Anyone like the beach? This is my one of my favorites, Assateague Island, off Virginia's Eastern Shore. It's right next to Chincoteague, a place our family loves to go.

Kit McGovern's quest for the beach child's killer leads her deep into a network of human traffickers... and forces her to confront her own traumatic past.
Here's the house on Chincoteague where my grandparents lived when I was growing up.
Above are the famous Chincoteague ponies. The setting for Beach Child was a natural for me.
