The Sand Swallows Everything

R. A. Williams

"SURPRISE ME," Kelly says to the big guy.

NEVER SAY SURPRISE me to a stranger in a strange bar! But this guy seems harmless, buying everyone drinks, taking selfies, singing corny old songs. And all he asked her was, "What are you drinking?"

Kelly O'Malley is twenty-one, gay and out, working in Rehoboth Beach for the summer, out dancing with her crew on her night off. Just another hot night at the beach. Just another big spender handing her a free cocktail.

In minutes she's throwing up and blacking out. Hours later she wakes up being brutally assaulted. The big guy's still crooning the same old song. And he's certainly going to kill her when he's finished with her.

Kelly is tougher than she looks. She has surprises of her own to hand out, and she's a survivor. But surviving this terrifying night is only the beginning for her. Now she has secrets to keep, and secrets to share. And secrets she needs to find, buried in the sand.

THE SAND SWALLOWS EVERYTHING is part thriller, part mystery, part lesbian romance and LGBTQ+ coming-of-age tale-and a wild hot ride through danger, love, anger, and hope.
