I am your ambassador to the outdoors, the Sportsman's consigliere representing our interests to the masses of uninformed and confused. A free-range outdoor nomad, I roam from the mountains to the sea, by whatever means necessary in search of adventure. I speak my mind, stand my ground, and stick up for the little guy. I wear flip-flops and a cowboy hat and run a backwater ghost named the Honey Badger. I am the Saltwater Cowboy. These are my stories. Includes previews of two upcoming novels based on the adventures of Capt. Max Dean: Beautiful Day - A fishing guide with a clandestine past is forced to confront a long ago tragedy and stop an escaped death row inmate from exacting revenge on himself and others. Beautiful Day follows Captain Max Dean from his home in Marco Island, Florida, to the swamps of Southern Mississippi in this tale of adventure on and off the high seas. DEAD RIVER - What if the epicenter of the Covid pandemic wasn't Wuhan, China, but Fort Myers, Florida, and the symptoms weren't "flu like" but were neurological? Imagine the carnage should sixty percent of the population be under varying degrees of psychosis. When a virus spawned from the toxic blue-green algae bloom in the form of a neurotoxin, the Upper Caloosahatchee Waterway became a DEAD RIVER.
