A Hole in the Water (The DREW NOLAN stories, #1) (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Vacationing with an old High School flame on his charter boat in the Caribbean, Nolan sets his hook into something he wishes he hadn't. The floating bag of stink hauls him into deeper and deeper waters until there's nowhere to go but down. Drew gets dragged from his home port in Key Largo to up the Florida Coast and into a crummy marina, then out to a posh resort on the island of Bimini, then across the Caribbean to the south Texas coast, then to a Colombian resort island where possibly, just possibly, the drug cartel won't notice him. Introducing his girlfriend June, smart, sassy and sexy. There's his Rich-As-Croesus brother-in-law, Watt, and his poor as dirt first mate Wiley. As for people wanting his more than roughed up, there's the dapper lawyer for the drug lords, Lawrence, a mysterious and too all-knowing Ghost who keeps telling him to mind his own business, and more than enough people banging him on the head. There's Cordell Rapp, wannabee fishing king, gotta be smuggler, has to be killer whose partner it was that found himself on Captain Nolan's hook. Oh yeah, let's not forget Charlotte Rapp, the woman with the champagne-colored hair. She's the weasel Rapp's svelte and abandoned wife who joins Captain Nolan for a cruise he won't soon forget.

Autor

My books are my signature. But this is only how I feel. Others often differ in opinion, which is right and good. For them, here then, be some stuff maybe useful in some fashion I can't fathom.

Biographical data

Born: Spring Lake, North Carolina, April, 1953, fourth day, five minutes past midnight (thus late for my parents' anniversary, which sets a standard for all such events from then on.)

Educated: a long while back, when colleges offered to improve human beings attending their classes, not dedicate themselves to the function of making a person employable. Ahh, the good old days.
Undergraduate degree: In English from a State college in Glassboro, NJ, that changed its name to Rowan University when Mr. Rowan gave it a huge wad of cash.

Master degree: In English from Temple University in 1996, which is where I got to learn exactly what I needed to know from David H. Bradley, the author of a fine book, "The Chaneysville Incident" *among others) which I recommend reading. Otherwise, graduate school for writers is a waste of time and money.

Marriage: I married to the finest woman on Earth, by accounts of many others more than myself: Manuela.
I married once before, but for practice. It lasted a mere sixteen months.
Manuela brought with her two wonderful young ladies, Elizabeth (Baby Beth) and Manuela (Meme), who each in turn delivered into my life young ladies of inestimable worth: Sky (b. 2003) Lucy (b. 2007) and Mia (b. 2008.) Though I give to each huge chunks of my heart, doing so has increased that heart's size.

Work History: Let's say I worked, and have enjoyed no occupation more than Educator. My students put their trust in me; I put my faith in them. Pretty much always works out.

What I do for fun: Everything. If it is not fun, I quickly stop doing it. (see Work, above)

Writing Philosophy: Make sense by appealing to the senses.
