Tortoise Stew

A wild and raucous ride through the crazy world of Florida politics

Kelly reported the news. But when a bomb is left on her desk, she becomes the news. Someone wants her to stop reporting on proposed developments that threaten to destroy the landscape and bucolic nature of rural Florida.

Bart taught Kelly how to be a compassionate journalist. And in the process, he became the great love of her life. But Bart doesn't realize the price Kelly pays with each story and each threat to their love and her life.

While Kelly continues digging into the contentious politics, her personal life explodes and exposes her darkest secrets. A murder/suicide connected to Kelly's sources exposes further deceptions. When Santa Claus totes a gun during the annual Christmas parade, Bart and Kelly begin to piece together the whole story.

Danger lurks in the dark shadows, and unless the newspaper duo can reveal it all, more than a bomb will threaten Kelly's life. And their love will be the ultimate sacrifice for failing.

Tortoise Stew by P.C. Zick pays tribute to Florida and its quirkiness. You'll love this irreverent and often humorous glimpse into Florida politics and rural life where gopher tortoises are left as calling cards and ranches boast African safaris.

Buy Tortoise Stew to be transported into the often humorous and always entertaining world of Florida's wildest life of all-its people.

About the Author
Bestselling author P.C. Zick describes herself as a storyteller no matter what she writes. And she writes in a variety of genres, including romance, contemporary fiction, and nonfiction. She's won various awards for her essays, columns, editorials, articles, and fiction. The three novels in her Florida Fiction Series contain stories of Florida and its people and environment, which she credits as giving her a rich base for her storytelling. "Florida's quirky and abundant wildlife-both human and animal-supply my fiction with tales almost too weird to be believable." Her contemporary romances in the Behind the Love trilogy are also set in Florida. The novels in her most recent series, Smoky Mountain Romances, are set in in Murphy, North Carolina. All of her books are stand-alone reads, even if they appear in a series. Her novels contain elements of romance with strong female characters, handsome heroes, and descriptive settings. She believes in living lightly upon this earth with love, laughter, and passion, and through her fiction, she imparts this philosophy in an entertaining manner with an obvious love for her characters, plot, and themes.
