Topsail Island is a 26-mile barrier island, its pristine shores constantly shifting with the ebb and flow of the tides. This timeless treasure has long been known as one of North Carolina's best-kept secrets--a family-friendly beach--the kind we all loved as children and want our children's children to fondly remember. The island has always had a love affair with everything fishy--from piers to boats to businesses. In the late 1940s, the face of Topsail changed forever when the government seized the island for Operation Bumblebee, a top-secret mission to develop a supersonic missile. After the project ended, the three towns of Surf City, Topsail Beach, and North Topsail Beach grew and prospered. Bridges have played a huge part in Topsail's development, providing links to the rest of the world.

Topsail Island is a North Carolina barrier island lying between the Outer Banks and Wilmington. Though 26 miles long, it is but 200 yards wide in places and encompasses only 15 square miles. Residents and visitors call it a stretch of paradise.Or even "Mayberry."It's easy to see why. Because of its small land area, Topsail has not been subject to the large-scale development of island communities like Nags Head to the north and Wrightsville Beach to the south. Indeed, it remains largely in the idyllic state those places knew half a century ago-a small beach town with few commercial trappings, a family haven whose devotees return generation after generation, a paradise where it's possible to watch the sun rise over the Atlantic Ocean and set over Topsail Sound from the same cottage.But Topsail's outward simplicity belies its rich history and complex future. The island's name? Legend says it was born when the pirate Blackbeard hid his ship behind the island, lying in wait. Those strange block-like towers spaced along the beach? Remnants of a top-secret missile program. The sweeping new bridge? Travel is smoother and quicker, but gone is the beloved and iconic Swing Bridge. Fishing piers and the modest old-time cottages with the whimsical nameplates? They've survived some of the worst storms Mother Nature has devised -- infamous storms like Hazel, Bertha, Fran, and Florence -- only to see their owners tempted by developers offering big money. Then there are the giant sea turtles, the secret Gold Hole, the historic Ocean City "Black beach," the massive whale carcass, the mystery of the dead captain and his shipwreck, and even a traveling bear. In the award-winning Topsail Island: Mayberry by the Sea, author Ray McAllister tells the many stories of Topsail with the help of those who love the island best.

Waterlogged is the first book in A Murder by the Sea series by Carol Ann Ross. There are three communities on Topsail Island: Surf City, Topsail Beach, North Topsail Beach. Residents of all three enjoy a low-key, laid-back lifestyle most months of the year. Folks stop and chat for a few minutes at the grocery store, romantic souls stroll leisurely along the beach, searching for sand dollars and shark's teeth. Many relax by fishing and boating in the calm coastal waters. Yes, life is easy. But when summer arrives and vacationers flock to the Island, things change. The pace quickens as the population quadruples. Smells of suntan lotion and outdoor barbeques permeate the air. A constant ripple of wakes made by boaters fills the waterways and beaches become crowded with sunbathers and surfers frolicking in the Atlantic. There is no doubt that tourist season is a far cry from the easygoing off-season months. To most, it is a time for fun in the sun on Topsail Island. But for a few, it's just plain old murder.

A novel based on the history of Topsail Island, NC, beginning with the final days of piracy in the era dominated by the infamous Blackbeard. The story winds its way through a suspicious search for Blackbeard's treasure in The Dirty Thirties, the subsequent use of the island as a US Military Rocket Testing Facility after World War 2, through the tourism boom in the 1990's, the real estate crash of 2008 and culminating in the island's subsequent recovery. Wendell Forbes, a young real estate developer, dreamed only of success when he purchased development property on Topsail Island. When the bottom fell out of the market, facing bankruptcy, he devised an audacious plan to save his subdivision. Unfortunately his adversary was desperately awaiting Forbes' failure. His plan was to acquire both the land and Blackbeard's elusive treasure.

Bridge Tender is the second book in the Murder by the Sea series by Carol Ann Ross. The little swing bridge that takes you to Topsail Island has been there for over half a century. It’s seen just about everything, who comes across, who goes across-with whom, at what times, and how often. It’s all normal for small-town life and small-town gossip. But as the population of the island soars, sights it’s never seen before have become commonplace. There’s been another murder and it seems that it is not only the good that die young. The nefarious events are rocking the very core of the small coastal town and thought Topsail Island may be used to sudden thunderstorms cropping up from time to time, now, when lightening of a more sinister nature strikes twice in succession, the local police detectives realize there’s more to it and the unexpected twists and turns are baffling. Meanwhile, the bridge tender keeps a watchful eye on everything.
