MY REVIEW.
Blake is a bit of a douche, a thief and embezzler. I seesaw back and forth with him trying to cut him some slack, but enjoying watching him sweat.
Whispers of pirate treasure and ghosts on the wind.
On this small isolated island it seems all the residents are running from something. Do they all have secrets? All the characters seem to be a mess of one kind or another. Sly, sneaky, secretive…I do love bad guys. What would the world be without villains?
Mal, I am very suspicious of her and I am curious if my thoughts are correct. Time will tell.
Will they find out who has been blowing up the new runway? Is there any treasure? So many questions I am waiting to have answered.
I laughed all the way to the answer to the mysteries of Blacktip Island. A cross between Magnum PI and Pink Panther. I can see him putting around on his scooter. I enjoyed my time on the island, snorkeling, treasure hunting, dodging the law and those who would betray me…and Hugh, wondering what comes next.
I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Blacktip Island by Tim W Jackson.
GOODREADS BLURB
Inadvertent embezzler Blake Calloway high-tails it to the Caribbean, a step ahead of the Feds and desperate to restart life as an anonymous divemaster in a tropical paradise. On Blacktip Island, though, Blake quickly discovers “tropics” doesn’t mean “paradise,” and rookie boat hands stick out like a reef at low tide.
The locals are quirky: a landlord who swears he’s Fletcher Christian reincarnated, a boss who likes fish better than people, a sloshed resort manager with a sex-crazed wife, a possibly ax-murdering neighbor, and a girlfriend who just might turn Blake in for the reward money. Blake steers a ragged course between them, trying to straighten out the mess he’s made before the cops can track him down and haul him away.
Blacktip Island is an irresistible comedy for anyone who’s ever dreamed of trading the rat race for a hammock under the palm trees
ABOUT TIME W JACKSON
Armed with a newly-minted master’s degree in creative writing, former journalist Tim W. Jackson knew he was qualified to be a bartender, a waiter, or to apply to a PhD program. Instead he chose Secret Option D: run off to the Caribbean to work as a scuba instructor by day and write fiction at night. More than a decade later, he still wishes that was half as interesting as it sounds. Or even a quarter . . .
Jackson is the award-winning author of the literary novel Mangrove Underground and The Blacktip Times humor blog. His second novel, Blacktip Island, is a comic misadventure set in the Caribbean. His “Tales From Blacktip Island” short stories have been published in literary journals worldwide. He is currently concocting his next Blacktip Island novel, The Secret of Rosalita Flats.

A portion of the proceeds from his stories goes to the Nature Conservancy’s Coral Reef Preservation Fund.
