favorite authors are David Morrell, Preston & Child, and Charles L. Grant. So it should come as no surprise that his book, TREASURE FEVER: The Hunt for El Dorado, an action/adventure novel, became one of the top ten semi-finalist in Clive Cussler’s Adventure Writer’s Competition. Its scheduled release is the spring of 2020. Red City Review gave it 5 stars, calling it “a real goldmine of a book”.

McPike based his last book, SHIPWRECK ISLAND, on a real 19th century New Zealand shipwreck that mysteriously went missing-along with its legendary gold cargo.

His previous mystery/thriller THE EMERALD CAVE, the grand finale in the acclaimed Ramsey trilogy took six years to bring to fruition. The book reveals hidden secrets about the Grail and where it might be today. The prior book in the series THE LOST PROPHET was the winner of multiple literary awards, including the Pacific Book Award for Christian Mystery/Thrillers and the Beverly Hills Book Award for Religion fiction.
