I’m coming along with the first draft of my novel, The Death of the Gecko. Been working on it pretty much full time since last September. Here is a brief summary of its direction:

The Death of the Gecko
by Amanda Byrd (pen name)

…a romantic eco-thriller Coming Soon.

What do you get on the Central California Coast in the strawberry fields when you combine billionaire corporate ag boys and gang bangers, homeless people and ghosts, Native Americans, surfers, pesticides and salmon, illegal immigrants, love, sex, a priest, and some elementary school teachers? How do you spell D*E*A*T*H?

“El Gecko? That’s his placa – his gang tag, you know. A street name. Kind of like a nickname his homeboys call him.”
