This high-paced intrigue, skillfully woven by experienced pilot, sailor and retired Navy Commander, Tom Hudgin, will captivate young adult and adult readers. Tom Hannaford finds mysterious lettering on a barnacle encrusted plank floating in the surf along a deserted North Carolina beach. With insatiable curiosity and after some questionable research, Tom convinces his friend, Chris, to fly with him in Tom?s Cessna Cardinal on a leisurely vacation in the Bahamas near where, coincidentally, Tom suspects his message from the sea originated. When they decide to land to investigate remote Cat Island, they stumble upon a quite shocking discovery that sends them running for their very lives, using all their skills and cunning just trying to survive. A lovable thirteen year old island boy, who had hustled them at the George Town airport, then unexpectedly twists the plot to an exciting climax. Tom Benenson, Editor of Flying Magazine says "Rarely do authors, who include flying sequences in their novels, get it right. Tom Hudgin, in Incident at Cat Island, has filled his mystery/suspense novel with enough aviation details to keep any pilot happy." .

Just off the coast of the Gulf Islands National Seashore lies Cat Island, an isolated, T-shaped sliver of sand with a remarkable past. A coveted hiding place for Jean Lafitte's pirate treasure in the late eighteenth century and illegal booze during Prohibition, Cat Island also witnessed the first shots of the Battle of New Orleans, an encampment for Seminoles during the Trail of Tears and the first lighthouses on the Mississippi coast. As a child, author John Cuevas learned that his family had owned and lived on the island for three generations beginning with his ancestor, Juan de Cuevas, referred to as "The King of Cat Island," who received it by way of a Spanish land grant. In this engaging work, Cuevas chronicles the historic events that occurred on the island's shores and offers a tribute to the legacy of one of the Gulf Coast's pioneer families.

Cat Island, just off the Mississippi Gulf Coast shoreline, has been home to some of the most dramatic events and remarkable stories in the nation's history. While some of these stories are fact, others are colorful fables passed down through the ages with such conviction they have become true in the hearts and minds of many. Between fact and fiction is the undeniable reality: Cat Island is one of the most historically significant landmarks on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Featuring over 160 black-and-white photographs by Jason Taylor and a foreword by Mississippi's Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann, John Cuevas's Discovering Cat Island guides readers through Cat Island with stories and histories of twenty-nine sites--both real and imagined--of the legendary barrier island. Originally owned by the Cuevas family as part of a Spanish land grant to Juan de Cuevas in 1781, Cat Island boasts a colorful history that includes events related to the notorious pirate Jean Lafitte and the outlaw James Copeland, both of whom were thought to have buried their stolen treasure somewhere on the island; the Battle of New Orleans; and the War of 1812. The island served as one of the staging areas for the Seminole forced to abandon their homes and take part in the Trail of Tears. In the twentieth century, the island was a convenient transfer point for gangsters and local bootleggers shipping booze during Prohibition before becoming a US military training camp site during World War II. In 1988, Cat Island became the location of the first oil drilling ever in the Mississippi Sound and in 2010 was one of the islands devastated by the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

In a frigate stolen from his own navy, Captain Favian Markham races to New Orleans with the dispatches he’s captured from a British warship— dispatches making it clear that the city will soon be the target of a British fleet and an invading army. But Favian finds New Orleans a city of intrigue, where Creoles conspire against the Americans, where streetfighters cloak their murders under the Code Duello, the pirate Jean Laffite battles the Navy, and a cabal of elite soldiers conspire to hand the city to the enemy— and where two sensuous Creole women, Eugenie and Campaspe, vie for his favor. In order to resist the coming invasion, Favian must fight his way clear of conspiracy and unite the divided city, and soon discovers that in order to buy time for the defenders, he must sacrifice his own ship, and his own career, in a hopeless fight against an overwhelming power . . .

The merchant ship Laconia set sail from England in 1762 with thirty-five passengers and crew plus nine cats, bound for the Virginia Colony. A month into their voyage a fearsome storm wrecks the ship, killing all the passengers and crew. Miraculously all the nine cats survive, clinging desperately to the wreckage Cat Island is the story of their survival. The nine cats find themselves washed up on a seemingly deserted island, a daunting prospect for the cats used to life on the crowded city streets of London. Once recovered from their ordeal at sea they set out to explore the island and soon find they are not alone. The island has been abandoned by its human inhabitants, leaving behind a colony of cats and dogs who keep out of each other's way and as far from the evil 'Mousadonians' as possible. The arrival of the shipwrecked cats changes the balance of island life and brings about an unlikely alliance.
