I haven't decided if I'm going to write on each of the 17 books published, but I will cover at least 5 or 6 of them. Danger Cruise is one of my favorites and is selling very well. It's not a traditional romance, nor is just action and adventure. It's a blending of the two.
Danger Cruise came about, because I wanted to develop a fast-paced story that took place on a cruise ship, but before the age of terrorists. So I researched famous ships during the 1970's and settled with Princess Carla, the jewel of the Costa fleet. I jumped on ebay and won my bid on a cruise packet from the Carla. Then I set the entire plot during a 1 week cruise. That's why all the details are based on fact, right down to the movies playing, the entertainment, the food, eveyrthing I could dig up.
The main characters were pretty easy too. I patterened John Drake, the first office after Matthew McConaughey and Raylene Capri after Eva Mendes. It would make a really entertaining movie.
Anyway, the rest of the writing was to develop character, create dialogue, move the plot along, and have a sizzling romance. Typical stuff for me. The end result was gratfying, because lots of people like Danger Cruise.
My business goal is to get the cruise ships to carry the title in their gift shops, so if you know anybody in the cruiseline industry, let me know.
"There is so much action in DANGER CRUISE that I can’t even begin to explain. If you’re looking for a passionate romance story, mixed in with danger, murder, robbery, and a smashing ending, than this is the book for you and you should read it as soon as possible. Derek Hart has told this story so well that you’d almost believe you were a passenger on the Princess Carla. I enjoyed DANGER CRUISE and highly recommend it to everyone."
