ISLAND ODYSSEY is a novel set in the early 1970's in Negril, Jamaica, a pristine fishing village long before it became the tourist resort that it is today. The international counter-culture hippie generation that were seeking a simple life in a Garden of Eden paradise, found this beautiful jewel in the Caribbean and lived out their dreams, little realizing that their innocence, ideals, and money, would influence and forever change the native people they had grown to love so much. This book is a treasure for every baby boomer to rediscover the hopes and dreams of an era long gone by. For the idealists of intervening and present day generations, ISLAND ODYSSEY will stimulate their minds and hearts with visions of romance, adventure, and fascinating life challenges. ISLAND ODYSSEY is a cinematic view of a paradise that once existed, and to some extent continues to live on in the wonderful village of Negril, Jamaica.
I am tooting my horn here, as the author of this self-published novel. I completed writing it while staying on the West End in May 2011, visiting all my old hangs and interviewing Jamaican friends from the 70's who were still alive. And, if you do purchase the book - well, thank you.
And I thank Rob for permitting me to advertise the book. By the way, I make $0.09 per copy as I have it listed at the lowest possible price to cover the printing. If you want a free copy, email me and I will send you a PDF download; I only ask that you tell your friends about the book by sending them the above URL. franlynn36@gmail.com
Thanks again and cool runnings!
