Just finished The Sugar Storm and working my way through The Sugar Winds , love the books , having been in the shipping business and working in ports all over the world its my perfect book and time - look forward to reading more - we off on a cruise soon from The Canary Islands to Capetown via Dakar , Banjul , St Helena , Walvis Bay and Ludderkirk - how long does it take you to write your books ?

Lyle Garford Interesting you are off on a cruise soon, as coincidentally I am sitting in Vancouver airport waiting for a flight to LA where we board a 16 day Panama Canal cruise. Lots to enjoy about cruising.

Most of my books have required a full year to produce, but I can do it faster if I put my mind to it and avoid being my usual lazy self. Don’t know if you have read my other books (The Evan Ross Series) but if you have you may enjoy knowing a seventh book entitled The Sugar Secret is coming soon. I mention this as I only started writing the book in July and it is already at the third and final draft stage before I give it to my publisher. I started writing and the creative flow simply wouldn’t stop.

Thank you for the kind words. I am glad you enjoy the books!.

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Lyle Garford In Dewey Lambdin's age of sail series his lead character is Alan Lewrie, a British Royal Navy Lieutenant serving in the American Revolutionary War. He meets Caroline, a young royalist refugee, and saves her from rebel forces. The portrayal of their courtship, marriage, and long years apart during the wars of the late 18th/early 19th centuries is realistic and well written.

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Lyle Garford I've always enjoyed books set in the historical fiction genre involving the activities of the Royal Navy in the period from the American Revolutionary War through to 1815. This was a fascinating period in history, so writing my own series set in this era was something I knew I would love to do.
