Jerry Reid’s passion is exploring inland waterways, bays and estuaries in his 32-foot shallow-draft sloop, observing wildlife in quiet anchorages while eating good food, drinking box wine, and reading good books with his first mate Joni. He sails out of Bellingham, Washington.
Jerry’s comments: Thank you for looking at this book. The characters in my stories are largely drawn from my experiences, ranging from digging ditches in Texas, a hitch in the Marine Corps, flying charter in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest, building a 40-foot sailboat in my backyard, to sailing on a 10-year circumnavigation and visiting 40 countries. The characters also come from friends, relatives and acquaintances — so look for yourself, you may be in this book.
The appeal to me of writing adventure stories is the opportunity to join with these characters, some far away or no longer with us — to enjoy their company once more in my memories, and see what they do this time. Stay safe in these times, and enjoy life. - Jerry
From a young age, Trosclair dreamed of having a plantation-style house on the high ground west of Iberia, where he could sight his rifle on the fence line, sit on the porch with the love of his life, and listen to the mockingbirds. When the war came, his skills from the oil fields, shrimp boats, moonshine stills and poaching served him well. Trosclair found himself in the United States Marine Corps, leading a Force Recon team in Vietnam.
The loss of two team members leads Trosclair to revenge, where he nearly loses his life, but instead finds love and riches. Returning home, he finds his land in Louisiana and shares his wealth with the friends from the battlefields. He has Mae Lee, the light of his life and kindred spirit, and the future looks bright.
On the eve of their wedding day, while fishing for shrimp for the reception, a breaking wave over the transom caused the boat to broach. Trosclair regained consciousness to find Mae Lee missing. She was gone. Trosclair survived but was devastated by the loss, and disappears.
As months go by, strange incidents occur which cause friends and family to think Mae Lee may be alive, and has been taken for a reason. Trosclair must be found.
The search for Trosclair and Mae Lee is on, from faraway Alaska, to the San Juan Islands of the Pacific Northwest, to Panama. Trosclair and his friends take on old enemies, forge new alliances, and go farther than they thought possible.
