"A fine blend of mystery and romance."
— Kirkus Review - May 1, 2009

"A bobbing bottle in the ocean pulls readers into a dark tale of love gone wrong in The Last Resort. Author April Star waves a compelling tale of honor and betrayal."
— Carolyn Hart - Best Selling Author of Death of Demand, Henrie O, and the new Bailey Ruth Raeburn Mystery Series.

"A fast-paced and entertaining tale! If you've ever wondered what wackos might visit an RV campground, pick up a copy of The Last Resort. Murder, romance, and potluck dinners will whet your appetite for more from this talented author."
— Nancy J. Cohen - Author of KILLER KNOTS: A Bad Hair Day Mystery

A message in a bottle-only it's not the kind of message anyone wants to find. April Star's THE LAST RESORT begins with the bottle and takes the reader on a fascinating adventure to find the sick murderer of a lovely woman. It's so nice to hear from David and Laura again and to know they're happily married!"
— Alice Duncan - Editor and Best Selling Multi-Published Author.

"The whodunit is terrific as is the insider's look at an RV park, which brings out a horde of differing characters who enhance the investigation. THE LAST RESORT is an enjoyable mystery with a wonderful late twist."
—Harriet Klausner

I started penning stories when I was five-years-old and learned the wonder of stringing letters together to make words, and words together to make stories. Professionally, I've been writing since 1976. I collected more than 200 rejection slips during my three decades as an apprentice wordsmith. Finally, determination and tenacity paid off when I received "the call" from Five Star|Gale in September of 2005 for my debut novel, Tropical Warnings: A Wanderlust Mystery. I think one knows they're a writer when writing is something they have to do to survive and remain alive. Like breathing, I write because I have to. I sometimes think it is ink, not blood, that runs through my veins!
