Western Washington State - Two cantankerous characters, fifty somethings fall in love - a lady state trooper and a software mogul. She is widowed, he is a confirmed bachelor. Sparks fly, but a relationship is born or should we say reborn - they do not remember their first meeting as children who shared many interests. She was seven and he was nine when they met on that Whidbey Island beach long ago. Little did the lovers know of the coming storm - it would put their very lives on the line. They were troubled with premonitions. Fate would put them together at the wrong place at the wrong time - or so it seems, in the path of dangerous fanatics. Thrust into the fire, these defenders of the homeland and a handful of others faced the fight of their life on that icy wet November night against a determined terrorist cell with big plans. Would the couple survive to their wedding day? Would they even survive the night? Divine intervention from another character of supernatural persuasion, which had followed them from their very births, might help their odds. This 'secret' friend could have been responsible for incidents and accidents in their past that led up to this stormy November night. "That hillbilly angel is meddlin' agin' " The author, Eric G. Waggoner was born May 24, 1956 in Everett, Washington and has lived in western Washington most of his life. He is a production worker at the Boeing Company in Everett and a freelance writer. This is his first novel offering, a dark somewhat romantic comedy with a good helping of dangerous adventure and explosive action involving a couple of cantankerous hillbillies. He cites various influences - Hunter S. Thompson, Tom Robbins, Ken Kesey, James Michener and others too numerous to mention. A teller of tall tales, he hopes this is tall enough for you. Eric now lives in Marysville with his wife and his 16 year old daughter.
