Big Bare Island
Big Bare Island
is the start of a new naturist series from the author of the Jane Cullen books—
The Naked Truth
and
The Ocean's Daughter
.
Jess is a corporate goth with a simple fight enshittification and make the world a slightly less terrible place.
No one was hiring.
Then she got a call from Big Bare Island — a naturist kingdom in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Yes, naturist. As in naked. As in everyone.
The monarch, King Louis the Sun God, hired her on the spot as the island’s new Chief Problem Solver.
Which raises some questions.
What kinds of problems could a tranquil naturist island possibly have? Why does a retired professor who looks like a tropical wizard keep leaving her mysterious gifts? And will Jess ever take off those damn combat boots?
Only one way to find out.

Marcel Lamothe has created a fantastic world for this story.
Bare Island
Mixed some magic, some hi tech, some aliens,
Added a buried city beneath the new one
Created a cast of interesting characters
Laid the foundations of several plot lines to develop
AND
... all of a sudden you flip to the next page and The End!
Now I have to wait for part two (at least maybe part three too)
