Stories from Nevada County, California, told by a man who arrived in 1986 and has been new in town ever since.

He also writes about the Sierra foothills, where he has lived for forty years without yet qualifying as a local.

A missed radio call. A wrecked boat. A man who knows the sea doesn't lie, but people do.
A program that binds isolated veterans to each other, and then uses the binding as the trap. Coop on the page at last.
Scott Davis served in the United States Navy aboard submarines, SSBN 611 and SSN 590, as a Quartermaster, the rating responsible for navigation, charts, and dead reckoning.
He used the GI Bill to earn a degree in Electronic Engineering, then a Master's in Computer Science. He worked forty years as an electronic and computer engineer. When he retired, he began teaching Computer Science at Sacramento State.
He has wanted to write novels since he was a teenager. It took him a while. Dead Reckoning is his first novel.
He lives in Nevada County, California, in the Sierra foothills. His books are published by Declination Press.
