Travis Christian, owner of Island Air Charters in the Florida Keys, has miraculously survived nature's initial onslaught.

As he faces the terrible new elements of a changed world and the baser ambitions of his fellow man, he attempts to navigate a battered sailboat toward hope of safe harbor in the mountains of Western Arkansas.

Along the way, Christian gathers the most remarkable crew of castaways, and as one world ends, another begins, and they embark on the adventure of a lifetime.

High seas pirates, fierce storms, and ultimately, the man who would be king all stand between them and a place of refuge. Yet, banded together on this desperate gambit for survival, a handful of souls in a new world discover friendship, courage and faith, on The New Madrid Run.

This is a story about a hidden pyramid buried beneath a Southwest mesa that contains a guarded chamber that holds the sacred scrolls and tablets that reveal the answers to humanity's most puzzling mysteries. Mary weaves a suspenseful and meaningful story about four people who, for different reasons, first learn about, then are strangely drawn to seek the sacred place hidden deep beneath the New Mexico desert. What they find in the desert is at once incredibly fascinating and dangerous -- and for humanity, one of the most signficant discoveries ever made. But is it really fiction? You decide.
