Overview

Emmett McDonald never planned to start a war. He just wanted a beer on a Sunday in Port Clinton, Pennsylvania. Janice Wilson never planned a five-million-step quest through the wilderness-the Appalachian Trail. But it's not Mount Katahdin she's aiming for. It's Port Clinton, Pennsylvania, an insignificant town of under three hundred people. Brace yourself-Emmett McDonald, a battle-hardened veteran of three wars, is now in a struggle a lot bigger than a closed bar on a Sunday. It's about who makes the rules - and who has the grit to stand up to them. Can an irascible Irishman with street smarts, scars, and an inconvenient conscience take on the people who run everything? And what happens when Janice finally reaches Port Clinton? Do you believe street smarts can win over organized power? Does the quest of Don Quixote of La Mancha inspire you? Am I a good enough writer to pull it off? Clicking the sample bar suffices. The decision is yours.

Author Information

Biography Our family has deep bonds with the sea. Henry Every (born in the Devonshire area of England around 1659) became Captain of the Fancy in 1694. Later, our family had ties to the Cunard Line and came to America from the Dutch West Indies. I grew up in Boston and attended Boston Latin High School. It was there I learned how to write-not the craft, but the lessons from which I drew that craft. Graduating from Tufts University, I reported to Attack Squadron 147 as ordnance officer, making combat deployments to Vietnam aboard the USS America and USS Constellation in 1970, 1971, and 1972. It was during this time I became a Christian. I married my wife, Patricia, in 1974, and we have two sons, both of whom have a deep-rooted affiliation with the sea. In many ways, I consider myself privileged. As a young boy, I saw the end of the steam era, met men who could do things in the marine world with talent rather than equipment, and later, had the privilege of working with my uncle, the most well-versed man in the marine field I've had the privilege of meeting-and more importantly, a man who lived in the world the way God wanted it to be, not the way it was. It continually surprises me that I enjoy writing as much as I do. While I have always loved to read, I never envisioned myself as an author or anticipated the wild delight I take from writing. I can only hope you derive as much enjoyment from reading my work as I have in writing it. Thank you.
