The Big Island of Hawaii is the main setting for Storm Force, the second book in the Storm Thriller Series. I’ve made several trips to the Big Island in the last few years: one with family, and the other to paddle in the Queen Liliuokalani outrigger canoe race. The settings in the books are the result of our explorations of the island (Check out the map here). As unique and fascinating as… Read More

The once pristine Everglades are riddled with man-made features. Many were used in my latest book: Wood’s Revenge. Both testing stations and the maze of dredged canals criss-crossing the River of Grass are used for locations and in the development of the premise for the book. Testing stations monitored by the Florida Coastal Everglades LTER (Long term ecological research network) were established by the National Science Foundation in 1980. Their purpose is… Read More

Mac Travis Adventures: Book Seven

I made a sea change in this installment of the Will Service series — or should I say an ocean change. Writing in first person allowed me to get into Will’s head. He is a different kind of guy and the switch to the book narrated through his eyes, I hope, gives a better portrayal of him. The setting also makes a major move from the Atlantic to Pacific Ocean. I draw… Read More
