    About this ebook

    Cob Trask started life as harpooner on a whaler out of Nantucket but when his sweetheart is torn from him, a broken hearted Cob enlists in the army as volunteers are called to the flag on the eve of the Civil War. Embroiled in the war at sea he must first do battle aboard the Yankee ironclad Monitor before finding himself incarcerated in a festering Confederate prison camp. Desperate to escape he risks his life in a bloody prison uprising and struggles to reach safety overland by riding swing on a cattle drive to Abilene. Cob falls foul of a murder charge and is soon on the run again hiding out on a great Mississippi riverboat.
    It is on the docks of New Orleans that Cob discovers more problems await him in the shape of Malachi Harp, one of a pair of homicidal river pirates who dares to take hold of the thing that Cob holds most dear. Armed with his harpoon and a small band of followers, Cob begins a rescue mission that will lead him deep into the Savannah swamps to confront the murderous gang of cutthroats.

    It’s not such a big step from pictures to writing.And that’s how it started out for me. I’ve illustrated more Western book covers than I care to mention and been doing it for a long time. No hardship, I hasten to add, I love the genre and have since a kid, although originally I made my name painting the cover art for other people, now at least, I manage to create covers for my own books.A long-term closet writer, only comparatively recently, with a family grown and the availability of self-publishing have I managed to be able to write and get my stories out there.As I did when illustrating, research counts a lot and has inspired many of my Westerns and Thrillers to have a basis in historical fact or at least weave their tale around the seeds of factual content.Having such a visual background, mostly it’s a matter of describing the pictures I see in my head and translating them to the written page. I guess that’s why one of my early four-star reviewers described the book like a ‘Western movie, fast paced and full of action.’I enjoy writing them; I hope folks enjoy reading the results.
