Countdown - (Now Available on Amazon!)

 Writing a novel is something I thought about doing for many years but never followed through because of my lack of writing skills to pull it off. Last year (2024) I revisited that idea and a storyline I had played around with, to finally complete that first attempt at creating a full blown novel. It's title, Running The Edge, and it reflected the premise of a story based on the operations of an elite U.S. Coast Guard Lifeboat Search and Rescue unit...something in which I have some personal experience. 

I enjoyed creating that book so much, in more recent times I decided to write a sequel to it called 'Countdown'. It is a continuation of the same premise of the first book using the same characters and setting. Countdown is a more involved story with twists and turns where the main characters are thrown into dangerous situations made more demanding and serious by a time limit factor. It explores the personal relationships between the characters and how they overcome not only their personal haunting demons, but external events that threatens to destroy everything and everyone they love. It is a story about good vs evil and one that will send the reader to the edge of their seat.

A third book in the series may be in the works in the near future, but for now, I'll just leave you with enjoying this newest of novels called Countdown...available May 26, 2025 on Amazon in paperback and ebook formats.
