About New Tides
Simon Hardman is an ex-drug enforcement agent living a secluded life in the Florida tourist town of Destin. An email from his sister tells him about his high school girlfriend being shot down and is hanging on by a thread. She was in the process of prosecuting a brother of one the drug gangs in the area. It turns out he is associated with the number one drug cartel in the world. It takes all of Simon’s years of training to take down the people responsible for the shooting, along with the help of close friends still with the agency. The twist in all of this is his girlfriend had twin daughters who are now teenagers and they are Simon’s.

Random Quotes:

I truly believe socialism will kill the beach bum way of life and the free spirit within each of us that comes with that particular life style.

So the "feds" showed us how much they really cared about the environment with their lack of "anything" in the Gulf of Mexico. Still a little ticked off.

The only thing permanent in our lives is change, sure hope I have some left in a couple of more years.

"If you're lucky enough to be at the beach, you're lucky enough."

The first twenty five years of marriage have been a bit of a blur. Now that the kids are grown and gone, I have time to truly appreciate the lady that has shared half her life with me. Love is a great thing, yeah baby!!

If Simon Hardman were a real person, what would he have to say about the Emerald waters of Destin having tar balls.

Try to find love and joy in a world gone off the deep end. Love one another and peace will have a chance.
