Books by Andrew K. Coakley
Share my World
Before there was ever radio or television, there were books. They were the vehicles that were used to take our imaginations on tremendous journeys around the world without ever leaving the place where we sat to read them. Books allow authors to take on the role of film makers and take our audiences on mental movie marathons, as we paint each scene, develop each character and unfold each plot...all with our words. I'm previleged to be among that prestigious group of people mandated with the task of using words to tell stories. I'm excited to be a part of the world of authors and writers. And I invite you to share in my journeys thus far in the books which I have authored in my short career as a writer. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.
It took Marcel Petty a long time to climb his way up the ladder of political success - something which his detractors said was impossible – to become the first black Governor of a British-ruled island in the Caribbean and give Pink Pearl Island its independence.
After 22 years of leadership, with general elections approaching, Governor Petty is reluctantly letting go of the Governorship, but has plans to turn it over to his son. However, a spike in deadly crime on the island and allegations of corruption is turning the hearts of the people away from the beloved Governor.
The crime wave is gaining international attention and scaring potential foreign investors. To make matters worse, the fear of Human trafficking is surfacing as boys on the island begin disappearing.
Can Governor Petty get the crime on Pink Pearl Island under control and solve the missing boys dilemma all before elections come around? He’d better, because a local Reporter is investigating it all.
Women with jobs, Men with PMS
​
​Here is a book which looks at the changing roles of men and women and how such a change affects the relationship between the two. The book contains various stories about how a redefined role of men and women in today's society is brewing a new war between the sexes.
Does it affect a relationship when a woman makes more money than a man? Does this make him feel any less than a man? Have men abandoned their role as leaders? How does PMS affect a man in terms of his job and career? If men and women are on the same level financially, who controls the relationship?
All of these, and more are addressed in this revealing book. Follow four friends who face challenges in their own relationships and listen in on ideas they come up with as a means of dealing with their respective delimma.
The Sweetheart Syndrome
​
The title of this book may be confusing to some. You see, depending on where you live, a "Sweetheart" is the one to whom you are married to or the one with whom you are in a relationship with. However, in some parts of the world, a "Sweetheart" is the exact opposite - it's the one with whom a spouse cheats.​
​
This book takes a look at infidelity, how it affects a marriage and a relationship and some of the consequences as a result. It is written in a practical style, with truths wrapped in various stories of people who have found themselves in such a predicament. Its a follow up to my book "Women with Jobs, Men with PMS".
​
It's an exciting thrill ride from start to finish and will set you up for an unexpected ending.
