High Water

Escape from the Everglades is the first book in the High Water series and blends contemporary mystery and suspense, dramatic situations, and high adventure that both boys and girls will love. A park ranger's son hates the Everglades, and he thinks he'll just die if he doesn't escape Southern Florida soon ... and he's right. After Parker Buckman is mauled and nearly killed by an alligator, he sees the glades as a place of death. All he wants to do is get out of the area, and he's convinced he won't truly be okay until he does. But he can't leave until he finds a friend who goes missing. Escaping a bad situation isn't a matter of a geographical change. Sometimes the best way to a brighter future is to face the darkness of your past.

Every Hidden Thing is the second book in the High Water series. It blends contemporary mystery and suspense, dramatic situations, and high adventure that 12- to 15-year-old boys and girls will love. Parker Buckman loves his new home in Rockport, Massachusetts. But strange things have been happening ever since Devin Catsakis' funeral. A series of break-ins have left everyone on edge, especially Parker's new friend, Ella Houston. She lives with her grandma, and they depend on rental income from a cottage on their property. Bad online reviews about the "ghost" terrorizing rental homes in Rockport aren't helping bookings. With the bottom dropping out on the rental market, Ella's home is at risk. All Parker wants is to help Ella-which means finding some answers. What Parker really needs? To trust that God, the great revealer of secrets, is just and will take care of this in His perfect timing-even when it seems He's taking way too long.

"It starts today. Your world is about to change." Harley ignores the cryptic warning but soon learns the chilling message is absolutely true. When his motorcycle is stolen, he feels he's lost the one thing that connects him to his dad-and keeps his dad's memory alive. Harley believes he knows exactly who is responsible-and takes dangerously reckless steps to get his bike back. Parker will do almost anything to help his friend-which is exactly what has Jelly and Ella worried. Their efforts to change Harley's self-destructive course simply haven't worked. Now they have to find a way to stop him before he goes off the deep end . . . and takes Parker with him. Sometimes lies and deception are so believable that only God can reveal the truth. And every person has a push-point. Something that-if given enough pressure-has the power to send them someplace they never want to go. Off the deep end. The Deep End is the third book in the High Water series. It blends contemporary mystery and suspense, dramatic situations, and high adventure that 12- to 15-year-old boys and girls will love.

The Second Storm is the fourth book in the High Water series. It blends contemporary mystery and suspense, dramatic situations, and high adventure that readers 12 years old and older will love. A Category 5 hurricane is heading for southern Florida, and Parker Buckman's friend Wilson Stillwaters is caught in its crosshairs. It's going to be bad, and Wilson will need help. But that means going back to the Everglades-a place filled with some bad memories. Angelica will do anything she can to get her friend Parker back home safely. What she doesn't realize is the real threat-the second storm-is threatening to be far more deadly for Parker and his friends than the hurricane. The storm has allowed Clayton Kingman to escape from prison, and he has a big surprise in store for the group, one he intends to deliver personally. An even bigger storm is brewing . . . and there's no way to stop it.

Even in Darkness is the fifth book in the High Water series and blends contemporary mystery and suspense, dramatic situations, and high adventure that both boys and girls aged 12+ love. While diving in Rockport Harbor, Parker Buckman makes a terrifying discovery. Haunting enough to keep him out of the water. His best friend, Harley, has his own dilemma-and needs Parker's help. Meeting Harley halfway won't cut it. Parker will need to be all in-which can only mean trouble. Harley Lotitto is in more danger than anyone realizes. His Uncle Ray has cornered him into secretly finding recordings he'd hidden-before going to prison. Evidence powerful enough to get Ray out of jail-and put a worse man behind bars. If Harley succeeds, Quinn Lochran will get multiple life sentences. Lochran has a dark plan to make sure that evidence never sees the light of day. Ray's 'get-out-of-jail' ticket might just become Harley's death warrant-and Parker's too. Jelly and Ella know the boys are up to something. They want to help-but unless the boys open up-they feel powerless to do a thing. They have a feeling that the boys are going to need all the help they can get... and they're right. These friends have survived deadly situations together before. But this time escape seems more hopeless than ever. What do you do when you're surrounded by darkness... and dawn will never get there in time?
