International evil descends upon the shores of the Chesapeake Bay when ISIS terrorists seize control of tranquil Mathews County, threatening to kill students held hostage at the local high school unless former President George Bush agrees to come to Mathews and stand trial for war crimes committed in the 2003 Iraqi invasion. Initiated by a 2016 call to arms by the ISIS Caliph Mohammad Abu al-Baghdadi to export their terror to America, an ISIS plan to invade rural Virginia unfolds three years later with the massacre of local law enforcement responding to a fake 911 emergency call of a double homicide in the New Point community of Sandbank.

"A masterful suspense thriller", "Two thumbs up!"
A riveting tale of murder, smuggling and corruption on the Chesapeake Bay.
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 small southern town 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.

My follow-up novella to “A Silent Tide”, "Tiffany's Tale" was penned to highlight the role of Tiffany Thompkins, the girl from West Marine, who is the heroine in “Tide” and to provide an expanded story beyond the ending in the first book. Soon, I plan to incorporate both works into a deluxe, special edition of “A Silent Tide.” Join her as she takes the reader along on the “unfinished business” of ending the sexual savagery of Tommy, step-father to her beloved cousin, Cassie. A spring board work, “Tiffany’s Tale” serves to highlight the remarkable tenacity and strong feminine presence of Tiffany Thompkins who will play a major role in the sequels to “A Silent Tide” including the recently published and highly acclaimed, “A Silent Siege”.
