For Immediate Release – Naples, Florida - Emerald Ink Publishing today announced the publication of Offshore, a fictional chronicle of an honorable, wealthy Texas family with ties to the oil industry and murder. This is the first title written by author Don Corace.

Offering an educational lesson on the oil industry while telling the fictional story of the Drummond family, Offshore aims to both teach and entertain. Corace weaves his background as an oil rig drill worker with a story that touches on such themes as: terminal disease, romance, corporate greed, as well as honor, integrity, and hard work. Offshore presents itself as a classic good vs. evil story which brings an estranged family together through forgiveness. The leader of the Drummond family, while battling terminal cancer, is forced to defend his offshore drilling business against corrupt shareholders who are planning a secret takeover. Can the Drummonds devise a plan to thwart the takeover before sickness, murder, and even a hurricane bring them down?

Filled with oil industry accuracies, Offshore will provide the reader with an inside look at the oil industry. “The oil industry has been demonized by the media,” said author Don Corace. “After reading Offshore, the audience will have a better appreciation for the risk and hard work that is common in offshore drilling. This inside look into the industry coupled with the thriller story line creates a page-turning thriller that will both entertain and educate.”

Author Don Corace was born in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania and now resides in Naples, Florida. A former roughneck (worker on an oil rig) who went on to buy and sell oil and gas leases, Corace now works as a real estate development permit administrator for a waterfront high-rise condominium project in Florida.
