“After this, what kind of songs do you think they’ll be singing about her over their beers, mate? She’s legend.”
In a way, that sums up my newest book, “Girl on a Dolphin.” It’s Book Two of The Neptune Chronicles, and it takes you deeper into their underwater world.
“Daddy, daddy! People on dolphins! There are people on dolphins out there!”
Jamie and Mercy have been living on a tiny island in Fiji for five years, and their daughter, Saffron, just ran in to tell them that she saw Neptunes riding on dolphins. They have to travel to both sides of the globe to forestall what people are calling “The Dolphin War.” With the balance of power over and under the seas at dire risk, can they bring peace between the Neptunes and the humans in time? “Girl on a Dolphin” brings us closer to the almost human race beneath the waves.

Stairway of the Gods takes readers on a magical journey to the Philippines and the heartland of
its people in the Cordillera Mountains. Warren’s tale of skullduggery unfolds on the slopes of the
Banaue rice terraces when Paul and Joan Webster are trapped in the village after an earthquake. Paul is hospitalized and Joan is left alone to protect one of the most important discoveries of the Twentieth Century—a treasure of gold and precious artifacts hidden in a cave during World War II—that some would kill for.
Buried treasure, high adventure and romance. These are the key ingredients that make Vic Warren’s novel, Stairway of the Gods, a page turner.
Explorers and treasure hunters have speculated on whether the story of World War II Japanese officer, General Tomoyuki Yamashita’s buried treasure in the Philippines, is myth or truth. Warren takes this premise and turns it into riveting fiction. His main characters are peppered with Bogie and Bacall-ish style, while his other characters are a reflection of the local culture.
