Synopsis

Alex, a brazen entrepreneur always chasing the next big score. Ben, a grounded police cadet with steady nerves and sharp instincts. Mitch, a brilliant cyber specialist who sees patterns others miss. Three childhood friends reunite for a long-awaited camping trip in the breathtaking wilderness of Acadia National Park, seeking adventure and a chance to reconnect.

But their scenic escape shatters before it even begins.

When the three friends pull a dead body from the icy Kennebec River near Bath, Maine, they are drawn into a world of danger far beyond anything they could have imagined. The victim was no ordinary man. And what he was carrying was never meant to be found.

Pursued by forces they cannot identify and tracked by means they cannot detect, the friends realize they can trust no one. Not the local police. Not the federal agents. And perhaps not even the eccentric sea captain who ferried them to Mount Desert Island.

With danger following their trail deep into Acadia National Park, the rugged Maine wilderness becomes both their sanctuary and their deadliest trap. From the thundering waves of Ocean Path and the sheer drops of Otter Cliff to a terrifying ambush on a disappearing sandbar, the three men must leverage their unbreakable childhood bond and specialized survival skills to stay alive.

What secrets does the Maine coast hide? And can their friendship survive the deadly forces that now hunt them through the wilderness of Vacationland?

A massive storm is brewing off the Atlantic coast. The enemy is closing in. One wrong step on the slick Maine granite could mean becoming the ocean's next cold case.

Murder in Vacationland is a relentless, fast paced National Park mystery thriller that blends high stakes espionage, breathtaking outdoor adventure, and emotionally driven character suspense. Perfect for fans of Nevada Barr, Vince Flynn, and Daniel Silva.

This is the second book in A National Park Mystery Thriller series. Each book explores a different national park, weaving together the beauty and danger of nature with the complexities of human relationships and the dark secrets that lurk beneath the surface.

An artist on a journey of self-discovery through creativity, exploring the beauty of nature and landscapes with vibrant hues and soulful brushstrokes. Join me in this artistic exploration, where every canvas tells a story and every stroke speaks a truth. My artistic journey is a tapestry woven from threads of passion, authenticity, and a relentless pursuit of creative expression. Growing up in Dubuque, Iowa, amid the bluffs of the Mississippi River, I found solace and inspiration in the natural beauty surrounding me. From a young age, art became my sanctuary, a realm where I could lose myself in the act of creation, honing my skills in various mediums from printmaking to photography. After being awarded an art scholarship at the University of Northern Iowa, I embarked on a formal artistic education. However, my true initiation into the art world came from within, a deep-seated desire to explore the depths of my creativity and spirituality. Following my formal training, I delved into a self-taught journey, seeking guidance from mentors in the areas of drawing, photography, watercolor, ceramic sculpture and an immersion in the field of graphic design for over two decades. With each brushstroke, I strive to capture the essence of my surroundings and share a piece of my soul with the world. As a member of esteemed art associations and a regular presence at markets and fairs, I continue to pursue my artistic vision, hoping to inspire, surprise, and resonate with art lovers everywhere. Join me on this journey of self-discovery and creative exploration-where every canvas tells a story, and every stroke speaks a truth. My recent relocation to Northern New Mexico has reignited my artistic flame, infusing my work with the vibrant hues and dramatic landscapes of the high sierra desert. Inspired by the interplay of light and shadow, I craft landscapes that resonate with the soul, blending abstract and realistic elements to evoke emotion and intrigue.
