Author Interview - Daniel Pyne
Author of Water Memory
“Aubrey Sentro, a former black ops specialist now working in the private sector, takes a freighter cruise to rest and reset after learning she's suffering memory loss caused by serial concussions. Estranged from her adult children because of long absences and all the secrets kept form them while they were growing up, she uses the peaceful journey to reflect on her life and relationships, as well as strike up a new friendship with an Englishwoman on the cargo ship. Her healing is interrupted, however, when sea pirates attack the ship. The Englishwoman is killed, but Sentro escapes into the warren of containers and falls back on her training and instincts to do battle with the pirates. Unfortunately, nothing is what it appears to be. And when Sentro's son, from whom she's spent a lifetime hiding her real avocation, decides to try and negotiate for his mother's freedom, Sentro's personal and professional lives collide with the most deadly consequences.”
