Most people dream of being stranded on a tropical island, but down-on-his-luck Cal Batten just wants to sell his dad's ramshackle, football-shaped house, fly home and pay off his creditors. Unfortunately for him, nothing on Blacktip Island goes smoothly. Or quickly.

His dad's will is nowhere to be found. What passes for an attorney has a taste for rum and is working his own agenda. The locals reckon there's treasure stashed in the house and are ready to tear the place apart to get at it. And his childhood former-best friend, now a beautiful scuba instructor, might just drown him out of spite. There's also the matter of sharks showing up every time he gets in the water. If Cal can't figure out what his old man was mixed up in, fast, he may end up stuck on the crazy backwater island, broke and homeless.

The Secret of Rosalita Flats is a smart, funny tropical misadventure for anyone who's ever dreamed of chucking it all and running off to the Caribbean.

Jackson, Tim W.: - Tim W. Jackson's first taste of scuba diving came at the age of six when he sneaked breaths off his dad's double-hose regulator in the deep end of the pool. Later, as an ex-journalist armed with a newly-minted master's degree in English, he discovered he was qualified to be a bartender, a waiter or a PhD student. Instead he chose Secret Option D: run off to the Cayman Islands to work as a scuba instructor and boat captain by day and write fiction at night. Two decades later, he still wishes that was half as interesting as it sounds. Or even a quarter . . . Jackson is the award-winning author of the comic Caribbean novels Blacktip Island and The Secret of Rosalita Flats, as well as The Blacktip Times humor blog. His Tales from Blacktip Island short stories have been published in literary journals worldwide. He is currently concocting his next Blacktip Island novel and still enjoys scuba diving with his dad's old double-hose reg.
