About this title

Synopsis:

Attorney Andrew Jordan spurns his successful career with a respected New Orleans law firm to embark on an adventure with a clairvoyant homeless man camped out in front of Andrew's office building

From the Author:

Metaphysical Murder Mystery set in New Orleans
New Orleans -- a city where unbelievable events take place on a daily basis; the only city where Andrew Jordan's story could actually come true. Andy is a nice, trusting sort of guy who just so happens to be an attorney. Having recently graduated from law school, he has cast aside the laid back, easy-going lifestyle of his "Cajun Country" upbringing for the excitement and adventure of the city. Well on his way to success, Andy has landed in the fast lane, having associated with one of the most respected firms in New Orleans. He seemingly has it all: the job, the girl . . . but something is missing. Andy is content, which is the one thing that his restless heart will not stand for. With a little help from his friends, he is about to embark on an adventure that will shock even the city where the uncommon is commonplace. With the appearance of the webbed-footed Christian Waterman, the oft-clairvoyant, homeless man who has taken up residence in front of his office building, Andy's life is changed forever. Filthy, noxious, brilliant, and possibly phychic, the amazing and captivating Waterman is like no one Andy has ever met. Slowly he gains Andy's confidence, somehow accurately predicting future events and guiding him toward his own true destiny. Waterman is so incredible that Andy ultimately arrives at the point where he is prepared to believe the unbelievable -- that somehow, this homeless man is actually the heir to the throne of Atlantis. You might just believe it too! Larger than life, yet true to life, filled with colorful characters, a fistful of twists, a double homicide, and with a little Louisiana "gris-gris" thrown in, SWIMMING TO ATLANTIS is part mystery, part adventure, and part love story - with a shocking ending that will make it impossible to forget, long after you have turned the last page.
