Oceans of Trouble

Going to sea is an escape from reality,
unless reality comes with you

****

Meet Tyler Chambers: a U.S. Navy sailor with little rank, big dreams, questionable luck, and a job description that can be summarized as “professional toilet negotiator.” Fresh off shore duty and desperate for adventure, he steps aboard the USS Expectation—a floating tin can packed with egos, sea stories, and enough bad decisions to keep the ship’s welders employed full-time.

One ill-advised night in Waikiki ricochets into a six-month deployment of chaos: shipboard pranks, nonstop culture shock, a shipmate who treats harassment like cardio, and a captain who seems personally offended by Tyler’s continued survival. Add rough seas, rougher ports, and a growing suspicion that the universe is running a prank channel—starring him.

With sharp wit, irreverent humor, and a growing sense of dread, Oceans of Trouble is a coming-of-age naval adventure with a dark undercurrent. Dive in and discover why trouble always finds Tyler Chambers—no matter how far he sails.
