256 pages...
That puts it at about "Tales from Margaritaville" length.
(Shorter than WIJM and significantly shorter than APL@50 and ASPOL)

Have you read "Tales from Margaritaville"? If not, I strongly, STRONGLY recommend you read it before "Salty Piece of Land". You'll have a greater appreciation of Tully Mars if you do.

Agree. I am thinking time for a reread on all of those.

wonder if Amazon will sell it as a combo, "Folks who buy this, buy" with HST's "Nation of Swine" and Paul Prudhomme's, "Foooey!! How to Cook with Andouille"

I take it this is a work of fiction? I didn't see otherwise on the Amazon site. I wonder if we'll see some old characters or just new ones. Can't wait for it to come out.

Her long lost twin brother moved to the city long ago and now she will finally have the chance to find him. But when she finds herself locked inside the apartment, with an evil chef is lurking outside, Rumpy has to overcome the obstacles. Will she ever be able to get down to the streets and find her twin? All she needs is a few new friends and the perfect disguise…
