About the Book
Genuine liveaboards own no land-based property, no escape to firm ground when life gets rough, and so they depend upon a marina home for water, electricity, fuel, and safety. Sunset Marina is a contemporary fiction romance/mystery about people who are genuine liveaboards on Lake Guntersville in northern Alabama.
Many dream about living on a boat, cutting some of those ties to land and simplifying their lives. Some are just water people by nature and feel best when they are afloat. Some think this would be a great way to spend their retirement years. But few people really do it, and fewer still may be able to in the future. Marinas and marina dwellers everywhere are under attack as shoreline property goes the way of millionaire mansions and high-rise condos, hurricanes drive up insurance rates, energy costs rise, and more and more restrictions impact the liveaboard way of life. When one of the Sunset Marina owners drowns under suspicious circumstances, several lives change dramatically, and as diverse as they are culturally, educationally and economically, the liveaboards work together to help the most helpless. And is justice done at the end? It's a mystery.About the Author
