During a terrifying break-in at a marine laboratory, a European-North African terror group makes off with a large quantity of deadly nerve agent. Demands are made and large-scale attacks are launched in the United States from coast to coast. 

Enter O.U.T.C.A.S.T. (Operational Undertaking To Counteract Active Stateside Threats)--six ex-operatives from six of America’s most powerful organizations. Each has been unceremoniously released by their respective former employer for alleged misdoings that leave their pride wounded but their essential skill-sets untouched. After uniting over their shared bond of dismissal from the nation’s most elite outfits, the disgruntled spooks can now work together like never before to take down threats to their beloved country, a country that branded them as outcasts but needs them now more than ever. 

When the President of the United States becomes a target of the terror group while hosting a party on his yacht, OUTCAST is hell-bent on showing America that their way isn't the best way--it's the only way.

Author Blog Hop Tour

So ENIGMA Directive series author Kent Holloway tagged me in the writer blog hop that’s currently making the rounds (you can read Kent’s entry here), and I thought it was a great opportunity to discuss my current work and to talk a little bit about writing in general. Here goes...

1) What am I working on?

Right now I’m editing the second novel in my new OUTCAST Ops series, an action-thriller series about a team of ex-special forces operatives protecting America from terrorist threats. The first book, released in May 2014, is entitled OUTCAST Ops: Game of Drones, and the next one, due out later this month (August 2014), is called OUTCAST Ops: The Poseidon Initiative. They feature the same team of characters in different scenarios, but can be read in any order.

Just released this month from Kensington / Pinnacle Books is NYC disaster thriller QUAKE, a pseudonymous collaboration I wrote with Simon Fisk series author, Douglas Corleone.

Also in the works now for me is another collaborative effort with David Wood, author of the very popular Dane Maddock adventure series. Earlier this year I co-authored SPLASHDOWN in Wood’s Dane and Bones Origins series, and I am pleased to announce that I will be returning to the Origins series with a new installment entitled ELECTRA. Look for that later this year!

Last but definitely not least, I’m deep into a speculative fiction project with Morpheus Initiative series author, David Sakmyster, also due out later this year. It’s an action-horror zombie novel entitled, JURASSIC DEAD. Think zombies vs. dinosaurs!

2) How does my work differ from others of its genre?

Many of my novels, especially the Tara Shores series, incorporate scientific and technical elements in the plot. Some call them technothrillers, but even among technothrillers, the Tara Shores series is unique in that they are focused primarily around the ocean. As a marine biologist, scuba diver and boater, I have had a life-long interest in the ocean and enjoy writing about it in my novels.

3) Why do I write what I do?

I’ve always been attracted to thrillers, suspense, mysteries, and action-adventure. I had an early fascination with the works of Clive Cussler and Michael Crichton, as well as many others including Ian Fleming, Preston & Child and Tom Clancy. I just try to write the kind of novel I would want to read.

 4) How does my writing process work?

Usually I start with the premise—the what-if scenario that sets up the main action of the story. For example, What if a whale that was tagged with a web-cam for scientific purposes happened to record something illegal at sea, say a murder? That became the premise for my debut novel, WIRED KINGDOM. Once I have the premise I tend to construct a loose outline, usually just a beginning, middle and ending (classic 3-act structure), with a few stepping stone plot-points in between. Then I write the first draft. Numerous edits happen after that.

========================================================================

Next I would like to invite author David Sakmyster to participate in the Blog Hop Tour. David is author of the exciting Morpheus Initiative series. Look for his entry coming up!

Thanks a lot for reading, everyone!

An artificial island, roaming the ocean, harvesting the sun's power... 

An independent nation, ruled by a visionary genius... 

A crime scene... 

For more than a year, Solar Island, the creation of revolutionary engineer Jacob Lightner, has traversed the Pacific Ocean, reaping the sun's endless bounty of energy and providing electricity to developing nations. But is Lightner a benevolent genius, pioneering a new path to energy independence and sustainability? Or is he a power-hungry despot, intent on using the power of Solar Island to reshape the political landscape of the Pacific Rim, willing to murder anyone who gets in his way? 

Responding to a cryptic message, FBI Special Agent Tara Shores goes undercover to untangle the web of intrigue and oppression that conceals Lightner's true purpose. But nothing can prepare her for the struggle that will test the limits of her physical, mental and emotional endurance...the battle to control Solar Island.

When a renowned scientist with a solution for global warming is kidnapped at sea, FBI Special Agent Tara Shores must unravel a high-tech trail of S.O.S. messages encoded into the DNA of living cells. As each decoded message brings Tara nearer to the missing genius, it also takes her farther from help than she ever thought possible.

PRAISE FOR RICK CHESLER'S TARA SHORES SERIES 

"A whale of a tale by first-time author Rick Chesler involving modern-day pirates, media moguls, and a sexy federal agent -- all chasing a cetacean-mounted camcorder and the crucial piece of evidence needed to resolve a murder." 
~Steve Alten, NY Times bestselling author of MEG 

"WIRED KINGDOM is a fast-paced thriller that is one third deep-sea adventure, one third FBI sleuthing and one third awesome. A superb debut novel and killer concept." 
~Jeremy Robinson, author of PULSE and INSTINCT. 

"Chesler melds science and adventure with the brilliant command of the late Crichton. kiDNApped takes readers on a Hawaiian journey they won't soon forget." 
~Douglas Corleone, author of Night on Fire 

"This is a summer page turner...Remember when Michael Crichton was good? This is who I'm reminded of when I read Wired Kingdom." 
~Geekscribe.com 

"Great scientific concepts that are based in reality, especially the 
secret messages encoded in DNA...Vivid setting in Hawaiian islands with 
lots of local color and local detail. Good pacing will keep you reading 
to the end. FBI agent Tara Shores is one cool, competent chick." 
~ScienceThrillers.com 

"The lush Hawaiian setting is conveyed in a way that immerses the reader 
in the story. There's a strong scientific element to the plot, but is 
handled in a way that keeps the book accessible. kiDNApped is an 
exciting techno/science thriller in the spirit of Michael Crichton." 
~MEGALITH reviews 

Chesler really had me with all the clever science 
experiments, fast-paced chase scenes, gun action and original twists 
and turns. I need a crow bar to pry myself away."
