Haunted Lake Erie - This is a continuation in theme of the Haunted Lakes series. Haunted Lake Michigan was released in October 2006 and Haunted Lake Huron in June 2007. The release date for Haunted Lake Erie is undetermined but will likely be in 2012.

Lost on Lake Superior - Over 500 ships wrecked on the big lake.  Some like the EDMUND FITZGERALD are well known. Others, the S.R. KIRBY,  WILLIAM C. MORELAND, TIOGA, COMRADE, Barge No. 129 among others, are far less famous but in their own way, just as fascinating. Lost on Superior takes a close look at these less notorious shipwrecks. The publisher and release date are undetermined.

Gold Medal Rescues, True Tales of Heroic Rescues by the U.S. Life-Saving Service - Throughout the 44-year history of the old U.S. Life-Saving Service, 16 crews were awarded the Gold Life-Saving medal for heroic rescues against overwhelming odds. The medal is extremely rare. From 1874 to 1971, 566 Gold Medals were awarded compared to 3,408 Medals of Honor during the same period. Gold Medal Rescues  tells the dramatic story of the Storm Warrior's courage and guts.  It is the ultimate sea rescue adventure book. The Life-Saving Service lived by the motto, "Regulations say we have to go out. They say nothing about coming back." I am deep in research and  writing. My commitment to the old Life-Saving Service is profound. Of all the writing and research I do, that relating to the USLSS is easily the most personally rewarding (although the least financially remunerative). No release date or publisher has been determined.
