Maug is located 270 nautical miles from civilization. The first dose of reality is that nothing works without power. Money was no object (my support characters were billionaires) but I knew I couldn’t cheat the process-whatever I designed had to actually work, and it had to conform to reality. I realized the aquariums were, in effect, their own characters and that, in order to lay out Season 1 of the series, I first had to create the facilities.įor the next three months I became obsessed with the challenges my characters would face if they had to transform Maug-three uninhabitable islets of a submerged volcano and its warm mineral water lagoon-into a state-of-the-art prehistoric aquarium vacation theme park. As part of my research, I read John Hargrove’s book about his trials and tribulations as an Orca trainer at Sea World. Part of my writing process is to imagine myself as the male protagonist-in this case a young marine biologist who must transform Maug into a marine park featuring state-of-the-art aquarium facilities that hold massive, toothy animals-life forms that must be understood and cared for-their needs met.

And so, in late December of 2019 I began working on a TV bible and pilot episode of Where Sea Monsters Roam (WSMR).

There were far too many promising storylines to explore … it felt much more like an episodic TV series - something I always wanted to write. The story had the potential to be as good if not better than anything I had written-the question now was what was it? My fans would want another novel but that wasn’t going to happen. I had an answer that would stand up to scientific scrutiny and lead my characters to the discovery of a prehistoric marine habitat-a 380-million-year-old food chain featuring the most terrifying sea creatures in history. Where was the hot mineral water coming from?
