Book Description
================
Synopsis: An orphan and a bastard, Jamie Sommers grew up knowing he 
had no hope of heaven. Conceived in adultery and born in sin, Jamie 
was destined to repeate the sins of his parents - or so the nuns told 
him. And he proved them right. Taking to the sea, Jamie sought out danger 
and adventure in exotic ports all over the world as a smuggler, gunrunner 
- and murderer.Tough enough to handle anything, he's survived foreign 
prisons, priates and a shark attack. But in a quiet seaside town in 
Delaware, Jamie discovered something that was enough to drive him insane 
and change his life forever. For it was in Hawles Harbor that Jamie 
came face to face with the ultimate evil....

S.E. Hinton on the book:
Hawkes Harbor is my first novel for an adult audience. I was getting 
itchy write something different. One of the perks of being a writer 
is having adventures while never leaving home, and boy, did I have some 
adventures with this one.

The narrative style, for instance, incorporating flashbacks with the 
present was a challenge. Especially since the flashbacks are not in 
chronological order. I even managed to stick in a flash-forward. I got 
to go to exotic places. Write scenes of tragedy and humor, sometimes 
both at the same time. Since all of the characters have distinctive 
speech patterns, the dialog was was very fun to write.

Hawkes Harbor, though different from my other books, is still very much 
a "S.E. Hinton" novel-character driven, focusing on relationships, a 
story of one man's journey to a different view of the world.

I think most writers begin because writing is fun-which grows out of 
a conviction that reading is fun. My hope for readers of Hawke's Harbor 
is that they have as much pleasure in reading it as I did writing it.-
