As a resident and Briny author, I was pleasantly surprised to see a front-page article about Briny’s library and Briny authors (“Tiny Briny library has an abundance of local authors,” March 2026).
I was equally disappointed to see that the one sentence in the article referencing me states that “... Snyder-Carroll offers her ‘Joe the Plumber’ mystery trilogy,” which incorrectly implies that is the entirety of my work.
Since 2013, I have written and self-published the following novels, most of which I advertised in your paper:
• The Dangerous Things Trilogy — Three suspense murder mysteries set primarily in Briny Breezes.
• Click/Kill — an historical, sci-fi, murder mystery.
• Catch Me Some Sky — a YA murder mystery.
• When the Moon Hits your Eye ... — just released last week, a quirky romance novel set in both Italy and America.
All of my novels are available on Amazon.com, where you can read the beginning chapters.
The Coastal Star is a great newspaper with high standards, and I understand there are space constraints. However, for such a lengthy article I do believe a better balance could have been struck.
