"Southern Crosses"-my new book!

Okay, I'll say it out-loud ~ "I'm shamelessly promoting my book here." There, with that out of the way...

If your interested in action/adventure along the Florida coast with a strong sailing theme, then this is the book for you.

This book has taken me a couple of years to write, but my goal has been achieved! 'Southern Crosses' is in print, and available.

Pete Mitchell unties the dock lines from his St. Pete Beach marina and heads out to sea never suspecting the twists and turns that await him. There is a good bit of scuba diving, treasure hunting, and sailing, all entwined with a rather crooked Pinellas County sheriff's office Major. Pete stumbles upon evidence that may cost him his life. The story moves along while offering some surprising insights to the upper levels of the local county sheriff's office.

Clicking on the link below will take you to the books homepage. After the small preview loads you will have an option to review some of the fist chapter by clicking on the Preview link on the left.

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it.

Southern Crosses by Lawrence Annen (Book) in Literature & Fiction

what exactly would be surprising about corruption at the upper levels of county government in Florida?!

Personally, I took an oath, and took it seriously. I was 'surprised' when one day a Major looked at me and said, "You know what your problem is Annen, your morals are too high."


So... now I wrote a book. It's all fictional, read the disclaimer.

Lawrence,
Selling your book is a commercial venture and according to the rules of the forum you must become a vendor to sell goods or services in here that are a benefit to you. I don't feel good about this because it is probably an excellent book. But as a moderator I am required to enforce the rules of the forum by closing this thread. I will leave the links to your website in tact though. Please do not start a new thread that promotes your book.

I do wish you the best with your book.
