DRAKE'S COFFIN
Now at amazon.com
"There are some things in a man’s life that change him forever.
For some it’s combat.
For others it is the death of a loved one, severe illness, or the birth of a child.
For Zach and his old friends, it had been the bloody events on a moonlit night on the Camino Real in the jungle of Panama.
And what had begun that night had yet to end."

Hi Readers:
When I was a kid I loved reading adventure tales like Tarzan, The Three Musketeers, Treasure Island, Typee, and similar works.
As an adult, I enjoy modern adventure writers with a foothold in history such as George MacDonald Fraser, Cecilia Holland, Patrick O'Brian and Bernard Cornwell, to name a few.
I avidly read mysteries, detective stories and books with memorable, unusual characters and quirky plots and have greatly enjoyed the fiction of Robert B. Parker, Elmore Leonard and Carl Hiaasen.
As for serious literary fiction, I can't even begin to mention the authors that I've read and who have influenced my writing. There are simply too many!
Of course, these lists are not exhaustive and I can't possibly pretend to be in such august ranks. I only mention these books and authors so you can get a taste of where I come from and where I am going with my writing.
Creating DRAKE'S COFFIN was the most fulfilling endeavor of my life. I intend to write many more books featuring Zach Colt and his friends. In short, I am hooked, and I hope that you are as well.
Please join me on this wonderful adventure!
Mike
