Connect Savannah News & Opinion: "The magic of the marsh is on full display in Forever Across The Marsh, . . . Truly, the book is unique in that it deftly weaves seemingly separate stories together into one story of Melvin Scott, a newcomer to Savannah that quickly learns about Lowcountry life. Upon arriving from Rhode Island, Scott finds out he's allergic to no-see-ums. . . . Now, humor is a major part of Forever Across The Marsh, but that's just one factor. . . .The book also rolls in some deeper meanings. . . ."

This book explores humorous questions like "Why do boats break down at the worst times?" and "What is a mosquito's purpose in life?" It also explores serious questions like "Can I feel the presence of others near me?" and "What is our purpose in life?"

While Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil shines on the city of Savannah, Forever Across The Marsh turns its gaze on the vast, alluring marsh. Like a full moon on the night horizon, a new best seller has risen. Simply put, there is nothing like this genre-defying novel. Forever Across The Marsh is an experience. You will feel the full range of human emotions. You will laugh. You will cry. And you will look at life differently.

The book opens with Scott believing he has found a formula for becoming a millionaire, perhaps in less than thirty days. There is a problem. Scott lives in total chaos with his wife and young children in a house that is falling apart. This is all on top of leaving the military to start over again. What follows is a roller coaster ride of misadventures - both serious and hilarious. Scott's search for riches comes to a head when he meets a professional treasure hunter from Key West who has located one of Blackbeard's sunken ships in the marsh outside of Savannah, GA. Racing to join the treasure hunter, Scott stops in his tracks when he encounters the one person in the world who could keep him from finding the treasure.

Forever Across The Marsh is now forever linked to the real-life "Treasure Hunt" story of June 2019 as reported by Savannah Morning News, WTOC TV Savannah, Live 5 WCSC Charleston, Bluffton Today, Bryan County News, and others. Learn more at www.acrossthemarsh.com.

What People Are Saying

"I've been a reader my entire life. Couldn't put it down. The author has successfully woven an inspiring, relatable, serious and funny tale that makes you NEED to know the outcome. And probably the most successful part of this book is the humor. If you can read this book without laughing out loud, then you probably aren't very much fun to be around." - Mike

"I haven't laughed that much in years and I read this until 5:00 in the morning for I just couldn't stop reading and I am a 87 year OLD woman." - Nan

"I was given this book as a Christmas gift... She said it 'spoke' to her and after reading a few lines she knew she had found my gift. This author has done an amazing job weaving a story that I couldn't put down. He took me on an emotional roller coaster from laughing out loud to someone must have been cutting onions nearby. I LOVED it, incredible fun, and I'm truly grateful to my daughter-in-law and Mr. Pearson for a 5 star gift
