Headlights cut through a hot summer night along a backroad in Central Florida. The driver flicks his eyes constantly from the road ahead to the rearview mirror, his heart pounding as he expects to see the heatless glow of another pair of lights closing in on him. The driver is George Wilman, a chemical engineer from a covert facility. Well, he was.
Now George is on the run.
After discovering that a breakthrough water treatment project that he was developing was only one part of a sinister plan, George blew the whistle and fled. His salvation is dependent upon his wits and guile. As he heads north, his body fraught with anxious electricity, a voice speaks to him, nearly causing him to lose control. There is, however, no one in the car with George. No, the voice is coming through the emergency response system that is integrated in the vehicle. The voice urges George to return to the facility "for his own good."
They know where he is. They know which way he's headed. They can track his every move.
Elsewhere we meet Herman Ingram, a cynical independent journalist who runs his own news site. For years Herman plied his trade in Washington, D.C., but disillusion swallowed his spirit and drove him out. After a cryptic call from his mentor, Herman receives a mysterious package from a town in Florida that he's never heard of:
Bermuda.
Inside the curious parcel, Herman finds printouts of e-mail conversations and project directives along with samples of a strange material. While he is initially wary of the package's contents and its sender, things soon come to light that lead Herman to believe that the story painted by these items might be true. Driven by the desire to right a wrong from his past, Herman sets out to find the truth about just what it is that is going on in the odd little town that the package originated from.
How far will these men go to shine a light into the darkness and reveal the truth? How far will those behind the nefarious scheme go to protect themselves and their interests?
Find out in Jeb Bohn's Bermuda, a fast-paced mixture of suspense and humor that ruminates on right and wrong and what we are willing to do to be on the right side of history.
The first step to moving past that was answering that question: "Who cares?"
Yeah, ok, I know that sounds a little aloof, maybe even a bit detached, but hear me out. I don't believe that any person should ever sell their dreams short, nor should they compromise who they are. No, everyone won't like what you do and yes, you will get negative feedback. So what? You put yourself into what you do and you let it stand on its own, for better or for worse.
I had a dream in early December of 2017, a dream which inspired me and helped form the basis for "Bermuda", my first full-length novel. I wrote as much as I could everyday, re-thinking ideas and trying not to overthink everything. Going it alone, I also spent time re-reading the entire manuscript multiple times to proofread (which I'm sure is still flawed; I am human after all) and tweak areas.
The entire process has been a huge learning experience and one that I wouldn't trade for anything in the world. The feeling that I got when my first paperback proof arrived was indescribable. Yes, there is a long way to go to accomplish the things that I want to, and there will be negativity all along the way. I know this, I own this and I will not let it derail me.
If you've read this far, I thank you, you are a wonderful person, I thank you and I wish you all the best. If you take anything away from this meandering musing, let it be this: Don't let anyone
