It's Release Day!

Today THE DADDY CATCH officially hits the shelves in book stores. To celebrate, I've sent all the workmen home. For the first time in for-evah, no jack hammers, no nail guns, no "Oh, fiddle-de-sticks!" ringing out through the house when someone hammers their thumb instead of a nail. Instead, there's peace and quiet at my house.

It reminds me of a calm day on the water. Like the ones Jess and Dan experience in THE DADDY CATCH. Dan Hamilton is a foster care success story whose wildest dreams are within reach when he's asked to join in building a medical center on Florida's east coast. Widowed Jessica Cofer wants little more than to help her young son grow into an honest man and preserve the natural beauty of Phelps Cove.

But when Dan costs her little boy the catch of a lifetime, Jess seriously considers stranding the interloper in the Cove where mosquitoes will carry him off… if the panthers don't get him first.
