A Silent Tide

Beginning with the brutal 1927 ambush of Chesapeake Bay rumrunners at a fog shrouded cove on Maryland's eastern shore and culminating with a final showdown eighty years later when truth meets justice at Harpers Creek Marina in Mathews, Virginia, "A Silent Tide" brings to life the 2007 story of a bay side community racially rocked by the murder of favorite son, all-state athlete Jimmy Jarvis, and the trial of Jamal Billups, the African American man charged with the crime. One-half Michener’s “Chesapeake” and one-half “To Kill a Mockingbird”, "A Silent Tide" follows the path of attorney David Forbes who, with his wife and two children, moves to this small southern community to escape his hectic world as a Federal Prosecutor in Washington D.C. What Forbes wanted was the quiet world of a country lawyer and to raise his family in the land of steamed blue crab, salt water marsh, nesting ospreys and the great tranquility of the Chesapeake Bay. What he got was an idyllic life sent into a tailspin when he gets appointed to represent Billups and commits the unforgivable sin of believing his client is an innocent man. From the decks of deadrise fishing boats and the boardrooms of Washington law firms, to the drug warehouses of East Baltimore and a Los Zeta heroin distribution center in Sinaloa, Mexico, "A Silent Tide" propels the reader on a page turning ride as Forbes weaves his way through a world of drug smuggling, corruption and murder, dangerously searching for the truth until he is faced with either pleading an innocent man guilty or having his own family killed if he continues his pursuit of the true murderer of Jimmy Jarvis. Undaunted in his task, and befriended by the irascible 89 year old waterman, Walter Taylor, Forbes perseveres until attorney and killer come face to face in an unforgettable pre-dawn dual on a storm tossed sea.

Mister Right?

There are always two types of boys out there: There is Wesley's: Wesley's smart, he's nice, he isn't in any type of trouble; he's the definition of perfect. He's kind, he has nice manner, he's inclined towards his studies; most likely to be the valedictorian of his class . He's president of the student council and is in almost every club that there is. He has a good sense of humor and he has that boyish charm that seems to make every one just want to pinch his cheeks. He's the type of guy you'd bring home to meet your mom; he's almost too good to be true. Then there is Aiden's: Aiden smokes, he drinks, and he has a bike. He always looks sharp; always on top of his game . He's highly intelligent, but school doesn't seem to be high on the priority list. He has attitude problems to say the least and he's hot as hell. He smells of sin mixed with danger and intrigue. He has one too many exes and an enormous mass of loyal fan-girls and guys that wish they could be him. He's a heart breaker if you hadn't figured it out yet and he's doesn't chase, never. He's the type to leave a girl and that same day be spotted with another. Despite all these qualities everyone seems to love him, Why wouldn't they? He's the richest guy at school, he has the baddest reputation, he's king of it all. Anything in the world just at his beck and call, right at the palm of his hand. Who do you fall for? The hot bad boy or the nerd, the jock or the chess player, the billionaire or the fairly rich, the list of differences between those two goes on and on. Who's Mr. Right? That's what Addison wants to know... The answer to that might shock you...
