TIM QUEENEY is the former editor of Ocean Navigator, a magazine for offshore voyagers. Tim's work has appeared in Professional Mariner, American History, and Aviation History. He has had short stories published in the crime anthology Landfall, Best New England Crime Stories 2018 and in the speculative anthology A Land Without Mirrors. Tim lives in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, with his wife and a rescue dog, Frankie. A life-long sailor, he has taught celestial navigation, radar navigation and coastal piloting ashore and at sea — where he tied plenty of knots and handled many a rope.

Tim answered Will Byrnes's question: Are there any plans afoot to make a documentary series from your book? It seems a natural subject for such. Hi, Will. At least one cable channel has the book in hand. I'm not free to say more but let's hope that goes forward. Thanks for your question!
