Ghost Poacher

Dr. Seamus McEvoy, a world-renowned marine biologist, is hired by a television network to embark on a groundbreaking expedition across the Atlantic Ocean. Aboard the Pequod with a hand-picked crew, he sets out to tag Great White sharks with high-power submersible cameras that will broadcast their lives to the world in real time.

McEvoy hopes the project will raise awareness of the ocean’s fragile ecosystem and highlight the crucial role sharks play as balance keepers of the deep. However, as the mission progresses, he begins to sense an ominous presence. Someone he was certain had died appears to be lurking in the shadows, intent on destroying everything he has worked for by killing the sharks before he can reach them.

At the same time, the return of the only woman they both loved and once fought over threatens to push McEvoy to his breaking point. Caught between his passion for science, unresolved emotions, and a growing sense of danger, he must uncover the truth before his mission and the sharks are lost forever.

Nighted

The light fades away,

The darkness creeps in.

The sins begin to emerge,

Immersing and drowning,

Slowly standing,

Waiting for divine light.

But nothing comes,

Except creatures of the night,

Dark and deep,

Falling into an endless stream,

Never to come back out.

Because when light leaves, darkness prevails.

Self Righteous

Thoughts Expressed Through the Written Word

This literary work is the product of my personal activity in the effort of lifelong self-expression. Self-expression can be accomplished through a number of manners, including all forms of art, music and performance. My form of expression is through the written word. As I experience the varied performance arts of others, I appreciate the message and communication of the artist and ultimately experience self-growth.  Some individuals are driven to self-identify and as Dale Carnegie stated, “Self-expression is the dominant necessity of human nature.” I started writing when I was twelve years old.

This work expresses the intellectual, emotional, and personal growth I have experienced over a period of fifty-five years. As stated by Oprah Winfrey, “If we’re really committed to growth, we never stop discovering new dimensions of self and self-expression”. My two previous literary works, Grinnin’ Like a Jenny Eatin’ Saw Briars and Let Me Tell You a Story, published by Austin Macauley involve the communication of events and experiences in my life. As stated by Pearl S. Buck, “Self-expression must pass into communication for its fulfilment”. For this reason, I have chosen to fulfil my literary work through the writing and publication of this book.
