WIRED
A day cruise ship is hijacked off the coast of Florida and “wired” with explosives. The perpetrators turn out to be the Los Zetas drug cartel, who have teamed up with Muslim bombmakers to exact the release of a infamous drug boss jailed in Miami.
For Captain Skip Myles the situation transcends belief. The unimaginable shock of losing his vessel to armed terrorists a mere ten miles from port has left him a bewildered captive on his own ship. When the Zetas begin killing off his passengers, Myles feel compelled to do something—but what?
When Skip’s worried wife calls her brother in Detroit, Cal rushes to her side and assesses the situation as a standoff. The government will never release the jailed drug lord and the hijackers will end up blowing the ship, killing everybody aboard it. It’s a suicide mission. Seeing no option, Cal embarks on a lone rescue mission to save his brother-in-law, convinced that if he doesn’t, no one else will.
USCG Rear Admiral Ray Hanna has the ship surrounded, but he can’t storm the ship without risking the 218 passengers. When the hijackers begin blowing up passengers wearing life jackets rigged with C-4 (makeshift suicide vests) Hanna receives 24 hours to end the crisis. The next day he gets a tip that a former Navy SEAL is planning to board the ship and take matters into his own hands, leaving Hanna with one unthinkable choice.
Later that night, armed with a black-market Uzi and some borrowed scuba gear, Cal falls back into the murky waters of the Gulf of Mexico for a two-mile underwater swim to the Majestic Star, plunging headlong into an Armageddon between the Coast Guard and the hijackers.
This is where our story begins. The stage is set and the outcome is sure to be bloody.

Archipelago – a problem by G H Neale
About Archipelago – a problem by G H Neale:
ARCHIPELAGO is a metaphorical fugue of dissonance that conflates, and confronts, supra-realities with the ineffable nature of language. Saying less, and eschewing the egotistical notional worries of directly writing about the novel, I would wish to direct you to a fulsome review of its contents: http://booksist.net/book-reviews/archipelago-ghneale/ Herewith the reviewer provides most worthy and pleasing commentary, with such expressions as: “an eye-opening literary-philosophical masterpiece.” For my own part, the whole of Archipelago contains a thematic expose of the philosophical problems of language and as such it presents itself through a meta-fictional, post-modern kaleidoscope. It is a whole roller coaster of text and should not be read by those who have difficulties with equilibrioception.
Here is a synopsis:
Despite one of the characters questioning the necessity of following a clear linear narrative, Archipelago does have one. Based in part on the ‘Philomela Myth’, the story is merely a vehicle to convey underlying themes – with varying styles for each chapter, mimetically corresponding to different environmental factors of the islands in the Galápagos Archipelago. This abstraction echoes the variegated nature of each of us in our communities, towns and islands.
The novel is book-ended by prologue and epilogue, functioning to draw the reader into an apparently prosaic world of one ordinary day in the lives of four people. These are as follows: Stephen Rei, junior sub-editor of an international publishing house; Philomena Cordova, émigré from the Galápagos Islands; Debra King, micro-biologist and Philomena’s step-sister; and Parveen Pattni, who works in her father’s newsagents.
It begins one October 1998 Saturday morning, with suggestion that Stephen and Philomena are aiming to meet on this day, but this is deception. In reality Philomena begins a lengthy ‘Joycean’ odyssey through the town, during which she meets Parveen, ruminates on her past, experiences the maelstrom of mercantile life, writes a short poem, and contemplates the nature of language. The day ends wickedly, with Terry King (Debra’s husband) raping her.
Stephen discovers a body on a train and Philomena is complicit in this (as revealed in the novel’s dénouement) for the body is Terry.
Suzel’s tale is similarly unhappy. Her husband, following one too many violent incidents, hospitalises her.
It is only Parveen, with her emergent sexuality, who has a happy outcome on meeting and falling in love with an American lady, whilst realising an innate talent to paint.
Stephen Rei is the most sea-changed character. Initially seen as hesitant and hedonistic, as he reads the sage words of Philomena he acquires a newly contented demeanour. Not, however, entailing resignation.
Other sub plots in the chapter’s vignettes echo perils and concerns of the major characters, including the tale of Mr Dibs, Suzel’s talking dog; political discussions between two elderly gentlemen; and a quasi-philosophical exegesis of time and memory, presented within the narrative as a play. These illustrate in artistic verisimilitude this presented tragedy of the ‘Philomela Myth’ and thereby mirror worrying circumstances of how we reconcile the antagonistic forces of segregation and connection.
As the novel ends we emerge from the ‘town world’ into our own surface reality – that which we are a part of, possessing the ineluctable and present-day concerns of co-existence.

Katharine Elliott left a successful thirty-year career in the hospitality industry to care for her mother-in-law as she fought her last months of a fifteen-year battle with cancer. Within two weeks of her death, Kate’s middle sister was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Four and a half months later she took her last breath.
After the deaths, she and her husband made a bold move, followed their hearts and settled overseas to live a dream in Europe. They spent four years in a medieval Croatian village on the Adriatic, followed by a move to the Costa Blanca in Spain. In the summer of 2011, Katharine read and reread authors Wayne Dyer, Anita Moorjani, and Paulo Coelho. Focused on a new way of thinking, she embarked on a path of spiritual growth.
Following her soul’s calling, Katharine walked the 800-kilometer Camino Santiago de Compostela in the fall of 2014. That journey sparked a passion for long-distance walking and a call to write. In February 2015, Katharine hiked the famed W Trek of Patagonian Chile and the renowned trails of Argentina’s El Chaltan. Her next walk took her to Italy in September 2015, to trek a portion of the Via Francigena, a pilgrimage of approximately 2,000 kilometers stretching from Canterbury to Rome.
A native of the Pacific Northwest, Katharine attended Portland Community College and Portland State, studying Speech Communication and Public speaking. Katharine has one son, Gregory, a daughter-in-law, Allison, and granddaughter, Gwen Dylan Rose. Katharine’s large extended family lives in the Pacific Northwest.
