Water Crisis: Day Zero is out!

By

Water Crisis: Day Zero is officially available in both print and as an e-book. If you pre-ordered it, it should have already been delivered to your e-reader device. If you didn’t, you can download it now and begin reading immediately.

I’m proud of this story and I hope you will be impressed, too. Several of my advance readers/reviewers have called it “the best Mike Scott story, yet.”

The Story

Dwindling freshwater resources around the world are causing unrest, riots and civil war. When photojournalist Mike Scott uncovers a Russian oligarch’s plans to throw the United States in turmoil by poisoning the groundwater, he is in for the fight of his life to stop it. It’s a race against time as Mike fights computer hackers, teams of assassins and robot drones to protect South Florida and the United States from its own Day Zero.

Locations

Water Crisis: Day Zero takes place all over the world, from Washington D.C. to Moscow to Switzerland and then off to The Bahamas and Miami, with a couple short stops in between.

Prequel

This story follows up on a story line from Turks and Chaos: Hostile Waters. If you haven’t read it already (and why not?) it has enough detail that you won’t feel lost.

You might want to read it anyway, though, just to get the full effect. Through August 6, the e-book version of Turks and Chaos: Hostile Waters is on sale for just $0.99! (That’s a $2 savings.)

Photos

A final challenge: take a picture of yourself reading one of my books. If you prefer ebooks, turn your reader around so we can see the cover. Send it to me and I’ll share it on social media or tag me in your own post and I will reshare!

Turks and Chaos: Hostile Waters audiobook now available

By

Turks and Chaos: Hostile Waters, the ninth thriller in the Mike Scott series, is now available as an audiobook on Audible, Amazon and ITunes.

The story

Armed gunmen board a liveaboard dive boat near Turks and Caicos in this sea story/action thriller. News photographer Mike Scott is on a dive vacation and gets taken hostage when the theft doesn’t go as planned. When the identity of the head pirate is exposed, he declares that all the passengers will die when they reach their destination. It’s up to Mike, the passengers and crew to overcome the pirates and save their own lives. It doesn’t help matters that there is a mole on board feeding the pirates information and they are heading right into a storm. Now they must rebel against the pirates and take the boat back before time runs out…

Turks and Chaos: Hostile Waters is set on a liveaboard trip in the Turks and Caicos. The real trip was hosted by ScubaRadioTM and the story features several show cast members. Greg Holt, Pup Morse and several others lent their voices to the narration as well, so you’ll be able to hear the real characters voice their parts. CJ Goodearl, “the voice of Mike Scott”, served as the narrator.

If you’ve never tried an audiobook but think you might want to give it a shot, this link will let you start a 30 day Audible free trial and you get Turks and Chaos.

Douglas’ Mike Scott series of thriller stories features diving, beautiful locations and the environment.

“I grew up watching Jacques Cousteau on television. When I created Mike Scott, I wanted to inspire people to love the ocean and go diving, just like Cousteau did for me,” Douglas said.

Casting Mike Scott?

By

The 9th Mike Scott adventure.

Eric recently joined the crew from the syndicated talk radio show ScubaRadioTM to discuss who would play Mike Scott in a movie based on Eric’s novels. A number of actors’ names were suggested, but two of the top choices were Alex O’Laughlin and Scott Eastwood.

Everyone agreed on the first choice for the actor to play the role of Mike’s fiancee Dr. Francesca (Frankie) DeMarco: Gal Gadot.

Listen to the discussion here (it’s been edited to keep the discussion on task. Listen to the entire episode on Hour 1).

If you have any other suggestions for actors to play the role of Mike Scott, or Frankie, let us know!

You can also listen to an announcement about the new audiobook for Turks and Chaos:

Turks and Chaos: Hostile Waters coming as an audiobook!

By

Update: Should be available in mid-May, according to the narrator. Listen here from ScubaRadio, May 5 2018:

 

This weekend on ScubaRadio I announced that Turks and Chaos: Hostile Waters is now in production as an audiobook!

CJ Goodearl is the voice-over artist who has voiced my previous three audiobooks (Oil and Water, Return to Cayman: Paradise Held Hostage and Lyin’ Fish). He does a fantastic job making these stories come alive. If you haven’t had a chance to listen to one of these stories, check them out.

Turks and Chaos: Hostile Waters came out at the end of 2017 and is set entirely on an Explorer Ventures liveaboard dive boat in Turks and Caicos. The story includes several cast members from ScubaRadio as well and this audiobook will include the real voices of some of the people who were on board the trip. We did the same thing with Lyin’ Fish.

The audiobook version of Turks and Chaos: Hostile Waters will be available in April. If you haven’t listened to the first three stories CJ produced, you are missing out. Get started listening to them now and enjoy an island adventure while you are in your car or at the gym.

Shout out

I’d like to say a quick shout out to Explorer Ventures for allowing me to set my story on board one of their boats. I think it makes the story that much more real to have a tangible location. I’ve cruised with Explorer Ventures. If you are looking to get to sea for a week and have a blast diving, I highly recommend them.
