Hero of the Merpeople? Ross Justice? What the Heck?

Ross Justice is an 11 year old boy who has some pretty incredible adventures. He saves the Merpeople and their kingdom of Atlantis in 3 short stories which make up my first children's book.

Writing books for 7-12 year old crowd was the last thing I imagined doing at the ripe age of 65. Life can be a long strange trip. I'm here to testify brothers and sisters.

“The Bermuda Triangle is also known as the Devil’s Triangle. It is located off of the Southeastern coast of the United States. It’s in the Atlantic Ocean running from the island of Bermuda to Florida and Puerto Rico. It covers around 500,000 square miles of ocean. Many aircraft and ships have disappeared in this area. Many of these incidents are very strange. One of the first incidents took place in 1945. There were many strange happenings before this but the story of “Flight 19” was the first to become widely known to the public. Five torpedo bomber aircraft disappeared over the Bermuda Triangle on December 5, 1945. They had left Fort Lauderdale, Florida on a training mission and flew out over the Gulf of Florida.”
