River Rocks: A West Virginia Adventure Novel
Summary
Set in rural Appalachia, River Rocks is a riveting coming-of-age tale of two boys, their friends, and a 100-year-old local legend of Confederate gold buried somewhere in the hills that surround their home. The gold was the result of an unsolved 1903 train robbery mystery, which liberated the US government of their prized "Southern Jewel". The old legend takes on a new life as Josh Baker and Eddie Debord discover the illusive clue that begins to lead them on the adventure of a lifetime! In their quest, the boys find themselves drifting downriver on a homemade raft, biking down old railroad beds, hiking hills, exploring hidden and forbidden hollows, and attempting to locate key old-timers who can help them put this puzzle together. Add to the mix a fog shrouded river island, a hermit of a mountain man, a knowledgeable but mysterious retired investigative reporter.... It becomes clear there is no honor among thieves! Suspense prevails throughout the story as they move closer and closer to their target, and in the end, it could cost them much more than just a couple weeks of their summer vacation. Remember.... Be careful wishing for big adventures.... One may find you!

What Lies in the Sea
Summary
The year was 1715. A Treasure Fleet comprised of 11 Spanish ships and one French vessel was blown onto the reefs off of the east-central coast of Florida by a massive hurricane. Eleven of the 12 vessels were dismasted, broken like kindling, and sent to the seafloor in less than 20 feet of water. Fast-forward to 1973; Captain Henderson and his mate, Butch Dawson, while on a dreadful nighttime run to the reef, inadvertently locate some well-preserved ribs of a 16th-century vessel off the coast of Cape Canaveral. Between those heavy wooden beams lay a king's fortune. The trouble for Henderson and Dawson began immediately and the treasure recovery had to wait - for 45 more years. Leap ahead to current day; Josh Baker, Giselle O’Connor, and Eddie Debord are rolling south in Eddie's fully restored VW Bus. After repairing a small issue with an accelerator cable, they met a young man with a story - a story from 1973. A tale of treasure made credible by his possession of a single gold Spanish Escudo left for him by his grandfather. The action begins and never stops in this fast-paced land and sea treasure-hunt adventure. The friends are relentlessly pursued by a couple of blundering criminals as well as the casino-controlling Florida Mafia, which wants a piece of their action as well. Josh, Eddie, and their new friends can seemingly never catch a break as they try to help locate and recover the lost cargo they have signed rights to excavate…but as always, it seems others don’t play by the rules! “Once again, be careful wishing for big adventures.... One may find you!”
