Rocky Bay: An Inside Alaska Novel

Fighting to save his boat, his life, and his commercial fishing livelihood makes this season Mack's most challenging in over twenty years of catching wild Alaskan salmon, and being the master of his fate.

Rocky Bay is first in the Thunder Bay Seiner Series, a contemporary saga exploring the intertwined lives and loves of a commercial fishing family working the rough waters of untamed, wild Alaska.

Alaskan waters had never thrown Mack a wave like the one that hit his seiner just outside of Valdez. But surviving the rogue wave was nothing compared to what his new back-stabbing crewman was plotting. Struggling to overcome unexpected regulations his gut twisted even more seeing his ex-wife again.

Hoping for a summer of adventure earning one of those big paychecks she'd heard about, Ginny took the deckhand job with Mack. But she never expected to fear for her life or have her hard work taken from her by a fish-farming strategy gone wrong.

Politics, greed, and man's interference threaten the goals of both when their fishing season is cut short-but Mother Nature proves to everyone that no one controls the fish, or the fates of fishermen, except her.

In this hero's journey, one man with years of experience struggles to prevail over incomplete science turned to greed. Joined by a young woman starting over in the land she's dreamed of, both end up fighting for the lives, and their livelihood in magnificent, wild Alaska. Strong language, Alaskan adventure, environmentalism, slow burn.
