Riassunto:

In this re-edited, updated version of the first edition of the Bric Wahl series, we meet Russell Bricklin, “Bric” Wahl, treasure hunter, professional diver, and former Navy SEAL. The original soldier of fortune, Bric never looks for trouble, but trouble seems to find him at every corner.
Bric has been searching for a fortune in gold and silver in the Florida Keys his whole life. Today he may have found it, but not the treasure he expected. Diving on a sunken Spanish Galleon, he finds three massive gold bars, not from the wreck that sunk in 1733, but many years later. He thinks he may have finally found his fortune.
Or has he?

Informazioni sull?autore: To look at Wayne Gales, life story, you would either think he has a great imagination, or has really packed a lot into his life. Wayne’s career includes being an off road motorcycle and car racer, gourmet chef, world traveler (24 countries and all 50 states), airline employee, tour operator, rock & roll and country musician, hotel Sales and Marketing Director, and most lately, published author. “My late father said ‘write what you know about’ I did lots of articles and stories about my racing, mostly off road, Baja 1000 and things like that” Says Gales. “When I moved to the Florida Keys in 1997 I started doing articles for the Key West Citizen. They were mostly local light humor. I always had this novel rattling around in my head. When my wife Tina started working nights a few years ago, I sat down at the keyboard and cranked out most of this thing in 89 Days. I made a bucket list a long time ago and have done a good job checking it off” While “Treasure Key” is fictional novel about a single father in Key West, Gales dug deep into his own persona to write the book. Living in Key West as Director of Sales and Marketing at Ocean Key Resort off and on for several years, he has two teenage children and lived for a time in a houseboat like his fictional main character in the novel, Russell Bricklin Wahl. His heritage goes back in the Keys over ten generations, and the time spent pouring over microfilm in the Key West library presented him with a wealth of historical information that also contributed to the book. When not writing, fishing, playing golf or sitting in with a local country or rock & roll band, what does Gales do with his time? His “real” job is Director of Sales and Marketing at the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach
