Pete's back on the Calypso, desperate to make up for taking a year off from commercial fishing, but absolutely nothing is going right-from his finances to his family. When one son quits, his twin announces intentions that leave everyone's jaw dropping.

Res Bay is the second of 9 books in the Seiner Series - a contemporary saga exploring the intertwined lives and loves of a commercial fishing family working the rough waters of untamed, wild Alaska. For the best reading experience, please start with the prequel, Thunder Bay, or the first in series: Rocky Bay.

Strong language, Alaskan adventure, environmentalism, slow burn. Growing up sport and commercial fishing in Res Bay, their home port, brothers Mack and Pete now have to fight for their right to catch wild Alaskan salmon there and this time the fight's going from the depths of the bay to the governor's office.

Pete took last year off, at his wife's insistence. With his twins now in college, everything seems to be costing twice what he'd planned and the Alaskan commercial fishing industry is going through an upheaval.

Great. Just what he needs.

More pressure. Justin, the quiet twin, steps up to take on the second most aggressive job on his dad's boat and everyone's astonished.

That's only the beginning as he takes control his life. Ginny's back as deckhand on Mack's seiner, unable to fight the pull of Alaska despite the deadly threats that sent her running at the end of last year's fishing season.

But family issues throw her into a turmoil as Pete's twin sons become part of the conflict. When Mack's ex-wife shows up unexpectedly, she's sure she's done for the season.
