ABOUT THE BOOK

A forgotten battle. A live-aboard dive vessel. Will exploring what lies under the coral tear these men apart?
America, 1985. Nick Mitchel is wracked by grief. Destroyed by his beloved wife’s death, the retiree is fighting to keep his flashbacks from disturbing long-buried truths. And a diving expedition in the Pacific Ocean he’d hoped would heal old wounds only reopens dark memories of the war…

Japan. Junichi Takahashi is brimming with indignation. After surviving the WWII firebombing of Tokyo as a child, he resents his dying father’s request to explore a sunken graveyard. And with the location now a tourist mecca for scuba divers, he’s furious that one of his nation’s most tragic losses has turned into an underwater playground.

As Nick struggles with nightmarish visions, his anger awakens when a saboteur starts tampering with his equipment. And as Junichi battles to make peace with his grim history, he confronts Nick in a dangerous collision of perspectives.

Can the two men salvage anything from the wreckage of a bitter conflict?

Eye Contact Over Truk is a heartrending work of historical fiction. If you like nuanced characters, emotional journeys, and surreal backdrops, then you’ll love Stephanie Woodman’s thought-provoking exploration of the past.

ABOUT THE AUTHORStephanie Woodman is an avid collector of experiences and a perpetual student of life. Despite her analytical background with a long engineering career and a short tenure as a high school math teacher, Stephanie has a powerful creative side which has manifested itself in her debut novel, Eye Contact Over Truk.

The inspiration for Stephanie’s literary endeavors springs from a diverse array of influences. From the adventurous exploits of Clive Cussler’s underwater thrillers, the poignant writing of Robert James Waller, to the captivating biographies of Aline, Countess of Romanones, Stephanie finds influence in stories that transport her to new places, times, and cultures. She also draws from her own life experiences, infusing her writing with authenticity and emotional depth.

The idea for Eye Contact Over Truk came to her in 1996 during a scuba trip to Truk Lagoon. She put the project on pause during her career and finished it in earnest after her retirement in 2021. With the additional two decades of life experience, her writing transformed to explore themes of perseverance, forgiveness, grief, loss, life, love, and adventure. This evolution of her story is captured best by Mark Twain’s timeless adage that “history often rhymes,” blending youthful vigor with seasoned introspection.

Outside the realm of literature, Stephanie is an avid pickleball player and golfer, finding joy in friendly competition. She loves scuba diving, sailing, traveling the world to explore new cultures and meet new people, and spending time with her son, who is now starting his own adventure in college. Stephanie is an active member in her community, volunteering her time to help students in robotics programs and is also known for her past role as a clown, bringing laughter and joy to those in need.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Tammy O. Bullock is from a small town in Utah. She is a proud mother and grandmother. Tammy is an administrative secretary at a high school, and in her free time she travels with her husband, has a passion for gardening, and a great love of horses and dogs.  Growing up she delighted in hearing tales told by her grandparents that were passed down from generation to generation.

After her grandmother passed away, she inherited a trunk of old photos. Tammy was intrigued by the photos of her ancestors. Soon she found herself knee-deep in genealogical research. One ancestor, in particular, stood out; her great, great grandfather, Ole Mads Olsen who had emigrated from Denmark. She began to explore Danish customs, and along with her sisters have entwined them into their family Christmas traditions.

In 2015, Tammy decided to write a Danish Christmas story so her children and grandchildren would know her favorite Danish traditions.  She titled it The Nisse of Christmas. Her family has since encouraged her to publish the story. In 2018 Tammy accomplished her dream of going to Denmark. She fell in love with the country her ancestors came from. After her return, she had a renewed desire to publish her story.

This book “The Nisse of Christmas” is a gift of love to her children and grandchildren. Although the story is fictional, the names and characters were real.

Author JMW, Hit FOUR Amazon.com Bestseller Lists Yesterday With “COLOR OF FIRE”

Houston, TX – Friday, December 22, 2017 – Author JMW  joined the ranks of bestselling authors on Amazon with his New Book, “COLOR OF FIRE,” which was released Thursday, December 21, 2017, by Amazon.com – the nation’s #1 place to buy books.

On the day of release, his book started its upward movement towards best-seller status on Amazon.com and reached #1 best-seller status in FOUR categories including, Christian Ethics, Adult Christian Education as well as Teen & Young Adult Sexual Abuse Fiction eBooks.

The people of Pimsler, Colorado, never much believed in a boogieman—especially not some monster living under their beds. They thought they could stay safe by turning a blind eye to the reality of wicked people who paraded themselves in the light of goodness. They thought they’d be okay, but they were wrong. It turns out the boogieman is real, and he’s everywhere.

In cities across America and the world, good citizens turn their backs on what’s right in the name of safety and security. There are plenty of folks like that in Pimsler, but things are about to change. A Bible teacher, a corrupted minister, a prominent businessman, and a gritty cop are in the midst of a twisted plot that captures innocent children and pushes the limits of the righteous beyond what any person thought possible.

Good men are desperate to save not only lives but souls, too. This is a divine battle, fought on the Colorado streets. But even if the brave few of Pimsler can stop the spread of evil in their own neighborhood, the chase must go on to capture the evil that steals, lies, and kills. Christ wants to capture the hearts of the disillusioned, but is it too late?

About Author JMW –

JMW was born in Texas. The son of a rodeo cowboy and businessman. He joined the Marine Corps during the Vietnam war and served in a military police unit. He followed that line of work after the military, serving as a policeman. Through many trials, he was converted to Christianity and attended a seminary where his faith in Christ was solidified.

He worked with several churches and traveled extensively internationally during the 90’s. Through his experiences of seeing the world and understanding that man needs a Savior, he began writing to not only share life experiences but to, more importantly, share his Savior. It is his unique look at Jesus Christ that JMW wishes to express to the world today. He has discovered that it is not about him but his Christ that men must come to understand. He writes fiction but never fiction about Jesus!
