Murder in the Bayou. When Wes Darling sails into the Dog River, his kissin’ cousin soon fills his life with one threat after another as he goes up against a shady character named Fish, a crooked retired CIA agent, and a bayou filled with gators. The Dog River may just prove to be Wes’s downfall. ----I thoroughly enjoyed this sequel to Key Lime Blues. Wes is again in trouble and getting beaten up repeatedly. He's also got the ladies after him too. I like reading about his experiences taking his boat to different locales. The author is great about describing the areas so that you feel like you can almost see them. Wes also meets plenty of colorful characters while he is in Mobile.--Rita R. Sheppard----I love stories like this. The coastal areas of the Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana are full of beautiful, mysterious bayous and backwaters...the perfect place to hide a villain in a good novel. The story takes place mostly in the Dog River Marina near Mobile, Alabama, but ventures out into the more murky marshes. I enjoyed the author's sometimes quirky characters who live aboard their various boats at the marina and the southern "characters", both good and evil, who inhabit the surrounding areas. Lots of good plot twists and just enough sexual tension to make a really good read.--L.Tabor----Kept my interest all the way to the end. Good character development. I'll definitely read this author again.--Bill Phillips I wrote  Dog River Blues  after living for two years on our sailboat in Mobile, Alabama. It was an interesting experience for someone who had lived his entire life in the North. None of the characters in the book are real, but like all of my books, the characters I write about are as realistic as I can write them. Many of the locations in the book are places I visited. Enjoy. In September of 2003 my wife, Mary, and I moved aboard our 36-foot sailboat, Rough Draft. Over the past 15 years, this move has proved to be the adventure of a lifetime. We first traveled on the inland river system from Minnesota to Mobile, Alabama. We lived in Mobile for two years docked at a small marina. Hurricane Katrina dropped our boat into a neighbor's backyard. After rescuing the boat we then sailed to Florida where we spent three months living at a mooring in Key West. From there we cruised up the east coast to Ft. Lauderdale where we lived on the boat and I wrote for six years.  We hoisted the sails once again in the spring of 2012, traversed the Gulf Stream, and explored the Abaco Islands in the Bahamas until hurricane season sent us back to Florida. From there we sailed up to the Chesapeake, then back down to Florida where we suffered boat damage during hurricane Matthew. Five of my six books were written while living on the boat and I am currently working on the second book in my world's worst detective series.
