But something fishy is stirring in the emerald green waters of Destin, Florida and Captain Matt finds himself in troubled waters in jeopardy of losing his livelihood and freedom in this fish tale of epic proportions. There is money swimming in the water and some people will stop at nothing to catch it all. When greed joins forces with politics, enough is never enough...
A man and woman meet.
They talk.
They talk a little longer.
They share an experience -- perhaps an adventure.
Every great romance tells of the events that conspire to bring a man and woman together for the first time -- and forever. And when it finally happens, it's the delicious magic that embraces their whole story.
But sometimes, you want to skip the meal, pop a bonbon in your mouth, and get that great feeling right away. Maybe you're not in the mood to commit to a full-length novel to experience that special moment.
In IT STARTED LIKE THIS, you've found a half-dozen stories that don't mess around. Each distills to its essence the drama and comedy of that first -- sometimes unexpected -- encounter when the world begins to change for a man and a woman:
-- THE POODLE AND THE PUG: Man's best friends introduce a society lady and a career tough guy.
-- THE MOM AND THE MAN: A teenager connives to get her single mom to investigate their intriguing new neighbor.
-- THE PLEDGE AND THE PI: A shy fraternity pledge takes an upperclass sorority sister on an impromptu adventure of a lifetime.
-- THE DONOR AND THE DATE: A woman doesn't want a date -- until she has the date she didn't want.
-- THE GENIUS AND THE GYMSTAR: A love-struck computer jock plots an unlikely course to meet his unsuspecting crush.
-- THE SINGER AND THE STEW: A quiet man solves a flight attendant's noisy problem.
Couples meeting, talking, falling, with an unexpected escapade along the way. Encounters between smart and savvy lovers-to-be that put you right in the middle of that awkward first dance, a man and a woman not knowing quite where to put their feet but holding on anyway.
These are stories of beginnings. You won't want them to end.

"We live in a world awash in love stories. Most of them are lies. They are not love stories at all - they are lust stories, sex fantasy stories, domination stories. From the cradle we are fed on lies about love." - Introduction to Hosea by Eugene Peterson, The Message Bible
My God My Man is based upon my own adventure into the Book of Hosea, the Old Testament Prophet of Love. It details a journey I embarked upon one hot summer day on a beach in South Texas. Little did I know that I was about to be rescued from a lifetime of lust stories, and invited into a lasting story about love.
God calls Himself "Ishi" in Hosea 2:16 which is the Hebrew name for "my man." It is a term of endearment that Hebrew women use to lay claim to their loving husbands. Why is God calling Himself a name my eyes had never seen, my ears had never heard, and my heart had never received?
As I studied more and more about the enigmatic Ishi, I found myself meandering down a path where where faith and scholarship walked hand in hand. It was on this journey where lust was lost, with all the pain from my past, and where love was found, with all the promises for my future.
By embracing the truths within My God My Man, I am certain you will discover a pathway for healing your hurting heart. You will leave a world filled with lustful lies far behind, and enter into a life overflowing with lasting love.
It is a journey worth taking. I promise. He is who He says He is: My God My Man.
