Welcome

I am often asked how I made the leap from Olympic sailor to published author. Though the two achievements would seem to require very different skill sets, they both played to my strengths in combining self-motivation and creativity.

I invite you to dig around this site and learn more about me and my books. I enjoy meeting authors and readers (both online and in person), so please let me know if you have a question or comment. You can also follow my blog to learn more about the intersection between books and boats.

CONTEST

To celebrate the summer sailing season, email me a photo of Cape Cod Surprise with your favorite harbor in the background, along with your address. I'll choose the best photo and send the winner a prize. Contest ends on Labor Day (September 6, 2010). Meanwhile, happy sailing and reading!

LEGACY VIDEOPPSC Video

We had a fantastic event at The Sail Loft in Boston's North End on Thursday, July 1, 2010 to officially launch Cape Cod Surprise. We also launched a legacy video, "Where Books Meet Olympic Spirit," commemorating our work with Piers Park Sailing Center.

There are lots of great signings coming up and I'm looking forward to adding more events to the calendar, so let me know if your local bookstore or library would like to host a signing or creative writing session.

Thanks for your interest, and enjoy!
