Red Surf is a serial killer story, but it is unique in that the killer uses sharks as the method of death. Although the subject of the story is terrifying, as just the very image of sharks evokes an almost visceral and deeply instinctive fear in us, much of the violence takes place off the page.
While researching sharks for Red Surf, Tracy Sharp discovered what amazing animals they are. Sharks are incredible APEX predators that are needed in our oceans for our ecosystem to function properly. Great whites are crucial balance keepers.
Great white sharks are making a strong come back. The population had dropped 70 percent since the 70s, but since 1997, the population has grown an estimated 42 percent, thanks to the growing seal population and a federal ban on hunting Great whites in U.S waters.
So the next time you're at the ocean, you may want to pay attention. You might spot a Great white hunting for seals or large fish along the shoreline.
Red Surf is currently available for kindle at an introductory price of .99 cents until the end of July.
