Jesse Giles Christiansen is an American author who writes compelling literary fiction that weaves the real with the surreal. He attended Florida State University where he received his B.A. in English literature. He wrote his first novel, "About: Journey Into The Mystic" after spending a summer in Alaska working on fishing boats. His newest novel, "Pelican Bay," focuses on a very old fisherman and the mysterious happenings linked to him surrounding a nosy, sea-battered beach town (release date: July 20th, 2013, Imajin Books). One of his literary goals is to write at least fifty novels, and he reminds himself always of something that Ray Bradbury once said: "You fail only if you stop writing."
Pelican Bay
After Ethan Hodges discovers an undersea cemetery just off the beach of Pelican Bay, South Carolina, he seeks answers from a grandfatherly fisherman named Captain Shelby. The captain wants the past to remain buried, and he warns Ethan to stay away. But Ethan doesn't listen.Ethan's best friend and secret love interest, Morgan Olinsworth, joins in the investigation, unearthing intriguing secrets about the mysterious fisherman. When Captain Shelby is suspected of murder and disappears, a manhunt ensues, revealing a truth that unnerves everyone in Pelican Bay.
My Review
I enjoyed the book, an easy read except for the pirate talk, which I had to concentrate more on. I don't know if captain Shelby was a ghost or not but I don't think he murdered anyone. Just in the wrong place and trying to do good by helping people he could seeing as they put them selves in the path of danger at each step they took closer to the sea. What I would like to know is how did he heal Ethan and was he his ancestor and what about the graves in the sea did they disappear or were they able to find out more about the people who may have been berried there. As far as people falling on the docs due to it being slippery with seaweed im sure that a fall like that would result in broken bones or concussion and worse of all a coma but not kill them. so did the captain make it worst for them when they fell?? This book follows the main characters from beginning to end im used to two story lines at once and coming together at the end which made this book an easy read. ( thank goodness as i was reading it between feeding my 1month old at 3am) I think my mum would have enjoyed this book more than me as its got the history of the town which is what she does. would have liked to read more about what they found on the graves and what became of the people who were berried there.
