The author is a lifelong sailor whose formative years were spent exploring the waters of Buzzards Bay in Massachusetts and cruising the New England coast from Maine to Manhattan. His voyages have taken him from off shore trips to Bermuda, to a stint as a charter and delivery captain based in Miami, the Virgin Islands and the Eastern Caribbean. He now is a resident of San Antonio, Texas and travels to scuba dive in Cozumel, Mexico as often as work and finances permit. Look for his new novel, From El Norte to Real de Catorce, available as of August 2013.
