Wages Of Sin

About the Book

Have you ever wished you could run away to a tropical island and escape from all of your problems? In Shelly Taylor’s Wages of Sin, Penny did just that. Stalked by a notorious gang, Penny takes a suggestion from a T-shirt and buys a one way ticket to Maui. She is immediately adopted by a cave dwelling, pot growing Viet Nam vet. From hippies to druggies to restaurateurs; Penny spends years flopping to and fro from the frying pan to the fire. Eventually she settles into a seemingly safe routine of work and friendships. One can’t run away forever, though. Sudden events bring the past reeling back full force. A choice must be made. Which way will she go?

About the Author

Shelly Taylor was born in Anchorage Alaska. Her mother was the teen-aged party animal daughter of old time homesteaders. Shelly grew up on moose meat, caribou, reindeer sausage, and smoked salmon. She began her adult life at an early age. She’s been called ‘wild and crazy’ by friend and foe, and her misadventures have taken her to the farthest reaches of the globe. Still somewhat of a beach bum; Shelly works odd jobs to pay for her writing career. Wages of Sin is based on true events. A sequel is following. Stay tuned. XXOO
