SYCAMORE BAY
A peaceful lake. A ruthless occupier. One community’s fight for freedom.
When TJ Benton and his wife, Carol, retire to the serene shores of Sycamore Bay, they expect quiet days filled with fishing and sunsets — not surveillance drones and armed patrols. But in a fractured America reshaped by war and a desperate treaty, foreign powers now control once-sacred lands. And Lake Eufaula has fallen into the hands of a cunning new overlord.
At first, it’s just outrageous fees and intrusive rules. But when a beloved neighbor is murdered in cold blood, the dream of lakeside retirement turns into a nightmare of control and fear. As the noose tightens, TJ must rally a group of unlikely allies — veterans, neighbors, and old friends — to stand up and fight back on American soil.
In a high-stakes battle that stretches all the way to Washington, these ordinary citizens risk everything to spark a new spirit of defiance. But with traitors hiding in the shadows and surveillance tightening every day, victory is far from certain.
Will Sycamore Bay become the birthplace of a new American awakening — or fall forever into the hands of an enemy within?
Sycamore Bay is a gripping, heart-pounding story of patriotism, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bonds of community. Perfect for fans of political thrillers, dystopian fiction, and stories of ordinary people standing up against extraordinary odds.

The plot was excellent. I related well to the book as my brother lived in the Eufala area and I have been on the lake. I love the fact that he made the women strong and supportive verses the usual whiney or bitchy (pardon the language). I liked the fact that it moved along verses dragging. Good characters. However, the writing itself needs improvement. By that I mean it sounds like a beginner. He needs an editor who improves his writing but doesn’t change his style.
