Author Dusty Pilot draws you into a realm of terror when he takes a quick look inside a cave leading far beneath a Costa Rican rainforest. After entering the cave he becomes lost, and the cave becomes a prison infested with thousands of bats, millions of cockroaches, huge spiders and centipedes. Making his way through the twisting maze of passages without food or water for 26 hours, and a dying flashlight, his story will grab your most primitive fears and crank them up, leaving you breathless.
About the Author: Author Dusty Pilot, born March 9, 1945, Cleveland, Ohio, began his writing career at age 20 with a syndicated newspaper column entitled "Pilot Projects." From there, his life took off in many fascinating directions. Dusty looks at the world as if it were a book. "If you haven't traveled, you haven't gotten past the first page." Beginning at a young age, his parent's advice was "Live life to the fullest, follow your dreams, shoot for the stars, and never give up." By following that advice, his life became an extraordinary adventure. Doors opened to a mind-boggling banquet, and he feasted. Never content just reading about it, or hearing about it, he developed a zest for living life - seeing it, experiencing it. As a kid, Dusty barely made it through high school because of ADD. Then, against all odds, became a syndicated newspaper columnist, a weekly magazine editor of Ohio's largest evening newspaper at age 24, was a local TV personality at age 25, and after eight years had syndicated TV segments that ran nationally for two seasons. He also founded and ran five successful businesses (one international), had nine creative living books published, traveled the world, and retired to Costa Rica, building three ocean front houses. His interesting life also led to his being investigated by the Secret Service for counterfeiting; detained for a three-hour interrogation at a foreign airport; investigated by the FBI, CIA, and other agencies. He had his phones tapped numerous times and was under 24/7 surveillance in a foreign country. He also lost high six-figure life savings overnight. Dusty will share these experiences, and much more - some humorous, some not so humorous, others unbelievable - in a book entitled My Life Outside the Box: Dusty Pilot Memoirs, due to be published in 2017. In the meantime, he is writing short narratives, such as My Costa Rican Nightmares, part of a six-book collection.
