Murder Caribbean-Style

Diane Rapp became an entrepreneur when she started her own dog grooming salon in Santa Barbara, California. She spent the next thirty years as a small business owner; she sold real estate, started an office supply/copy center, and performed free-lance advertising design. During all those years Diane wrote stories as a cure for insomnia. She wrote short stories about dogs for a local German Shepherd Dog Club newsletter, and then expanded to full length novels. After Diane and her daughter Laura co-authored a travel guidebook entitled Cruising the Eastern Caribbean (four editions were published by Hunter Publishing) Laura gave Diane the idea of writing a mystery set on cruise ships in the Caribbean. Murder Caribbean-Style is the first novel of a series featuring Kayla, Steven and their friends. Muder on a Ghost Ship is the second novel in the series. The characters encounter smugglers, kidnappers, and murderers while they try to solve the murder of a ghost haunting the ship. Diane also writes a science fiction/fantasy series that is suitable for young and adult readers. You can find out more about her books at www.quicksilvernovels.com.
