The Adventures of the Bluewater Bay Sequinettes is a collection of four previously published novellas that reveal the stories of the women who live in Bluewater Bay. The stories include Welcome to Bluewater Bay, Christmas Comes to Bluewater Bay, Mystery in Bluewater Bay, and Love Blooms in Bluewater Bay. In Welcome to Bluewater Bay, the lives of the women in this charming town join together to learn how to dance. There is Neddie and Liz, who own Bluewater Bay Antiques and Collectibles; Pam, the longtime proprietor of Pam's Pottery Barn; and Maris, a young newcomer who comes to town looking for something she is missing. These ordinary, yet extraordinary women, along with a host of other characters, illustrate to the reader what it is like to be surrounded by sharing, caring women. In Christmas Comes to Bluewater Bay, the women of Bluewater Bay join together to celebrate the Christmas holidays, along with the dreams and adventures that only true friends can share. This small-town setting is the backdrop for a story, which explores the comfortable and caring atmosphere of the lives of ordinary, yet extraordinary, women and their circle of friendship. In Mystery in Bluewater Bay, mysterious events just keep popping up all over town. Jackson Maris, a respected historical preservationist, has accepted a job restoring an old mansion only to discover he has taken on more than he can handle. There is a mysterious man who keeps sneaking around town. Even worse an old secret may be revealed which could destroy a prestigious family. Can Clarissa Miller, the local librarian, solve these puzzles before things get out of hand? Love Blooms in Bluewater Bay begins when police officer Michael Carmichael stops in to inquire about ballroom class. The dance teacher, Maris Robinson, is rendered motionless. Fortunately, her friends and fellow tap dancing Sequinettes quickly intervene by creating an imaginary class as a means to promote a courtship between Michael and Maris. Meanwhile, a handsome newcomer is proposing a full-blown revitalization project that has Pam, the proprietor of Pam's Pottery Barn, seeing red (she also notices the cute cleft in his chin). Will something as innocent as an overstuffed picnic basket, tear these lovebirds apart? The down-home warmth of another encounter in Bluewater Bay continues in this romantic comedy, where longtime relationships are explored, and new love begins to bloom. Throughout each book, you will find yourself wishing you could spend time with these adorable women, as they stumble through a series of frenzied misadventures.
