In the spring of 2013, Sepiessa Press launched XOC as a serial novel by Michael G. West. Sepiessa Press ran the eighty episodes on the WordPress blog site to coincide with the run up to the vote in the town of Oak Bluffs — whether to require the annual shark tournament convert to a catch-and-release format. The measure carried.

Xoc – The White Shark Murders is now available on Amazon in print and in Kindle digital format for Kindle devices, PCs, Macs, iPads and other tablets, iPhones and other smartphones.

However, if you live on the Vineyard, and you’re like me, you’ll want to wait a week and buy it at The Bunch of Grapes bookstore.

Sure hope you like Xoc and hear what its trying to say about how we really can’t compartmentalize inhumane and inhuman behavior. Whether we notice it consciously, It changes us and makes us less human. Or so the story goes.
