This week the Mermaid's Book Corner is highlighting Joey Jones. Joey is a personable fellow, one who's writing style I find very interesting--intriguing, and hard to put down. Here is a little more about Joey:
Joey Jones' writing style has been described as a mixture of Nicholas Sparks, Richard Paul Evans, and James Patterson. The ratings and reviews of his novels A Bridge Apart (2015), Losing London (2016), and A Field of Fireflies (2018) reflect the comparison to New York Times bestselling authors. Jones fell in love with creative writing at a young age and decided in his early twenties that he wanted to write a novel. His debut novel A Bridge Apart was years in the making as he tinkered with the book off and on while working full-time in the marketing field.
In February 2016, Joey Jones became a full-time novelist and published his second novel Losing London later that year. Each of his novels are suspenseful love stories set in Eastern North Carolina. In his spare time, Joey enjoys spending time with his family, playing sports, working out, reading, and exploring new places. His favorite meal is a New York Style Pizza with a Sweet Tea. He won the 8th-grade spelling bee at his school, but if you ask him how many students participated, he might say, “Such minor details are not important!” He currently lives in North Carolina with his family.
Thank you Joey for joining the Mermaid's Book Corner.

The Meet the Author Luncheon was a success!!! We sold out of tickets and I heard nothing but good things about the food! Thank you so much to all who attended. I truly hope you enjoyed yourself and learned a little about the wonderful authors we have surrounding us. Sales were great, all authors sold books. This says a lot about the quality of our authors.

This week's highlight is D.S. McKnight. I'm proud to say that I have known this woman for several years and always stand in amazement at her juggling act. Not only is she a mom and wife who works full time, she also finds time to write fabulous stories. In her spare time she is a fantastic photographer who spends oodles of time outdoors.
Deb has written two books, OF DREAMS AND SHADOW and THE REASONS WHY.Both are young adult and both are very well written. She is meticulous when it comes to anything she produces. Here is what Deb McKnight has to say about herself:
I'm D.S. McKnight, but you can call me Deb. I write Young Adult and New Adult Fiction. Some stories have a bit of a paranormal element while others are contemporary. All of my stories have a little romance. Writing gives me the opportunity to listen to the voices inside my head and not have my sanity questioned! I'm married, have three sons and make my home on the North Carolina Coast. You can find me at www.dsmcknight.com

The Mermaid's Book Corner is happy to welcome Sarah Maury Swan to our growing collection of local and area authors. A talented and accomplished writer, she has penned two books, both young adult. She is working on a third. We expect to see her this summer at one of our author signings.
Ms Swan counts articles and recipes published in national magazines as proof of her writing ability, in addition to frequently placing in the Carteret Writers’ annual contest, as well as the Pamlico Writers’ Group contest.
Her first published novel, Terror’s Identity, got excellent marks from the judge of the 2017 “Writer’s Digest Self-Published Books Contest,” children’s book category.
Her second novel, Emily’s Ride to Courage, is also garnering excellent reviews. Both books are available online through Amazon, Barnes & Nobles, and her website: http://sarahmauryswanlovesbooks. Better yet, stop by Mermaids Purse in Surf City or Next Chapter Books & Art in New Bern.
