The problem is, the whole thing is a scam, and when Hannah sets out to uncover whoever’s behind it, she discovers that things are even worse than she thought. The museum scam is a front for a real estate power play, her entire village is in danger of being wiped out—and the forces behind it have no intention of letting anything, or anyone, stand in their way.
"Night Vision"
The Red Citrus Trailer Park is inhabited
mostly by illegal laborers. But the steroid-powered park manager and
his grotesquely muscular girlfriend want to sell the park for some easy
money-and they'll do whatever it takes to drive the residents out. Their problem is a young girl who the laborers believe talks to God. When the girl witnesses the manager dumping a corpse into a lake, he knows that she has to be silence permanently.
The girl's only hope for survival: marine biologist Doc Ford, who must search through an underground nation, trek through wildlife, and defeat an assortment of bad guys...and hope he reaches her in time.
Randy Wayne Wright was a light-tackle fishing guide at Tarpon Bay Marina, Sanibel Island, for 13-years, did more than 3,000 charters and draws heavily on those experiences for his novels about Dr. Marion Ford and friends at Dinkin’s Bay.
About his writing career, Randy -- known as Rando to pals -- says, “When my marina closed in 1987, I wasn’t qualified to do anything, so I wrote "Sanibel Flats."
I had two young sons, a lot of bills, so failure wasn’t an option. It is a rare day when I do not reflect on my good luck to have succeeded in a very tough profession.”
As Doc Ford fans would agree, Rando has done more than simply succeed. Based on his guiding years at Tarpon Bay Marina, Sanibel, he has created characters that have become literary favorites.
Randy has won the Conch Republic Award for literature, along with notables John Cheever, Peter Matthiessen, Jim Harrison and Thomas McGuane. He also has won the John D. MacDonald Award for Literary Excellence. His national PBS documentary "The Gift of the Game," about taking baseball gear to kids in Cuba, won the Woods Hole Film festival Best of Festival Award.
White lives in an old house on an Indian mound, an acre on the bay, traveling and socializing in his 21-Maverick flats boat. He does a national book-signing tour every spring, and can also be found regularly at Doc Ford’s Sanibel Rum Bar and Grille on Sanibel Island and also at the Doc Ford’s bayside Fort Myers Beach location.
"Dark Light"
Imagine hurricane winds over the Sahara Desert, preceded by a cavalry of tornadoes. Imagine dunes flattened, then resculpted. Then imagine all that at the bottom of the sea.
A Category Four hurricane has swept the west coast of Florida, creating havoc, changing lives, and reshaping the ocean bottom. Well-known reefs and wrecks have been covered up-and new ones have emerged.

Intrigued, Ford agrees, and sets in motion a chain of events that will change his life forever. For there are other things in that wreck as well, and other men want those things, men willing to commit terrible acts to get them. And the woman herself-the woman is not what she seems. . . .
Rich with passion and vivid, pungent prose, and some of the best characters found in suspense fiction today, "Dark Light" is a thriller of uncommon intensity.
