Flash Fiction Stories of the Sea

Jacques Yves Cousteau said: "The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever." Lending credence to these words are many of the 27 stories here about the sea and its impact on humankind. Unlike the earlier books in the flash fiction series, in which the tales were selected from among the 438 stories found in Books 1 through 6, incl., of the authors' Creative Ink, Flashy Fiction anthologies, augmented with selected offerings from Cohen's two short-story anthologies, The Road Less Taken, as well as stories from Cohen's Mementos series of anthologies, this book is unique because the stories were inspired by photographic prompts related to the sea. As well, included here are excerpts adapted from some of the authors' more popular novels having relevance to sea adventures as well.

Theodore Jerome Cohen is an award-winning author who previously has published more than ten novels-all but one of them mystery/thrillers-two short-story anthologies, twelve flash fiction anthologies, and one Young Adult (YA) mystery/thriller written under the pen name Alyssa Devine. During his 45-year career he has worked as an engineer, scientist, CBS Radio Station News Service (RSNS) commentator, private investigator, and Antarctic explorer. What he's been able to do with his background is mix fiction with reality in ways even his family and friends have been unable to unravel!
