Summer Thunder - Alan B. Gibson

. .

Résumé :
A small beach town in California, a woman who doesn't believe in magic, and the man who is about to prove her wrong... Lily doesn't need to believe to make a living. The fairy figurines she makes draw in customers who come to the Boardwalk to catch a glimpse of magic. When the reigning kite-surfing world champion wanders into her store, Lily has no idea that her life is about to get turned upside down. Theos seems an unlikely customer for a fairy figurine, but when he buys one, he takes on a second mission-to convince Lily that magic is real. Theos is more than a handsome, charismatic athlete. He's also the crown prince of a fairy kingdom. The competition Theos came to Myers Beach to take part in is disrupted by his father's news of an act of revenge with far-reaching consequences. The King tasks Theos with replacing the contaminated fairy dust their people need to survive. His monumental task means sourcing the nine elements that make the dust before the illness sweeping through the fairies takes the ultimate toll. The good luck pendant Lily gives Theos sets in motions a series of magical events that bring them together. Can the woman who doesn't believe in fairies be the answer to the fairies' dilemma? What fate awaits the prince and the shopkeeper if they try?

Biographie:
After four decades of writing copy for thirty and sixty-second commercials and building a reputation as one of the most creative in entertainment advertising, Alan B. Gibson switched gears and turned to writing mystery/thrillers.One cold and damp Scottish evening during a fireside chat with some fellow authors where he'd been disparaging the Romance genre, a colleague challenged him to pen one. Fueled by single malt whiskey, and without considering the implications of the task, he accepted, and over the next few months wrote Summer Thunder. The experience made him a convert to Romance/Fantasy, and that novel became the first in the Magic at Myers Beach series.While still serving a few select advertising clients, he serves as Co-founder and Chairman of OneClick.chat, a video social engagement platform that helps mitigate the onset of dimension in older adults.Currently, he shares a house in a two-hundred-year-old village with a prince.
