The Conch Republic was an entry in the Amazon Breakout Novel Awards contest of 2008. As an ABNA semi-finalist that year, The Conch Republic was reviewed by Publishers Weekly. That review can be found following this brief synopsis.
Curt Randall has always lived his life responsibly. From the time he was little, he lived his life by one credo, one maxim that served as the guiding principle for his every move.
"You have to do what you have to do."
He secretly longed to be irresponsible, beholden to nobody. When Curt’s rich uncle died and bequeathed $5,000,000 to his favorite nephew, Curt seized his opportunity. He quit his job and bought a house in Key West, where early-retirement, libations, and sunsets awaited.
All was going according to plan until Curt met her. She is a New Age disciple who goes by the astral name, Rain. Rain dropped into Curt’s life and turned it upside down. At first, Rain complimented the lifestyle Curt was chasing, but their story does not have a happy ending. After Rain evaporated from Curt’s life, he found himself questioning why he had moved to Key West to begin with. Was irresponsibility what he really craved? Curt had also befriended Beth Sanders, a single mother who traveled a hard road in life before she ended up in Key West. When tragedy struck her family, Curt stepped up to help her and finally found what he was looking for. The Conch Republic is a story about a man who went to Key West searching for nothing, only to find everything.
