Creaky Docklines

I am going to try to be more active on Goodreads. Maybe get some friends and develop a more active blog.

I've been busy writing a sequel to How to Rob a Bank - a Love Story. I'm tentatively calling it Harvesting the Garden of Evil
And I also dug out a book of humorous Nautical Poems which I wrote back when we were living and cruising on a sailboat. It's called Creaky Docklines and I have uploaded it Read more of this blog post »
