About the Book
Title: The Glades
Author: Angela Hunt
Publisher: Hunt Haven Press
Release Date: October 13, 2026
Genre: Suspense Thriller
When Katherine Armstrong arranges a birthday weekend on her husband's private island in the Everglades, she plans for everything: the guest list, the menu, the flowers, the careful distance between herself and the dark water beyond the dock.
She does not plan for the storm.
By nightfall, the power is gone, the mainland is unreachable, and something in the mangrove shadows has begun to move. Katherine has spent years building a life that looks flawless from the outside. Now, with her children beside her and the water on every side, she will have to decide what that life was actually worth.
Sixty years earlier, a World War II veteran named Conrad Boone made a decision on these same waters — one that seemed containable, even necessary, at the time. He passed the consequence of that decision to his family. They learned to live with it. And the island learned to keep its secrets.
Until the storm.
The Glades moves between a Florida that no longer exists and a Florida that is drowning in its own inheritance, between a man who thought he could manage what he'd done and a woman who never knew there was anything to manage. What lives beneath the water has been patient for sixty years.
It will not be patient much longer.

Excerpt
Connie nodded toward the bull croc on the sand. “That’s Romeo.”
The Nile was thirty-six years old—two years younger than Micco—but twice his length. He lay motionless in the sun, his jaw open, his hide the color of old bark. Patient. Aware of everything.
“The females are Crimson, Clover, and Buttercup.”
Micco turned. “Whatever possessed you to name them—”
“Songs,” Connie said. “Top of the charts back then.”
Micco gripped the railing of the feeding platform. When he gave it a shake, the railing wobbled. “How often do you replace this?”
“Every seven or eight years.” Connie kept his attention on Romeo. “Never lean on it. The wood swells and screws come loose. That railing is the only thing keeping you out of that water.” He paused. “But it’s not the only thing you have to maintain.”
He pointed toward the lagoon’s retaining wall, walking Micco through its construction and maintenance as he’d rehearsed it a hundred times. The mangrove roots that burrowed into the concrete and had to be cut back, the patching that followed. The inlet that clogged after heavy rains—even a fraction over six inches, and you rode out here, no matter the weather, no matter the hour, because a blockage could back the water up fast. A flooded lagoon was not a problem you solved in hindsight.
“You can’t underestimate ‘em,” Connie said. “They’re smart. I’ve seen ‘em balance sticks on the end of their snouts to lure herons—that’s downright cunning. I’ve also seen ‘em work together to herd fish. Romeo might be the smartest of the lot, and he gets bored.”
About the Author
Christy-Award winner Angela Hunt writes for readers who have learned to expect the unexpected in novels from this versatile author. With nearly six million copies of her books sold worldwide, she is the best-selling author of more than 160 works ranging from picture books (The Tale of Three Trees) to novels and nonfiction.
Now that her two children are grown, Angie and her husband live in Florida with Very Big Dogs (a direct result of watching Sandlot too many times). This affinity for mastiffs has not been without its rewards--one of their dogs was featured on Live with Regis and Kelly as the second-largest canine in America. Their dog received this dubious honor after an all-expenses-paid trip to Manhattan for the dog and the Hunts, complete with VIP air travel and a stretch limo in which they toured New York City. Afterward, the dog gave out paw-tographs at the airport.
When she's not home writing, Angie often travels to teach writing workshops at schools and writers' conferences. And to talk about her dogs, of course.
