“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle”. Remy de Haviland, the old adventurer and aviator legend shares with Saint Kristopher Grant, Anthony ‘Buddy Bear’ Philips, and Jason Bonnet.

Three College friends reunite to find an ancient heirloom Jason’s Aunt Edna hints holds the key to something much more profound.

The quirky characters and venues of Jupiter and South Florida abound, including the ex-Sea Bee computer hacker who lives in an underground bunker, the priest of a snake-handling tent revival, and the sexy crafty Cuban, ex-socialite who is determined to get more out of Buddy than he gets out of her.

The friends gather the Jupiter evidence, but quickly discover they are not alone in their search. A race against the darkness ensues as they follow the sign-posts to the Caribbean in Saint Kristopher’s antique rickety seaplane named the Lady Orleans.

Long-forgotten religions, pirate castles, and illusions of nature challenge the three in their quest to find the truth.

In the suspense filled climax, the belief in miracles becomes unanimous, as the age-old mystery of the ultimate nautical contraband is finally revealed.

DeUmbra; the twilight, the place between light and darkness where a Carolina low-country family is trapped. 

DeUmbra is about the hidden demons that are locked away deep in your soul. Some are real like Stede Bonnet "The Gentleman Pirate" that persecutes the DeUmbra family. Others are dark secrets like the death of the Sullivan brother's Mother. Some are fears like the desperate loneliness of the abandoned little girl Carol Lee Larione.

If you love The Krewe Of Jupiter series of Florida Mystery Novels, you will be drawn into the story of  Bonnet; The Too Dark Man.

Live the adventures aboard the original Nefarious, and learn the legacy that Aunt Edna and Jason Bonnet inherited, and the origins of The Church Of The white Rose.

DeUmbra is currently being re-edited to be the first in a series of pirate books to be called the “Brethren Of The Coast Chronicles”. It will still be the prequel that started the whole “Krewe of Jupiter” series but will be expanded into it’s own series with the edits. Watch for it in early 2007!

Follow the Krewe on their next adventure as the investigation of a close friends death lands them right in the middle of a crazed excomunicated priest’s religious artifact obsession with ties that go all the way back to prohibition and the early rum runners of Jupiter.

The Krewe of Jupiter follows the fading ghost of the wild man of the Loxahatchee, the original Cowboy In The Jungle, while trying to stay out of the crazed hands of the Cuban priest, Voltaire and the island voo doo shaman that is his right hand man.

Promises to old friends are tested, and love is put to the ultimate test as The Krewe Of Jupiter pushes The Lady Orleans to the far corners of Florida and the Caribbean in Rumb Line Bend
