Danielle Tara Evans reviews: Something in the Water

Something in the Water about?

The sealed box Teal finds in the street contains more than just a mystery…

What if to be with the man of your dreams…you had to give up your life? On the verge of losing her job, side-lined journalist Teal Douglas is forced to travel to the South Pacific to profile a powerful businessman. But with her almost-but-not-quite fiancé Bear discouraging her every step of the way, she may not be able to save her career or her relationship.

When corporate criminals invade paradise, Teal teams up with former boxer turned marine biologist Perry Stanley to investigate. With the help of an old islander and a wise humpback whale, they discover the true intentions behind the new fishing operations. Teal must then either accept the plum promotion that will save her career or—with Perry—defend the island with more than her life.

Something in the Air is a short story in the soul-stirring collection from Ben Starling.

Daniel thought war was tough. That was till he fell in love.

A California soldier returns to find all is not as it seems at the factory that now drives his hometown’s economy and that offers him a desperately needed job. An idealistic veterinarian determined to save the inhabitants of her animal sanctuary wants the factory’s operations stopped. Sometimes the road home is neither the one we expect. Nor the one we left behind…

 

Ben is passionate about marine conservation and boxing, both central themes in his work. His interest in marine life has taken him across three continents over the past three decades. He boxed competitively until recently and continues to coach. Ben graduated from Oxford University with a Master of Arts and a Master of Philosophy. www.ben-starling.com
