CHIPPY. A long journey to home.

CHIPPY  is now available on AMAZON.

A little excerpt:

      Sudden death is like that, you know. Sorta sweeps you off your feet.

      I chuckled at the pun. Me, being a cleaning lady and how one can get swept off your feet. Then, life is funny. You’re as happy as you want to be, Strother had told me once.

     J.T. Strother, had lots of sayings. I remember one he used to say every now and then; love brings joy, forever. He would always chuckle and wink at me when he said it.

    J.T. or simply Strother, that was his name, he was like that. Always with some kind of colloquial proverb, or something. He had a very dry sense of humor and you either got it or it was lost in the moment. Strother was pensive, then childish, but so unbelievably handsome. Or at least I had grown to see him that way.

CHIPPY- my newest book. Here’s what Dorothy  Royal, Topsail Times editor had to say about it:

Suspense, intrigue and a mix of unforgettable characters will leave you deep within a mystery that carries on through strangers and strange places. Carol Ann Ross has captured the beauty of coastal North Carolina while sharing an intriguing mystery that begins with a bang. Lorretta is a woman that finds herself in a place of safety and comfort when her world is shattered by a horrific act that forces her to keep her eyes open, but her lips closed. Wealth, arrogance and suspicious characters make her investigation into the death of her beloved boss all that much harder. Secrets become uncovered, strangers become friends, and ghosts of the past lurk in the distance.

I do love this book, even though it is pretty dark. CHIPPY took me places even I had not known before.  Yes, the story often drives me rather than the other way around.

I just sent it off, so it should be available in a couple of weeks. Posting of little excerpts and comments will be coming. Hope you, my readers, enjoy it. Thanks, Carol
