About the Book

“Every man is a man in trouble,” and Drew Saint, Peter Simons, and Jim Major are not exception. Hundreds of miles out to sea in the frigid waters of the North Atlantic, stories begin to change, facts begin to blur and emerge, and tempers begin to flare.

What they thought would be a difficult but fairly routine mission becomes twisted with lies and perils, as the three unsuspecting friends find themselves deliberately drawn into a complex, high seas, high stakes historical take of betrayal, revenge, greed, and murder.

Clemency is the story of three unsuspecting friends who are hired by bereaved families to salvage the bodies of their dead sons from a shipwreck which is at perilous depths out in the North Atlantic.

The Author writes to a high level of detail which pulls the reader into the story, while developing believable characters and issues that carry throughout my work. He wants you to close the book feeling like you have been to another place and have come away having learned something, or wanting to learn more.

About the Author

Charles G. Turner III was born in Winchester, Virginia. He attended grade School at The Hill School, Middleburg Virginia and entered an all-boys Episcopalian boarding school near Hagerstown, Maryland in the fall of 1979. There, he played Varsity Soccer, was an acolyte in the Chapel, and in his senior year was voted as one of 12 Prefects and one of 6 hall monitors in a dorm on Campus. He graduated with honors and went on to Randolph-Macon College in the September of 1982.

Charles concentrated his efforts on two areas of study in College: English and Computer Science. Before his graduation in 1986, he was offered and accepted a position as Legislative Assistant to Congressman D. French Slaughter, Jr., and went to work on Capitol Hill one week after commencement exercises. On the Hill, his legislative emphasis centered on matters related to Defense, Energy, Environment and Science and Technology where he served as a staffer for the committee.

As an author, Charles Turner writes almost exclusively from his personal passions and experience to add realism to his work, and enjoys living quietly with his family on a farm that has been in his family since the Revolutionary War, in Virginia’s Hunt Country.

Most would find Charles to be outgoing, gregarious, easily approachable, friendly and a good speaker who sits well in an interview. He has a deep nature, and tends to deal with broad and deep concepts in his writing. While not overtly religious, he does recognize religion as a driving force in our lives. He loves all things that are nature and the outdoors, man and invention, and experiences that elevate us through defining moments. This is well reflected in his hobbies, professional experience and his writing as a whole.
