Terry Segan
Release  October 16, 2023
Cozy ghost mystery.
Rated PG

Marni Legend has embarked on the most perilous journey of her life—a vacation with her sister. The women are like two peas in a pod, providing each pod came from a different mother ship. One day into their Florida adventure, Marni questions her choice of travel partner. Gloria strives to understand her carefree younger sibling while kayaking and snorkeling without chipping a nail.
With nothing but eternity on his hands, Phil insists the sisters resolve the circumstances of his untimely demise. The wise-cracking spirit leads them on a trail filled with bartenders, bikers, and the promise of a hidden treasure.
Her greatest challenge will either be enduring a week with Gloria or surviving the thugs searching for the stolen booty. Can Marni figure out who to trust, who to avoid, and who she’d most likely want to be trapped alone in an elevator with?

The Story behind the Story.
Most of my stories are inspired by trips I’ve taken or places I’ve lived. Marni, the main character in my Marni Legend Series, currently lives on Long Island, NY, where I hail from. Manatee Soul, the second book in the series, takes place in Crystal River, FL. I went there on a girls’ trip a couple years ago. My traveling companion and I both dove in with both feet to go snorkeling with manatees and kayaking on the ocean. Marni’s sister, Gloria, requires a bit more (translated as lots more) encouragement to get into the water with large sea mammals. She continually had doubts that alligators weren’t lurking in wait as well. While we never saw any of those toothier creatures ourselves, we were told they did get spotted in the river from time to time. While Crystal River is a real town, I took the liberty of creating all the establishments mentioned, just like in Marni’s hometown of Northport. I have to admit, the hotel the two sisters stayed in had been inspired by the real outdated lodgings I experienced—shag carpet and all! Real life also lends itself to her infatuation with Max, her motorcycle riding love interest. My husband and I travel extensively on his motorcycle, which enabled me to accurately depict Marni’s experiences on the back of the bike. And perhaps Marni’s sarcastic humor aligns with my New York roots—maybe.

About the Author.
Terry Segan, originally from Commack, NY, now resides in the desert where she’ll never require an ice scraper or snow shovel again. The beach is her happy place, but any opportunity to travel soothes her gypsy soul. The stories conjured by her imagination while riding backseat on her husband’s motorcycle can be found throughout the pages of her paranormal mysteries. Growing up immersed in sarcastic humor and science fiction movies, Terry’s goals are to cause her readers to laugh out loud, cry with joy, or cower under the covers wondering if the noise under the bed was real or imagined.
