Evenings on Dark Island

by Rhett DeVane & Larry Rock

 

Welcome to the Spa at Dark Island, an exclusive resort operated by a former party planner turned reluctant vampire and his rat-faced attorney and best friend. The gators, snakes, and ’possums aren’t the only creatures haunting the evenings on the island off Central Florida’s muddy forgotten coast, and more than just the mosquitoes are out for a taste of blood.

Rhett and Larry invite you to visit the official book website for reviews

  Accidental Ambition

by Rhett DeVane & Robert W. McKnight

 

 

         Every vote counts. The future of the entire free world could ride on one vote—that of a new U.S. Senator from Florida.

         Sex, scandal, international intrigue, and murder rock an important national senate race. When incumbent Republican Brad Silver dies in a mysterious plane crash, the campaign goes from hectic to just plain weird. Brad’s beautiful Hispanic wife Eleana gets plugged in for the Republicans, and a hard-living former Governor dukes it out with alcoholic former state senator Joel Orr for the Democrats. Control of power in Congress hinges on the election. Who, or what, really controls the outcome?

         Robert McKnight—former member of the Florida Senate and House of Representatives—is the author of “The Golden Years...The Florida Legislature”. The book, nominated for two national awards, provided the basis for a television documentary in 2010. He makes his home in Tallahassee, Florida with wife Susan Williams McKnight.

       A winner of the 2010 Premier Book Awards!

The Madhatter's Guide to Chocolate

Madhatter's Guide to Chocolate, cover art

     Welcome to the town of Chattahoochee, Florida. Imagine living down the road from a mental institution and growing up in a world still drenched in the traditions of the South. For Hattie Davis, she couldn't wait to get away. Returning home for her mother's funeral, she is drawn in by the arrival of a dear and flamboyant childhood friend, Jake Witherspoon. Despite the unfortunate situation that has brought them together, a memoir of an old family friend inspires them to join forces and take the town by storm. Yet, their new entrepreneurial lives are brutally interrupted when Jake is kidnapped and beaten by two local teenage boys.

     Interwoven with an air of magical realism, The Madhatter's Guide to Chocolate is a rich tale of small town humor, tragedy, and the extraordinary twists of fate.

Up the Devil's Belly

Up the Devil's Belly, cover art

 

     With the arrival of a new generation of the Davis-Lewis family, and the opening of an upscale day spa, confidence is finally returning to the small Florida town of Chattahoochee. The town is recovering from the vicious hate crime that crippled Jake Witherspoon. Yet, before Aunt Piddie's last batch of Cathead Biscuits has a chance to cool, something new is crawling through the tall grass. A prominent citizen is hiding a dirty little secret; one that will shake the community to its roots and leave a legacy of doubt and mistrust that may never heal.

     Return with us to Chattahoochee, where Southern hospitality, strong family ties, and small town values collide with the darkest side of human nature in a story told with unflappable Southern charm.
