You'll remember today's guests from many visits in the past and their character, Skylar Drake from previous books.
Today Janet and Will are bringing us a brand new title, Strange Markings....
The
Pacific breezes blow many things in from the ocean, this time its power, greed,
and murder. At the dawn of the television age in 1955, Skylar Drake is called
to identify the remains of a fellow movie stuntman found buried in a shallow
grave. While there, he is shown mysterious wounds and strange tattoos on two
additional bodies.
A
wealthy Bel Air matron sends her enticing niece to enlist Drake’s help in
locating a missing nephew. The search takes him back to pre-statehood Hawaii
where he stopped off on his way to the hell of the Korean War. Unexplained deaths,
politics and superstitious locals turn the tropical paradise into a nightmare where
nothing is what it seems and no one can be trusted.
Since Strange Markings is set in Hawaii, Janet decided to send us a recipe instead of an excerpt!

Intriguing plot. It's great that Janet & Will have combined their talents for this series.
With a son living in Hawaii, I am quite familiar with the luscious and ethnically varied foods available there. The book sounds yummy, too!
Wow, I am all over this book! I spend much time in Oahu with family and just got back from The Big Island. In fact, I set a Christmas novels in Honolulu is 1891 so I have a great interest in historic Hasaii too. This book sounds so unique! Best of luck, Janet and Will.
How nice to have a husband and wife work together on a novel! Hawaii seems like a great location for a novel.
Thanks for blogging today Will and Janet. Your recipe sounds like something my niece, who must eat gluten free, would love. Thank you. And enjoy your team writing. The book sounds intriguing. Cheers
This book sounds great! And I love Hawaii. My Hawaiian Heat series is set on Maui. Doing research for Book One, THE MARRIAGE TRAP, was sooo fun! Maybe I should put Pineapple Haupia in Book Two. Thanks for the recipe.
Does sound like a great book and yummy recipe doesn't it!
Thanks for stopping by Ladies!

Having NO experience with Hawaii, I bask in the climate, the aura and the foods vicariously. Love it when an author makes the islands real.
Sorry I didn't make it by yesterday...sounds like a great read. Love the unique premise. And, the recipe sounds yummy!
