About Mangrove Bayou
Mangrove Bayou is a small gulfcoast Florida town located someplace south of Naples and east of the Moon and in the midst of the Ten Thousand Islands / Everglades National Park region..
Troy Adam is police chief and head of a small department. For such a small and remote town, Mangrove Bayou seems to be a hotbed of crime, both major and trivial. Troy and his small band of officers deal with it all, assisted or hindered by a collection of residents who redefine the term character.
Stephen Morrill writes about Mangrove Bayou in a series of police procedural mystery novels with a twist, as the Mangrove Bayou police force is small and the location remote. The books combine humor, weird characters, occasional social commentary, and serious police work, all taking place in a unique setting.

Monday, 12 March, 2018: The Smashwords annual sale is over. I gave away 34 books and sold one. The theory is that some of those 34 will turn into sales of other books in that series. I don't know; I had not participated in these sales before. We shall see.
I would point out that, while Smashwords notifies me of every direct sale, I have no clue who buys what in any of a dozen other sites that Smashwords supplies. I just get monthly summaries. My print publisher, Untreed Reads does quarterly reports.
I did get a heartwarming email from one reader:
Just recently discovered the Mangrove Bayou series. I purchased all of the titles. Having spent 30 years as a Conn. State Trooper I hope I was the kind of cop Troy Adams is. Hopefully more Mangrove Bayou books are coming. Thanks

Today I'll start uploading to the Troy Adam / Mangrove Bayou Smashwords account. I had to reformat the books to better suit the various requirements of some e-book readers. No change to the stories, just to the formats.
