I’ll be joining several local authors from CAPA (Connecticut Authors and Publishers Association) at the revived Norwich Rose Arts Festival on Saturday, July 1, 2023 from 11 to 6 pm at the Chelsea Parade. Stay tuned for updates.

I will be one of the Connecticut authors at RJ Julia in Madison, CT when they host a Meet the Author Night on Tuesday, March 3rd at 7 pm. I am delighted for the opportunity to speak about my new novel, Spy Island, make some new friends and sell some books. Many of you know me from the sailboat racing community in Long Island Sound, some from the Hartford Whalers in ancient days, and now I look forward to meeting new and old fans of storytelling, characters that jump off the page and real life events that impact our imaginary lives. Watch for more information as we get closer to the event and plan your evening to join us for some reading fun.

I am very excited to be invited to Mystic’s Bank Square Books on Wednesday evening, February 26th at 6:00 pm for an author’s talk and reading followed by a book signing. I’ve been running all my life and it looks like I’ve finally found a neat place to hideout. Among the books, ideas and unknowns at one of the great small town book stores in America. Both Spy Island and my first novel, Crew will be available for sale. And there may even be a preview of my next epic, “Can’t Sail In Jail”. I hope you can set aside an hour in your busy evening and join us for the stimulating conversation.
