“As our physical world is destroyed, our
spiritual one is becoming more and more essential. People of all faiths, even
atheists, have to have something to believe in. Indigenous ones are
particularly vulnerable to this massive shift in our world’s culture:
overpopulation, oligarchies, climate change…” (Excerpted from Dark Sea, Shadowwater II; All Rights Reserved)
If you react strongly to the above statement, you will connect with my latest book, Dark Sea (Shadowwater II). My stories include rapid changes to Cape Cod's environment, the indigenous population and corporate greed. Characters grapple with their personal faith and the dark and light of nature.
Characters include often strong, independent men and women, based in reality, but transported, changed by preternatural or outside forces. Is the villain a hero to you or the hero a villain? Contradiction, layers, delving deeper along with action that keep moving, like scenes from a motion picture.
"In many ways the entire novel feels like reading
a movie script and except for the places where the author shows off her prose
skills. . .the way the scenes are contrived, planned and
executed, and the way each scene cuts away smoothly to draft into a new one, all
reminds you of a cinematic experience." (Kevin Peter, www.moterwriter.com/Midwest Book Review).
A recurring theme is how Cape Cod has ever-increasing man-made threats to its environment and people. Whether you're an artist, biologist, entrepreneur, teacher or writer you will recognize familiar challenges stemming from unexpected events.
You will be happily surprised by this unique adventure.
