Turks and Chaos for the new year!

December 27, 2017 By Eric Douglas

Happy New Year my friends!

As we bring 2017 to a close, all I can say is “whew. I’m glad that’s over.”

Just kidding. This year has come with some challenges, but every year is what you make of it and this was a productive one. I released four books this year.

The year began with Heart Survivor: Recovery After Heart Surgery. This book continues to be popular as, unfortunately, new people are facing this diagnosis every day.

In the summer, The 3rd Key: Sharks in the Water took everyone on a trip to the Florida Keys. This story packed a lot of action and excitement into just a couple days.

In November, the biography Dive-abled: The Leo Morales Story told the inspiring story of a young man who used the power of the ocean to overcome the loss of a leg to cancer, and to set some diving records along the way.

And for Christmas, the latest Mike Scott thriller novella hit the streets: Turks and Chaos: Hostile Waters. This is the ninth installment in the Mike Scott series. Set entirely on a liveaboard dive boat, it’s a great way to warm up the winter months!

Thank you for coming along for the ride and I hope you got a chance to escape from your day-to-day with Mike Scott. Remember, reviews are the life-blood of an author. If you’ve read any of my books, please leave a review and let others know what you thought.

I am looking forward to an exciting 2018.

Happy New Year!

Eric

Sunlight Prints

Cyanotype printing, also known as Sunlight Prints, is an antique photo printing technique, first used around 1842. Cyanotypes are made by mixing two chemicals (ammonium iron citrate and potassium ferricyanide) and treating paper, cloth or canvas, making it sensitive to ultraviolet light. The sun turns the chemical blue while whatever is shaded stays white. One of the earliest uses for cyanotype was for naturalists to capture images of plants. The same process is used to create “blue prints” of … Read more
