Parrotfish dem Dance

Lured by work on an offshore cay development project, environmental engineer Paul and his wife Kristan relocate to the eastern Caribbean island of Turtle Cay. As they settle into their new world, Paul and Kristan meet Quinn, a capable sea captain and contractor who soon entrusts the couple with a long-held secret. Constant challenges confront Paul around his work on Hermit Cay, principally involving an unscrupulous developer who's allowing devastating impacts to the gorgeous island and its surrounding waters. Paul's every effort to prevent destruction is thwarted as he begins discovering misdeeds and nefarious dealings between the developer and the local government. With Quinn's help, he resorts to behind-the-scene measures for halting the onslaught.

Paul's narration of the story lets readers join him on his personal journey beyond long-held sentiments around alternative lifestyles that he now finds himself forced to reconcile. Parrotfish dem Dance is both a fictionalized exposé of corrupt government officials, their program heads and private sector cronies, and a tribute to hard-working locals challenged by life on small islands and relentlessly impacted by the corruption.
