Gulf Winds introduces Ulysses (a.k.a. Uly) Grant, a recently returned veteran of the war in Iraq who is searching for a bit of tranquility among the Florida mangroves and the financial security provided by a tiny bit of harmless computer fraud. Instead, Uly finds himself in the middle of a drug drop, entangled with a mysterious woman, terrorists, intrigue and cross-conspiracies, all attempting to influence off-shore oil exploration in the Gulf of Mexico.

My wife Peggy and I met Pete Price with his greyhounds Molly and Lucy at the northern tip of Ozello within sight of the nuclear plant cooling towers across Crystal Bay. Thus began the deep affection I now have for Flash the greyhound, a central character in Gulf Winds.
How times have caught up with the fictional plot - drugs and returning war veterans, deep drilling problems in the Gulf of Mexico, controversy over Mexican migrants, the Seminole Indian heritage, the whole Cuba question - and the rescue of retired racing greyhounds.
If only I had the answers to all the questions! --J. M. Taylor
Uly Grant is tough, but a car bomb on the road to Baghdad killed his best friend and left Uly with a busted leg and Flash the retired greyhound.

He discovers his hacking skills developed as a military intelligence analyst is a way to siphon off illicit funds from criminal and terrorist bank accounts, especially useful when he is sidetracked by a woman intend on making her own fortune.
