A Small-Town Affair
You go to the Shantyman! Where “baby-faced university students and hard-edged locals” boozily collide.
But do you ever just think to yourself, maybe I should quit the development/gravel/activism biz and just grow pot?
That doesn’t appear to be an option in Carnelian Cove.
How do you cope with the persistently chilly North Coast drizzle-gloom?
You don’t have to! Yes, the fog rolls in dreamily in the evening, and there is a bite to the air in the winter. But summers are warm enough to traipse around your job site in a fabulous sundress. Which is nice.

Not so fluffy…
You can smell the stench of Terry’s greenscare propaganda, it burns the eyes stronger than pepperspray. It’s not surprising that she promotes big development and attacks activists in her novel(her husband works for Eureka Ready Mix).
Kind of reminds me of Caltrans Richardson Grove Improvement Project(RIP) manager Kim Floyd’s husband Bryan Plumley. I’m sure Kim’s pursuit of the RIP has nothing to do with big development(and Plumley’s ties to Goldman Sachs).
I always thought that romance novels were trashy. Thanks for reaffirming my convictions.
Great article Heidi!
