As a long-time storyteller, I recently turned my attention from thrillers to the Clive Cussler type of adventure story, determined to combine the discovery and history of Clive's books with the entertaining action of the movies. I know Panama pretty well and enjoy Bocas del Toro a lot. I also love boating, and have sailed the Intracoastal Waterway from the Chesapeake to the Florida Keys. So I knew it would be fun to start Tortuga Gold with the Panamanian National Police chasing Taz Keaton and the Mayday Salvage and Rescue team up a muddy jungle river. From there it cruises to Key West, where I've thrown back far too many shots and free-dove for dozens of lobsters, and then onto Beaufort, NC, the place Blackbeard the Pirate called home and I very nearly did as well (and still might).
