A secluded scenic seaside village located on the California coast north of Santa Barbara appears to be the perfect haven for several people dealing with tragic events from their past. But not everything is what it seems as colorful townspeople deal with personal scandals and misfortunes, while a serial killer hides among them in plain sight. The Soap Opera Inspired Story Collection Series is written in a script-like format instead of the usual way done in books such as Gone with the Wind. Characters in this series will move from one book to another in order for unresolved plotlines to conclude in a realistic way. This scripted format can best be described as binge-watching every season of classic television shows like Knots Landing within a week or two except the story is played out on a printed page and not filmed on video for broadcast.
