A little info about cattails-they grow just about everywhere. They can be found around marshes, ponds, lakes and estuaries. They can be eaten. They spread their seeds in the fall. They make no sound. However, in my latest fiction novel, THE SERENADE OF THE CATTAILS, they sing. Some of my characters hear them. Just what are they saying?
THE SERENADE OF THE CATTAILS, is the fourth novel in The Blue House Series by Carol Ann Ross. I endeavored greatly to make this particular book a whodunit, and believe me, it was not an easy task. Still, a wonderful cast of interesting and quirky characters made the experience fun-even I had difficulty figuring out who did the deed. I hope you (my readers) have the same experience.
Remember going over that old bridge? It wasn’t that long ago…4 years or so. Mim and Naomi and the Scaggins family and a whole bunch of other characters in the Blue House series books I have penned, do it every day. They go to Barnacle Bills, the Scotch Bonnet, the Putt Putt, the Skating Rink—all kinds of places that were around in the 1960s. Do you have memories at there? Of course, Blue House stories are fiction, made up and set at our wonderful Topsail Island. I bet you have stories too…embellish them a bit, see what you can come up with. Take a look at this series-TOPSAIL ISLAND TANGO, THE SNEAKY FREAKY, BLOWFISH, and coming by June, THE SERENADE OF THE CATTAILS.
