THE BOOKS
They resolve to find a vast treasure, hidden for five hundred years, while also searching for themselves. Can their advanced technical and survival skills enable them to succeed where others have failed?
Most of his life, Billy tried hard to present a laid-back, easygoing personality, but in truth, he was a highly skilled technology executive and treasure hunter, and he knew that he had also committed to becoming a CIA operative.
So to Billy’s disappointment, there would be limited time to relax in the next few weeks, and he was worried about what to do with the dogs while he was in training. Maybe Sheila would live in the house while he was gone and take care of Butch and Baker.
In addition to everything else, Billy had been booked as a guest speaker at an international treasure hunting convention on Miami Beach over the weekend. It was a great opportunity for him to maintain his fame and to continue to receive over $2 million in annual payments from his sponsors.
Even if he did not find treasure for a while, his endorsements would pay for his lifestyle if he kept his reputation and treasure hunting activities in the media. He already had over four million followers on social media thanks to a topflight public relations firm that represented him. He planned to announce his next treasure hunting location at this convention and create a new buzz in the treasure hunting world.
Three separate stories explore deceit, revenge, relationships, and retribution.
In the “Five Hundred Acre Ranch,” a lonely man buys a ranch in Central Florida to share with a beautiful young woman, and they encounter love, hate, and revenge.
“A Family Tale” follows the divergence of two Cuban brothers born in the mid-1800s. One immigrates to Key West, Florida, and the other to Manaus, Brazil. More than a century later, their descendants confront drugs, deceit, revenge, and murder.
“We Can Do It” finds a family unemployed due to COVID-19. Their tranquil camping trip meets with unexpected challenges, punishments, and retribution.
