Story Behind The Book
My father was a journalist and journalism educator who often invited colleagues and students out to the house for hamburgers and hot dogs and a lot of good stories about the old days or newspapers. I worked as a Navy journalist and taught journalism myself for a few years. The book is a result of combining my dark-side sense of humor with the look and feel of those old stories I heard both as a kid and as a teacher into a very improbable murder investigation. This book isn't based on a true story. It's based on a pack of lies, so what more could you possibly ask for if you need something to read while you're sleeping it off in the drunk tank at your local police station. You'll find a lot to laugh at in the book, but for Pete's sake, don't let the police see it.

<p>"Unless you are secluded in a vault while reading, the whole neighborhood will delight in hearing your hilarious laughter." -- <a href="http://www.livingjackson.com/">Living Jackson Magazine</a><br /><br /> "Armed with a sharp wit and a (secretly) soft heart, Jock sets out to investigate the theft of the mayor's missing horse, Sea of Fire. For readers, arriving at the solution to the crime is secondary to simply enjoying as the colorful (and aptly named) characters become embroiled in a multitude of small-town hi-jinks. From the opening paragraph, Jock finds himself sucked into a world of deception, murder, and illicit trysts. Despite being set in modern times (as evidenced by the existence of Krispy Kremes), Sea of Fire has a delightfully old-time noir feel, kicked up a notch by fast-paced dialog and laugh out loud puns." -- <a href="http://www.unplugyourhead.com/nowisthetime/index.html">Nancy Whitney-Reiter</a>, author "Now is the Time to Do What You Love"</p>
