Buffalo
Island and its sequel, Glass Wind Chimes, have
been acquired by Deer Hawk Publications! It validates your dreams, gives you
hope, let's you know that perfect person for you really is out there and that
when the will is strong, there is a way.
Based on the life of Robert Cody, this
thought provoking, fictional memoir starts out in the late 1990s with Cody
working for a master ship builder. While testing one of the ships out on the
high seas off the United States Pacific Coast/Vancouver, Canada, he encounters
an unusual cloud mass that the local fishermen explicitly avoid; saying people
have gone in and never come out. When curiosity gets the best of him, Cody
decides to explore and discovers the last known landmass never having been
chartered. Not being in any country’s territory, he now claims the island as
his own.
Shortly after, Cody goes to Ireland to
sign a ship deal for the company he works for and buys an Irish Lottery ticket
‘for the heck-of-it.’ A week later, he finds out he is now the richest man in
the world. Thus, he has the funding to establish and settle his country. Little
does he know, but North Korea has gotten wind of his island and finds it to be
the perfect locale for a base to attack the United States. Cody is the owner
and the law…
Lee has done a remarkable job in
detailing the complexities regarding such an endeavor and so convincingly that
it stirs a great longing to live in the Paradise Islands and cast this harried
existence aside. Having spent over fifty years in
several professions including being a fisherman, boat owner and working in the
shipping industry, his writing is authentic and most believable.
He
is currently working on two more manuscripts, Tar Kyler: Time Traveling Mercenary and The Travels of Jacob Spach,
a fictional account based on the travels of his grandfather around the early
1900’s.
