A LUCY DELROSE MYSTERYwritten by author TERESA LYNN, a winner of the

2013 American Literary Merit Award (ALMA) contest.

LUCY DELROSE, a com-mercial fisherwoman and owner of DELROSE MARINA DOCK in Bunge County,Mississippi, was planning the an-nual Grabbling Event when SUE ANN DYKES was found dead from multiple stab wounds. JUNIOR DYKES was

husband to Sue Ann and an old love of Lucy. Who killed Sue Ann? Why does Junior involve Lucy in a manhunt for the killer?

RENE CARON, a half-breed Indian who manufactured his own line of powerboats in Bunge County, was enamored of Lucy and considered her his property. Junior’s inter-ference between Lucy and Rene plunged Lucy into a dangerous series of attacks from unknown predators.

Junior was the owner of DYKES FARMERS CO-OP in Cope County, Mississippi. He was the father of three young sons by Sue Ann. Rumor had it that Junior was being unfaithful to his wife. He used his past history with Lucy to convince her to help him unravel the recent events of Sue Ann’s life. His determination to find out who Sue Ann was seeing before her death sets forth a dangerous chain of events.

JETTA ANGELO, a raven-haired gypsy wom-an, lusted after Rene. She had been his mistress before Lucy and would do any-thing to keep them apart. She became the shadow behind every door and saboteur of everything Lucy holds dear. Rene must save Lucy from Jetta’s hateful deeds.

Lucy is confused by her old feelings for Junior and the throbbing need she experi-ences in the arms of Rene. Could a woman love two men during one lifetime? Lucy walks the line between jealousy and dan-ger to discover whether Rene is to be her eternal love.

Sue Ann’s killer haunts Lucy and endangers her life to the point of murder.

— Tom Purcell, nationally syndicated columnist and author

“Carr excels at looking for the human dimension ... she buttresses her analysis with prose that is at once intellectually playful and vivid. That is a powerful combination,”

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Happy New Year!

I don’t know about you, but for us at Southern Writers Magazine it’s hard to believe we are in 2014. Beginning a new year is exciting, to say the least. However, in all honesty, I have to say I’m not sure where 2013 went. It certainly went fast.

We met so many inspiring authors in 2013 and enjoyed interviewing and promoting them and their books as well as just plain getting to know these fine writers. It was a pleasure for all of us at the magazine.

Now as we go into 2014, we are anticipating the wonderful connections we will make with even more authors, promoting their works, establishing additional alliances, and sharing their expertise with other writers.

There will be many things to learn this year, as there are always new programs and new things thrown at writers to enhance their writing as well as promoting and marketing their books. Starting the year off right is the Book ‘Em North Carolina Writers Conference and Book Fair in Lumberton, North Carolina. Don’t miss it.

Keep us posted on your new books coming out and let us know how we can best help you bring your books to the attention of readers. With over a million books published in print, plus over 300,000 eBooks, authors need to take advantage of every opportunity to bring their name and books to the forefront. Let us help you get the word out. Join Southern Writers and use the promotional venues we offer our authors to keep their name in the reader’s eye.

We wish 2014 to be the best year ever in your writing endeavors. Keep writing,

Susan Reichert Editor-in-Chief
