Why you must read Heidi Peltier’s Isola Di Squalo
Isola di Squalo is the first book in The Delmar Shark Chronicles series which centers around the royal family of the Mediterranean island of Isola di Squalo. The Delmar family is bound to protect the island and its people by a centuries old promise made by ancestor Merrick Delmar to a great sea beast. If the Delmars break their promise, the beast, a giant shark, returns to the island to punish them. In this story, American teenager Dylan Murphy, meets Princess Terra Delmar while interning with a world-renowned shark expert on the island. Their tense first meeting lands Dylan with the unsavory task of mending the already strained relationship between the Delmars and the shark study institute, and he learns that Princess Terra has problems she desperately wants to solve but keep hidden. But when a giant shark targets her younger brother during a routine swim, Dylan makes a decision that will change his future as well as that of the Delmars and the island itself. What genre is this? Exactly. Complete this sentence for us: if you like _________________, you’ll love my book. OK, if you like unlikely pairs, sharks, tropical paradises, and a mischievous bad guy, you’ll love my book! You mentioned a Dylan. Terra is all about duty – duty to her family, duty to her people, duty to her island home. Her father’s tragic illness brings her to the throne at a much younger age than she anticipated. She has trained all her life to be Queen, but there is one duty she just cannot fulfill, and Dylan Murphy may just be her ticket out. You mentioned that this is a series. The third book in the series is still a work in progress. In the end, there will be five books in all. Tell us a bit about yourself. That’s sweet. We’ll bear it in mind while reading it. On Facebook, I’m better known as Heidi Peltier – Author Page. Isn’t that a clever name? And on Twitter, I’m @HeidiPeltier1 because, you know, I wanted to be #1. What’s next? How easily do new storylines come to you? If we give you four random words – Man, Woman, Mexico, Future – can you give us a brief storyline? Oddly, the random words you gave me fit right into a story that’s been churning in my head for about a year now. But I’m not giving anything away! |
