Still Waters

The Titanic Like You've Never Seen It Before...

Everyone with a pulse is more than familiar with the story of the Titanic: the extravagant - yet ill-fated - ocean liner that met its fate in the icy deep of the North Atlantic Sea in April of 1912. What some may not realize, though, is that the ship didn't sink because of striking a random iceberg - but rather as a result of the curse of a 3,000 year-old Egyptian mummy that had been smuggled aboard...

Such is the premise put forth in the pages of Still Waters, the exciting suspense thriller by Donald Allen Kirch. Seamlessly blending real historical facts with imaginative fiction, Kirch's tale is an impressive retelling of an all-too-familiar story with a supernatural twist one can't help but enjoy. As the reader will eventually discover, the true genius of Still Waters lies not in recreating what has become a cultural folk tale - but instead simply inviting the reader to look at it from a different perspective, one that has heretofore remained in the realm of imagination, but nonetheless begs the question, "Why not?"

With unforgettable characters and action that unfolds at just the right pace, Still Waters is an enjoyable literary treat that is sure to create for Kirch an ever-expanding - and much-deserved - fan base. Look for more impressive works from this innovative, unsung author on the rise.
