Nearly one hundred people died. It could have been prevented.
OCEANSIDE is a work of fiction inspired by the tragic collapse of the Champlain Towers in Surfside, FL, in June of 2021. This disaster thriller novel weaves three stories that span the 40-year life of the building. Each story, rich in detail and emotion, contributes to the reader’s understanding of the looming tragedy.
In the summer of 2021, in the dead of night, Lieutenant Dan Crawford and his team of firefighters race against time, responding to the harrowing collapse of the Oceanside Condominiums at 88th Street and Collins Avenue in Miami Beach, Florida. Then, we flash back to 1979, when Jack Brooks, a real estate developer from New York, relocates to Florida, where his success hinges on one crucial element—the construction of a new condominium named Oceanside.
We jump to the winter of 2018 to find Hannah and Bob, who have become “Snowbirds,” trading the cold and snow of Westchester for the sun and sand of Florida. Relishing their retirement, they delve into the Florida real estate market and purchase their second home—a condominium that seems to meet all their criteria and just so happens to be located on 88th Street and Collins Avenue. Finally, we return to Dan Crawford and the first responders as they struggle to save lives amid an environmental disaster. This historical fiction novel is destined to become an Amazon bestseller.
OCEANSIDE is Larry Terhaar’s debut novel. He is a recently retired real estate developer who has built a condominium complex and serves on the board of directors of a high-rise condominium in southern Florida. He is uniquely qualified to tell this multi-layered story, brimming with romance and captivating characters, that ultimately reveals the cause of this tragedy.
“OCEANSIDE is required reading for anyone considering retiring to the beach in Florida.” CT Reader

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
I was recently honored to win The Literary Titan Gold Book Award for my novel AGAINST THE BLUE WALL. https://literarytitan.com/?s=Terhaar+ Since retiring from a career in real estate development, I've become infatuated with writing, renewing a childhood passion. In 2021, when the Champlain Towers in Surfside, FL, collapsed, I felt compelled to apply my life experience and write about it, resulting in my first novel, OCEANSIDE.There was quite a learning curve, but after working with some professional editors, I wake each morning with a scene or passage that I must get down on paper. As I continue to refine my craft, I've published two private detective novels, the most recent of which won the award.Having been fascinated with ocean sailing for decades, my wife and I sailed the western Atlantic and Caribbean seas many times from Maine to Grenada and everywhere in between. That experience inspired me to write NAVIGATING THE AFTERMATH, again drawing on my knowledge.
