Synopsis
In this re-edited version of book #4, Russell Bricklin “Bric” Wahl has decided to dial his manic lifestyle down a little, converting his millions in gold treasure, investing in a peaceful and uneventful Key West bed and breakfast and giving the rest to charity. Sumptuous breakfasts, beautiful accommodations, a clothing-optional pool, and a staff that makes every visit interesting. But three ghosts - and a huge, antique, emerald studded gold cross made it far from uneventful. There’s something different every day at Nobody’s Inn.
About the Author
To look at Wayne Gales' life story, you would either think he has a great imagination, or has really packed a lot into his life. Wayne's career includes being an off road motorcycle and car racer, gourmet chef, world traveler (24 countries and all 50 states), airline employee, tour operator, rock & roll and country musician, hotel Sales and Marketing Director, and most lately, published author. "Thirty years ago, I did lots of articles and stories about off road racing," Says Gales. "When I moved to the Florida Keys,I started doing stories for the Key West Citizen. When my wife Tina started working nights a few years ago, I sat down at the keyboard and cranked out most of "Treasure Key" 89 Days." His new novel focuses on a native Conch treasure hunter, Russell Bricklin "Bric" Wahl. Nearly homeless and penniless, Bric finds three gold bars while treasure hunting. While dealing with his apparent newfound wealth, he encounters drug dealers, thieves, an attempted murder, and an unexpected adventure while he tries to navigate his houseboat on a voyage from Key West to Tarpon Springs, experiences that are often humorous, and rarely dull. "Treasure Key" is a fictional novel but many parts of the story ring true. Gales has two teenage children and lived for a time in a houseboat like his fictional main character in the novel. His family heritage goes back in the Keys over ten generations, and the time spent pouring over microfilm in the Key West library presented him with a wealth of historical information that also contributed to the book. His years in Key West gave him opportunity to weave both local people and familiar places into the story that both locals and tourists will enjoy. Waynes retired and lives in central Florida with his wife Tina.
