I never thought about it at the time, but my first attempt at a novel actually fit the bill of a SOL. I promoted it as a sci-fi fantasy adventure (I know, but I told you it was my first novel). It revolved around 4 teenagers and the summers they spent playing survival games on a New Zealand island that later turned out to have mermaids, as well as a murder plot underway. It was really convoluted, but I liked describing the island and the dynamics between the teens, including a light budding romance. Wow! That was a walk down memory lane. Thanks :-)
