He has been a full-time author since 2012 and now writes overlooking the beach and the Gulf of Mexico but longs for the time when he can call Key West home.

4.0 out of 5 stars Knee Deep in Trouble

Cam Derringer, a private investigator out of Key West, is abducted and left beaten, naked, and unconscious on an isolated, dark road when he runs afoul of a gang of boat-jackers. He is found by the beautiful Jenny, who quickly insinuates herself into his life, both professionally and personally. Soon, his partner goes missing, reminding Cam of the unsolved case of his lost wife. Events move quickly as the author weaves a tale full of intrigue populated by the colorful and shady characters who inhabit the exotic locale. Untangling the truth from the lies takes all of Cam's skill as he gradually realizes the boat-jackers are deadly dangerous and plotting a much more insidious purpose.
The story is told in a straight forward style, full of conversational asides and interesting characters. I enjoyed the avuncular relationship Cam had with his assistant, the lovely Diane. I developed an immediate affection for several of the characters, in particular the wayward bartender Dave, whose carefree lifestyle is complicated by his attraction to women of questionable sanity.
Anyone who enjoys a fast paced contemporary mystery will enjoy "Knee Deep." The author Mac (Cam?) Fortner, a native Hoosier, indicates this is the first in a proposed series, so further adventures of the guitar-playing sleuth with a fondness for Wild Turkey and pretty women may be on the horizon. It is my hope that Cam Derringer takes his place in the private eye canon along side Remington Steele, Magnum PI, and John Shaft.
"Knee Deep" is an entertaining, engrossing, and easy read. I could happily envision it as a successful television series. .

A very good first book of a new character. A serious story but with some humor and mild romance. I liked the smooth flowing plot and the different twists the characters went through. I rated the book as a very good read. Take some time and enjoy this good book.

Billie, Bill, Billy, Willie, William. All of these names were attached to DIFFERENT characters in this book. I am sure there are many more names available to use in a story. It was an interesting book in some ways. But I won't read anything else by this author.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Time to get off."

Narrator Tom Taverna becomes the Key West P.I. fan Derringer, as he gets drawn into the search for a missing man, an insurance assessor, gone for three weeks. Dan's own wife vanished five years before and he's still trying to find out what happened to her. Then along comes this rather attractive woman who almost makes him forget his post love. But then more people in the little port start vanishing including his Cam's partner.

Written in the first person so that everything becomes immediate and personal, the text doesn't pull it's punches right up to the father predictable ending. But with interesting characters and full action plot, this story is recommended to those who enjoy the slow of waves on a boat as well as slaps on the protagonists.

Fast, furious and funny
