George H. Marshall III has it all, and he wants to get away from it--women, a busy social calendar, and his so-called career in the family oil business. So he does what any 43-year-old, thrice-divorced playboy would do: he sails away to the Caribbean. Determined to prove to his parents (and himself) that he is more than a spoiled, womanizing, over-aged adolescent, George buys Porto da Vida Marina on the small island of São Jorge.
Within days, George faces his first hurricane and its aftermath. Then he finds out that that was the easy part. Between his wayward staff, the governor's hot-to-trot wife, a lift truck possessed by jumbies, and a host of other island disasters--natural and human--George is working harder than ever. Little does he know that there is more to his struggles than his own incompetence. His mother, Liza-Beth Marshall-Hunter (of the Dallas Hunters), is doing everything she can to get her baby boy back home.
In no time at all, George finds himself entwined in the insanity of island politics and personalities. It's all more than he bargained for and he is ready to admit defeat and return home, the prodigal son. Then Noreen Roberts sails into his marina. A champion sailor on the Caribbean race circuit, Noreen is everything he has never wanted to be: Responsible, reliable, and hard-working. With her help, Porto da Vida begins to run smoothly--despite George. But when Nora catches George in a compromising position with a trio of young, bored socialites known as the Sand Witches, she leaves him to fend for himself.
George should be able to manage just fine without her, though. How hard can it be to run a marina on a tropical island?

BIO
Lynne Hinkey is a marine scientist by training, a writer by passion, and a curmudgeon by nature. She spent years hanging out at marina bars around the Caribbean, where she eavesdropped in on fascinating conversations that she then turned into fun stories reflecting the zaniness of island life. She lives in Charleston, South Carolina, with her husband, cat, and two dogs. Her short stories, essays, travel articles, and book reviews have appeared in a number of print and electronic publications. She is the author of three novels: Marina Melee, Ye Gods! A Tale of Dogs and Demons, and The Un-Familiar: A Tale of Cats and Gods. The latter are books 1 and 2 of her Chupacabra Trilogy. The final installment, Ye Goddess! A Tale of Girls and Gods," is in development. When not writing, Lynne is an adjunct professor of biology and an avid, but not accomplished, dog agility competitor.
