FREEPORT, N.Y.
Gene Hale's 2013 novel, " Tusks" (published by Trafford Publishing) has been selected for inclusion in the Trafford Publishing Gold Seal program, which recognizes excellence in writing and overall potential.
A fast-paced story with a colorful cast of characters, "Tusks" follows Cheyenne Cole's mission to honor his father's dying request and save African elephants from illegal poachers. Encounters with arms dealers, the Russian mafia and a murderous elephant threaten to keep Cheyenne from fulfilling his father's lifelong wish, and possibly end the ex-marine's life.
Hale incorporates hot button issues, such as abusive relationships, the killing of white farmers in Africa and tribal genocide in thought-provoking, inoffensive ways as Cheyenne faces a plethora of unforeseen incidents that aim to keep readers engaged.
Praise for "Tusks":
"This story is an exciting read that will particularly attract those who love exploration stories and characters who are forced to adapt when faced with adversity and the consequences of decisions they make."
- Maria A. Hughes, the U.S. Review of Books
