I just bought Wrecker's Key for my Kindle. You might want to update your page here at GoodReads... ie, it's already available on Amazon for Kindle. I hope to get reading soon.

Hi Christine,

Thanks for being a friend. I just finished delivering a Hunter 50 to San Francisco from San Diego. Nice trip, nasty weather! Saturday night I'm presenting a program on my book, From Boys 2 Men, An Adventure in Paradise to the Mission Bay Yacht Club.
