The Long Short

The plane from Paris slammed into the Atlantic and broke apart. Bill and Martin joined Claire in the tail section where the last raft was anchored to the door with a tether. Claire lugged her Gucci bags into the raft and Martin had his roll-aboard clutched tightly in his arms.

Bill fought to get the tether untied from the door, but the base of the door was under water. He had to go into the dark depths while thunder and lightning roared overhead. He pulled at the tether and got it untied; then, the raft shot up and slammed his head into the metal frame of the door. He ran his fingers along the gash to his scalp, shook his head and then looked at his blood covered fingers.

Adrift, Bill and Claire fought over why Martin was no longer with them. Bill told Claire that it was just the two of them now and
Claire asked if that was a threat to which Bill happily replied, "yes".

They drifted onto an island and ditched the raft on the beachhead. Claire’s mind was on two things, rescue and to do anything to get away from Bill, whereas Bill’s head injury set his mind adrift on a sea of mystery about pirates and treasure. He looked at Claire and felt anger surge up his throat like lava rising to the top of a volcano where it would spew destruction.

Bill and Claire had two different goals; one of them will get their way at the expense of the other.

About the Author

For 2025!

I've got to new books out for late winter 2025:

Trailer Brake is about two different people in two different towns, Doris and Gerald pack up and head out in search of healing. Will their chance encounter help or make things worse for them?

Rodeo Clown: Emmett is a bull rider, drink until you drop, cowboy whose only tempered by his sister, Michelle, until William buys the land next to their land. To save himself and Emmett, William has to open up to his dark past and why he left New York City.

Satchel of Secrets is about an Army Veteran lost in a job at a c-store, but an angel offers him a choice to do something for God.

It's Such a Small World and Then, It's Not (In France, two men are brought together by Mona Lisa, a mallard duck)

Treaty of Versailles, The Power of Love, freshened up for 2025 with edits and new details!

Skipper Pete Books and Skipper Pete Travel on YouTube for book readings, comedy shows by me, and travel.

Every child starts off as a story teller. My family lived in west Ft. Lauderdale, FL out near the everglades. I was a fort builder, horse rider, hiker, adventurer, Disney park nut, party-goer, bad at math in school kid, 80's child--David Bowie-Let's Dance, Prince-1999, Billy Idol-Rebel Yell, Neil Diamond-America, all the movies that made us human--Sixteen Candles, Uncle Buck (GIANT PANCAKES), Duckie from Pretty in Pink, The Breakfast Club geek, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Weird Science (mall scene), Stand by Me - Gordie Lachance (You have to ask?), Foot Loose (Yeah!), The Goonies (LOVE adventurers), and a closet case hanging with my gal pal at Backstreets and at Cathode Rays on the "other side of the tracks! in FTL"

After that, I followed my dad's footsteps and joined the Air Force. I did basic training in Texas and then traveled to California to Asia to South America to Europe, an island in the Pacific, and an island in the Mediterranean.

I've been fortunate to travel throughout Europe in the last five years. My friend in Poland does not get Polish jokes! My other friend lives in Colmar, France where the Alsatian wines are brewed.

Life has a swath of stories to tell! I love romance stories where, against the odds like the angry aunt who thinks your boyfriend soon to be husband should be thrown to the curb or the Roman soldier who battles barbarians for the love of his witch, the protagonist overcomes! Some stories don't always end with a happy ending, like China Town, but life is that way.

Reviews are an author's resume, please help by leaving reviews for any book you read, thank you and best to you this coming year,

Yours truly,

Michael
