The Dolphin Riders Series




Eight years have now passed since former Navy Seal Jake Javolyn met up with Destiny and the pod. Their dream to construct Aquaria, a first of its kind sea colony that produces vast amounts of cheap, environmentally clean energy and protein-rich food staples from the ocean is now nearing completion. They have taken an otherwise barren sector of ocean and turned it into an oasis of life, with the potential of ending the use of carbon-based fuel sources once and for all and reversing the damage such reliance has inflicted on the earth. But a shadowy cabal of ruthless global elitists are out to take control of the prospering colony and will stop at nothing to make that happen, including using the United Nations to end the threat it poses to their insidious financial interests. Allied with a newly evolved species of super-dolphin, Destiny, Jake and the colony must fight back if they are to survive. As in the award winning prequel, The Girl Who Rode Dolphins, the sequel will mesmerize readers with explosive, heart-pounding action that will keep them on the edge of their seats and turning the pages in rapt fascination until the very end. This novel is guaranteed to open the eyes of readers, causing them to re-examine the world around them and ask the question, “Are we being manipulated?”

In Brazil, a team of scientists descend a dark mine stretching three miles beneath the earth’s surface. Their mission? To study a mysterious liquid rumored to possess miraculous capabilities.

Waiting on Delcath

 


Waiting on Delcath 


Does anything really matter when their death on a remote asteroid seems certain?

When three childhood friends Ola, Jennet, and Sikat get posted on an asteroid mining station in deep space, they know it’s going to be difficult. There’s a reason why the corporation is paying them enough to retire in their 20s. However, they don’t expect the trouble to start so soon after their arrival...nor do they expect to face the possibility of slow, agonizing death.

With all hopes of rescue shattered, the three friends are forced to confront their own mortality, morality, each other, and themselves as they try to postpone the inevitable. One amazing discovery will change everything – while turning their moment of glory into an embarrassment that the generations to come will remember.

Inspired by Jean Paul Sartre’s idea that “hell is other people”, Waiting on Delcath explores human complexity, fragility, and strength, what we might discover about ourselves under extreme pressure, and what happens when our most challenging moments are not private...when we’re remembered not for the discovery that changes the history of humankind, but for being at our most vulnerable.

Sensitive topic warnings for profanity, death, implied animal cruelty/death, childhood trauma, suicidal thoughts/attempted suicide, and possible mental health issues.

WITNESS: Of Things Unseen

 


WITNESS: Of Things Unseen


Evil is real. Satan is real. It’s as simple as that. Here is the warning that I never had. Satan isn’t waiting for us at the bottom of a pit. He is right here in the midst of us. His minions are skulking and poking us with temptations, lies, diversion, and trying to pull us into his snares at every turn. They claw at our wounds and exploit our weaknesses. It is up to you whether or not to heed this warning, and I pray that you do.

I will give many circumstances throughout this book that will shine a light on what is deemed as normal and accepted in our society and how it can inflame consequences that most of us are unprepared for, or can dig ourselves out of. I believe that now is the time to speak-up and render a hand to those who are left inside the confusion, and hopefully narrow the obscurity that Satan hides in.

I asked my priest the last time I spoke with him, “. . . what do I do with everything I’ve experienced? Where does it go in my life?” His response was a simple one:
“Write about it – share it with others.”
