Although I live in Southern California I follow your Maine news with interest. I’ve written four mysteries with global venues, using my travels as background. Peril on Ponza finds the protagonists, Bev and Brian Moore, in the midst of Italian murder, mussel contamination and multinational intrigue. A Shroud Over Iceland finds this investigative team in the midst of economic disaster and power struggle. Mayhem on Mallorca involves drones, kidnapping and warm Spanish breezes. A Quagmire on Orcas Island brings our intrepid couple to the U. S. and Washington State where border disputes and terrorism are issues. Amazon.com is selling them.
