Hello everyone,

Looking forward to talking over the next few days about my narrative nonfiction book ISLAND IN A STORM: a Rising Sea, a Vanishing Coast, and a Nineteenth Century Disaster that Warns of a Warmer World…

I think you’ll find it an intriguing story, and maybe learn a bit about the environment, beaches, and great storms (painlessly!)
