OCEAN ISLE NOW AVAILABLE FOR KINDLE! 




Author's note: At long last the novel is available. I look forward to your feedback and reviews...for better or worse. If the story resonates with you, I only ask that you help spread the word via social media outlets...tell a friend on Facebook. I sincerely appreciate your help in getting the word out that my debut novel is now available. I encourage you to leave reviews, good or bad. The good reviews will spur sales and interest, while the bad ones will help make me a better author. The paperback should also be available on amazon early next week, as soon as I get the proof and approve the print (in process as we speak). I chose a 6x9 (over the 5x8) size-format for the novel, which shrunk the page count (more words per page on the 6x9). The page count would be approx. 327 pages on a more traditional 5x8, but comes in at 270 pages in the 6x9. Anyway, now it's time to get started on my next novel. I hope everyone has a great Christmas season. God bless you all!!

Kevin Pickell's Debut Novel Coming December 2013


When Alex and Emma take refuge at Ocean Isle, an idyllic and picturesque island along the North Carolina coastline, it all seems too good to be true:

   It is a place where Alex, a writer, can settle down and finish his novel. It is a place where he and Emma, the gothic beauty he is protecting, can hide and blend in. They can become faceless . . . safe.

   Their one and only worry is whether or not the tiny island can contain Emma's insatiable and forbidden hunger.

   And now the deadly forces they so desperately tried to elude have at last tracked them down. Alex and Emma won't be happy to see them coming . . . but they're coming just the same.
