BLURB:

The Lei Crime Series is: Hawaii is palm trees, black sand and blue water—but for policewoman Lei Texeira, there’s a dark side to paradise. Lei has overcome a scarred past to make a life for herself as a cop, but often the cases she works activate wounds and complications from her tangled family history. Lei is affected deeply by her cases even as she solves them with persistence, obsession, and intuition. She falls in love with Michael Stevens, the charismatic detective she works with, and they make a life solving crime in contemporary Hawaii with all its beauty and deadliness.

The Shell Keeper is Magical Realism

A Warrior Dog is Mystery/Action





The Shell Keeper   by Christine Nolfi

In South Carolina, magic is as plentiful as sweet tea.

Thanks to her aunt’s unwanted generosity, policewoman Lei Texeira has embarked on a vacation—of the supernatural sort. She’s staying on the beach in a frothy mansion that resembles a baker’s confection. Pixie, a Southern belle with enough bling to open a shop on Rodeo Drive, manages the place.

When Pixie reveals a local woman reputed to have psychic powers wants to meet Lei, the invitation is anything but welcome.

What Lei discovers about the sorcery of belief, and the love promised to her future will begin to heal wounds she’s carried for far too long.

One pack. One dog. One enemy. One mission: protect the family.

Descended from the Drover Dogs of Rome, Keiki has quite a legacy to live up to. The Rottweiler ancestors followed men into war, helped heard animals, and protected flocks from predators. All these tasks took great skill to bear the responsibility.

In the modern world, Keiki's role remains much the same. She must protect Lei and her family. They are her pack and in need of her protection.

But what can she do when the enemy is fire? How will Keiki save her family from this raging, uncontrollable beast?

    1. Mai, I owned a small public relations firm prior to becoming a novelist. I suppose I'd return to PR--but I much prefer my current job!

  7. Christine...I live in SE North Carolina and am a sweet tea addict! I was so sorry to read of the senseless shooting in Charleston. I am familiar with one of the victims, she was a long-time librarian at the Charleston Public Library. I'm a librarian here in Wilmington, NC.

    1. Such sad news, Catherine and my condolences on the way it touches you directly. I LOVE libraries, and you librarians have made my life much richer. Thank you for taking the time to visit and comment (and, my friend used to ask me if I wanted some tea in my sugar water...so, I was way too fond of sweet tea, even though I didn't grow up in the south, lol).
