Oil and Water is now available in audiobook format through Audible, Amazon and iTunes.

The Story

Mike Scott is nearly killed when a private jet crashes into the ocean near him in the waters off Curacao. The cause of the crash is mysterious, but when men try to kidnap the plane’s pilot, who Mike helped save, he realizes there is something even bigger going on.

Evidence on the downed plane points to terrorism, but Mike suspects an ulterior motive. To unravel the mystery, he has to stay alive and stop the kidnappers at the same time.

The exciting Mike Scott novella Oil and Water is now available in softcover, Kindle ebook and audiobook. You can enjoy a fast-paced thriller wherever you go.

There is a 3:28 minute audio sample on all three of the audiobook retail pages if you want to get a taste for the story.
