Drifting Sands
C. J. Baty
Release date: June 7, 2015
Blurb:
As he approaches his fortieth birthday,
Justin Warfield feels alone, drifting like the sand that blows along the beach
near his family’s hotel. He has done exactly as his father wanted. Married the
right girl and carried on the family tradition of running the Warfield Hotel.
On paper things seem perfect, but happiness hasn’t been a part of his life for
a very long time.
Marcus Drummond once spent a summer with
his best friend Peter at the Warfield Hotel and fell hard for Peter’s much
older brother. Five years later he’s back, and this time hopes that Justin will
see him as more than his kid brother’s friend.
Sparks fly when the two meet again, but
there are a few things standing in their way. The closet that Justin has
himself buried in and someone on a killing spree, dumping bodies on the
Warfield beach . . . victims that indicate Justin may be involved in some way.

Excerpt:
The night air was
cool and damp as it blew off the ocean. Ian McAlister toed the sand where he
stood, looking out into the darkness surrounding him. A soft glow filled the
sky over the Warfield Hotel several hundred yards away. This was a public beach
and closed at night, and the only sound was the soft lapping of the water
against the shore.
Ian fingered the
note in his pocket as he thought of the words he’d read over and over again
since he’d received it.
“Ian, I need your help. Please. Come to the Warfield
and meet me on the beach at 10 p.m. on Friday evening. There’s a spot on the
north end of the beach, just between the public beaches and the private beach
of the Warfield. There’s a sign, meet me there. Don’t tell anyone. Please, Ian,
I need you.”
Ian had not heard
from Justin Warfield since Justin got married. It had been too hard to see each
other as only friends. They’d each gone on with their lives. But for Ian,
Justin Warfield was a hard man to forget, so when the letter arrived, his
decision to come had been easy.
The sound of
footsteps treading through the sand caused Ian to turn around. He was surprised
to find a gun aimed at him.
“What are you
doing?” Ian asked, but there was no answer.
He felt the
pressure as the impact of the bullet pushed him back slightly. A searing pain
knifed its way into his chest. He didn’t have time to run or even scream out.
Darkness took him as he crumbled to the ground.

Let’s talk about C. J. Baty:
C. J. Baty lives
in southwest Ohio with her very patient husband and two encouraging children.
Her heart however, lives in the mountains of Tennessee where she hopes to
retire some day. The mountains have always provided her with inspiration and a
soothing balm to the stresses of everyday life.
The dream of
writing her own stories started in high school but was left on the back burner
of life until her son introduced her to fan fiction and encouraged her to give
it a try. She found that her passion for telling a story was still there and
writing them down to share with others was much more thrilling than she had
ever expected.
One thing she has
learned from life and she is often heard to say is: “You are never too old to
follow your dream even if it takes you fifty years!”
