Press ReleaseDavid C. Terry's New Novel, 'Carolina Bays,' Set Amid Authentic Mystery in North Carolina CovesMysterious Disappearances Mark Author's Action-Packed Third NovelJACKSONVILLE, N.C., April 9, 2007 -- Up and down the Eastern Seaboard, a half-million elliptical depressions in the earth known as the Carolina Bays have mystified scientists and the public alike since the first aerial photos of the area were taken in the mid-1930s. The Bays' dubious origins and remarkably uniform characteristics have long sparked heated debate - and not a few ghost stories.Now these natural phenomena are the setting for David C. Terry's new mystery novel, Carolina Bays (ISBN 1-59858-241-0, Dog Ear Publishing, http://www.carolinabaysbook.com). Terry weaves his story of intrigue and danger around the equally mysterious backdrop of the Carolina Bays. Freelance investigator Rick Parker, inspired by Terry's real-life friend of the same name, begins looking into the disappearance of a family in a lake near Charlotte, N.C. It's an investigation he's sure he can wrap up quickly, given his proven track record of solving the unsolvable. But strange things are happening out there in the Bays. As he gets deeper into the case, more people start disappearing - and when Rick realizes just how high the conspiracy reaches, not even his friends and family are safe. Although Carolina Bays is fictional, Terry uses real places and events to support the plot - and, as with his first two novels, The Vortex and A Gift from Afar, the author proves his ability to draw readers into the story and keep them turning pages. "I have always been interested in the various ghost stories and the folklore of the Carolina region," Terry explained. "That's why I became interested in the Carolina Bays. After doing a comprehensive research of the mysteries of the origin of these bays rich in biodiversity, I knew they would provide a perfect setting for this book." Carolina Bays is available through Dog Ear Publishing (http://www.dogearpublishing.net), Amazon, Barker & Taylor, Barnes & Noble, Borders, Ingram, and at fine bookstores nationwide. About the Author David Terry resides in Jacksonville, N.C., with his wife Charlene. Together they have four children, Kimberley, Brian, Christian and Mark.
