I have written so many Seavy County stories that sometimes I forget which books and stories were set there. I’ve worked on this Seavy County Kickstarter all summer long, and it wasn’t until two weeks ago that I realized my romance novel, The Death of Davy Moss, is a Seavy County story. We added it to the Kickstarter as a bonus stretch goal if we hit 125 backers. As I write this, late Saturday night, we’re close as you read this, get your friends to back the Kickstarter, because among my reader-friends, this is one of their favorite novels of mine. I’d love to share it with you.
After the darkness of some of the other novels, this one is a breath of fresh air. It’s got a hint of a crime, and it is set on that imaginary part of the Oregon Coast called Seavy County, but it also has a happy ending. (Romance, remember?) I think you’ll like it.
Here’s the blurb:
TEEN IDOL DAVY MOSS DIED ALONE ON A MOUNTAIN ROAD. NO ONE EVER FOUND HIS BODY.
Davy Moss died fifteen years ago, but his fans keep him alive. They “see” him everywhere. They hold reunions, listen to his music over and over again. They encourage him to haunt them.
But Davy Moss already haunts one man. Josh Candless, the man Davy Moss became after that accident. Contractor, loner, a man who makes music in the quiet of his apartment. Until one fateful day when he gives an impromptu performance in a bar.
EMILY LUKOVICH HAS SWORN OFF MEN. THEN SHE HEARS JOSH CANDLESS.
Music promoter Emily Lukovich wants to make Josh Candless a star. Unaware of his past, she finds herself drawn to his music, his potential—everything about him.
But Emily mixed business with pleasure once before, and it ruined her career. A relationship with Josh Candless might destroy her career all over again. And worse, it might destroy her.
Because Davy Moss betrayed everyone he ever knew. And Josh Candless might do the same…
“Complex characters driven by multiple motivations form the hallmark of this serenade, especially recommended for readers who enjoy music as surely as they do romance.”—Midwest Book Review
“I found this to be a lovely read and with its strong protagonists and subtle mystery amid an intriguing backdrop of the music industry I think this story will appeal to almost anyone.” —Fresh Fiction
