A Maine Author: Eugene Elcik, Fiction is my Game

"The Lobsterman of Deep Cove, Maine," Published by Raven House Publishing, and sold via Amazon.com/books, is a story about the dangerous waters in the Gulf of Maine, giving total vigilance to the weather and the seasons.  Lobstering is their only source of income. Trapping lobster is in their blood, a part of their genes, and inheritance from generations of hauling lobsters and deep-sea fishing. This story is about the adventures, dangers, and passions that Tom Harpswell has experienced during his life of hauling lobsters.  He knows the dangers that lurks with every trip out of Deep Cove.  He has lost friends and family to the sea.  In the back of his mind, he wonders if he will be next.  Like many small Maine seacoast hamlets, the tribulations of life's unexpected tragedies are graphically revealed.
Competition is immense among lobstermen.  However, they band together, sometimes taking the law into their own hands during a lobster war, as portrayed in this novel.  The explosive encounter these haulers have with lobster poachers reinforces the bond among the lobstermen of Deep Cove, Maine.

Another thriller, "Desperation of Souls," by Eugene Elcik, and published by Raven House Publishing, grasps the readers interest.

Looking out a car window, one would think Ocean Bay, Maine to be a quiet, quaint little town.  However, behind closed doors, turmoil erupts as Chris catches his stepfather forcing himself on his daughter.  Follow Chris as he deals with his stepfather, falls in love with a woman from a wealthy, off limits family, is seduced by a traitor, and is implicated in a murder.  While roadblocks of many types are placed in his way, Chris keeps fighting, but will his efforts be all for naught?

Other books from the pen of Eugene Elcik:  "Challenges," a thriller, flavored with romance will keep you on the edge of your seat.  Soon to be published by Raven House Publishing, the Fall of 2011.  Also look for "Shiloh, the Deception of a Cult," out the spring of 2012.  Amazon.com/books.
