In the novel Fracked! he tells of the search for the cause of geologic nightmares that are rapidly escalating and could lead to a regional apocalypse – the collapse of Bull Shoals Lake. The book is filled with accurate details about the area which makes it an even more interesting read for those who live in and know the area.
