Turtle Crawl
ByPublisher Description
When her marriage implodes, Rose Summer must leave behind everything she loved: her husband, her home, her shop, even her dog. With nowhere else to go, she returns to the only other place she ever felt happy: Key West, a bawdy tourist town at the tip of the Florida Keys. Working as a waitress in the same busy restaurant she served when she was young, and living with two other women, her once joyful life has grown small and bleak.
Then she meets Kurt, a wanderer with a tragic past of his own. Following an instinct she can't explain, Rose tries to draw him out of his shell and back into the world. Overcoming mistakes, misunderstandings, and the unwanted attentions of a potentially dangerous stalker, Rose opens her heart to Kurt and convinces him that life could be better.
Together, these two wounded souls can find happiness again, but only if they can overcome the obstacles that life throws at them. Like a turtle on the beach, they must navigate off the rocks and take one slow, careful step at a time across the sands toward fulfillment.

About Chris Mason
Chris Mason was a software engineer for 18 years, including 10 years at Microsoft working on Word and Office. He would rather have spent that time writing novels, but someone had to make enough money to buy dog food. He is also the founder of GrowlyBird Software, which develops free Macintosh applications. Born in Ohio, Chris has moved around too much for anyone's good, living in several places that might be considered tourist attractions. He mines those experiences for the settings of his books. He lives in Florida with his wife, two dogs, two cats, and a smart-aleck macaw who has pets of her own. You can contact him through his publisher: quaternarypub at gmail.
