Published on May 31, 2012. Fiction.
This may be a Wisconsin story, but it has global implications. Do you ever wonder what would happen if the New Madrid Fault expanded the entire length of the continent and caused a horrendous earthquake? What if it split our nation in half? And what of Global Warming? As a world community, can we stop these things? This is a fictional story but what if it was real?

Biography
I'm 63 (I'm old), an American from Iowa living in Wisconsin and married to a British Citizen named L.M. Cook or "Mick" for short. We met on the Internet, married in England and have been married for 15 years. We have no children or pets and my hobbies range from regional cooking to beading and plaster statuary restoration. There are a lot more, but there isn't room here!! I am a published author of four traditional novels (which are a series) and I normally write in the mystery/crime category. A portion of the royalties from my ebooks (when I have gone into profitability) will be donated to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Rotary International to provide needed vaccines to poor countries, especially to combat Polio, which has now resurfaced globally. I had Polio at age four and a half and now have Post Polio Syndrome, which is why I became a writer. I was unable to continue in sales, so I used my background to become a published author at age 55. Although I am retired, I am a full-time author and manage to work in photography when I'm able. But now it is time to sell my work, create new books and my time has now been booked up for the next five years with four new projects. I thought retirement was supposed to give you free time? NOT.

Do you have a goofy relative who is constantly playing pranks? Is there something not quite right about the new home you are moving into - but you can't put your finger on it? Combine the two and you have Uncle Norman and his oddball idea of justice - justice for someone who was murdered and discovery of the killers who got away - well, almost.
