Welcome to the Blog Tour for The Glades by Angela Hunt, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!
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.

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.

Excerpt
1958
Conrad Boone—Connie to his family—pushed through the double doors of the five-bed
hospital, the antiseptic smell sharp after hours of salt air and mangrove mud. His boots squeaked
on the polished floor. He had driven faster than he ever had in his life, hands tight on the
pickup’s steering wheel.
What if he missed it?
The waiting room held two people: his parents, Jim and Helen Boone.
His dad rose halfway from his chair, his face bright as he exhaled. His mother remained
seated, stiff, her mouth puckered as if she had bitten into a green persimmon.
“A baby boy,” Mom said. Her lips barely moved. “But your wife won’t let us in because
she says you have to see the baby first.”
A son!
He had barely nodded when he spotted a nurse in a doorway down the hall. She smiled and
beckoned. He crossed the floor in long strides and hurried inside.
In the dim light, a curtain stirred at the open window. Betty lay propped against white
pillows, her dark hair damp and tangled, the sheen of sweat on her forehead. On her chest lay a
tiny tan bundle in a cloth diaper, fists curled near his chin as if he had arrived ready to go a round
with the world.
“He’s here,” Betty said. “Ain’t he beautiful?”
Connie couldn’t speak.
