Sun, Sand, and a Few Good Books

Posted on August 27, 2025August 27, 2025 by Michael

The July eBook giveaway turned out to be a fantastic event! All the winners have been contacted and have received their prizes. Thanks to everyone who participated!

Even though summer is winding down, there’s still plenty of time to dive into a new book. Wicked Walter is available in both eBook and paperback formats, and if you have a Kindle Unlimited subscription, you can read it for free.

I wrapped up the season with a trip to San Andres Island in Colombia. This charming archipelago is just a few miles from Nicaragua’s coast and boasts stunning white beaches, mouthwatering seafood, and a vibrant Caribbean culture.

My weekend getaway kicked off with a lively parade right outside my Airbnb, celebrating Colombia’s Independence Day. The energy was absolutely contagious, filled with bands, military displays, and an abundance of talented children dressed in colorful costumes.

The remainder of the trip was a blend of seaside dining, refreshing ocean breezes, and some great reading time.

Personal Appeal

If you’ve read Wicked Walter, I would be grateful if you would take a moment to rate and/or review it on Amazon, if you haven’t done so already. Your feedback plays a crucial role in enhancing the book’s visibility, which can encourage others to check it out or read it through Kindle Unlimited. Thank you so much for your support!
