attending their classes, not dedicate themselves to the function of making a person employable. Ahh, the good old days.Undergraduate degree: In English from a State college in Glassboro, NJ, that changed its name to Rowan University when Mr. Rowan gave it a huge wad of cash.Master degree:In English from Temple University in 1996, which is where I got to learn exactly what I needed to know from David H. Bradley, the author of a fine book, “The Chaneysville Incident” *among others) which I recommend reading. Otherwise, graduate school for writers is a waste of time and money.Marriage:I married to the finest woman on Earth, by accounts of many others more than myself: Manuela.I married once before, but for practice. It lasted a mere sixteen months.Manuela brought with her two wonderful young ladies, Elizabeth (Baby Beth) and Manuela (Meme), who each in turn delivered into my life young ladies of inestimable worth: Sky (b. 2003) Lucy (b. 2007) and Mia (b. 2008.) Though I give to each huge chunks of my heart, doing so has increased that heart’s size.Work History:Let’s say I worked, and have enjoyed no occupation more than Educator. My students put their trust in me; I put my faith in them. Pretty much always works out.What I do for fun:Everything. If it is not fun, I quickly stop doing it. (see Work, above)Writing Philosophy:Make sense by appealing to the senses.
