Synopsis

Its appetite is ravenous. Its teeth, scalpel-sharp. For the first time, the captive 20-ton Megalodon shark has tasted human blood, and it wants more . . .

On the other side of the world, in the silent depths of the ocean, lies the Mariana Trench, where the Megalodon has spawned since the dawn of time. Paleobiologist Jonas Taylor once dared to enter this perilous cavern. He alone faced a Megalodon shark and cut its heart out. Now, as the body count rises and the horror of a monster's attack grips the California coast, Jonas must begin the hunt again and face his deepest fears--all in order to save his job, his family, and himself.

'Terror and temptation in the deep' Taupo Times

From the Author:

A note from the author...
Hi, U.K. readers: I'm excited to be back with the great people at HEADLINE, publishers of MEG, and now the new sequel, The TRENCH.

The storyline of The TRENCH picks up four years after MEG. The captured female pup (Angel) has grown to a monstrous 72-feet and is threatening to break out of her lagoon. Meanwhile, Jonas Taylor is haunted by nightmares of his encounters with these prehistoric Great White sharks, and soon finds his destiny drawing him back to the depths of the Mariana Trench where he first discovered the creatures. Readers should find the novel to be a page-turner, with plenty of juicy shark scenes and a few extra surprises thrown in.

I'm also really excited about DOMAIN (my third book) which involves the Mayan calendar's 3000 year old prophecy that states humanity will end on Dec. 21, 2012. The plot includes the "true" secrets of the Pyramid of Giza, Stonehenge, Tiahuanaco, and the Kukulcan pyramid. The novel begins 65 million years ago when an asteroid struck the Earth, off what would eventually become the Yucatan coastline, wiping out the dinsosaurs. Only the object wasn't an asteroid...

Wish I could say more, but you'll have to wait.

I love staying in touch with my readers, and I ALWAYS write back. If you'd like to reach me, contact me at MEG82159 on aol. There will soon be a MEG website featuring all sorts of goodies. And if you'd like to see your name and character in a future book, send me a brief description about yourself. (At least 15 readers made it into DOMAIN.

Thanks again, and I promise I'll continue to work hard to earn your support.
