    The Pot Luck Book Signing Begins!

    Welcome to the Pot Luck Book Signing! For a long time, I offered signed books on my website. When my book tour travels got hectic, and the number of orders grew to hundreds a week, I had to take a break. Now I get emails asking about signed books, and it breaks my heart not to… Continue reading

    Wayfinder Build: Part 5 – Coming Together

    I seriously teared up seeing this. The hull comes out of the mold and is joined to the deck. I fly out a week from today to see the boat in person. Surreal. Continue reading

    The Most Spectacular Pot Luck Book Signing in the History of the Universe

    As far as I know, this is the only “Pot Luck” book signing in the history of the universe, hence the superlative. Here’s the dealio: Living on a boat is not conducive to owning things. Which is why I haven’t owned much over the years. But now I find myself in possession of a storage… Continue reading

    Signed Books

    Remember how disappointing this scene was? Yeah, Al Capone’s vault was a bust. This weekend, Amber and I are going to try and make it up to you. We’re peeling the padlock off the old Howey storage unit and pawing through the treasures inside. Foreign editions. Original copies of the self-pubbed edition of WOOL. Pages… Continue reading

    Wayfinder: All About Power

    Wayfinder: All About Power

    I’ve had various friends and family members inquire about the power supplied on a sailing boat like Wayfinder. My dad (who will accompany me on the delivery cruise from South Africa to Florida) wondered if we’d have AC power on the boat, or just 12V DC. How does a microwave work at sea? My mom wanted… Continue reading

Just when I thought this sunset sail couldn't get any better... Anchored off the most beautiful beach in Martinique for a few nights. Set up camp on the sand for the day. Absolute paradise. This is our favorite anchorage in Martinique. Never seen another boat here, just tons of wildlife. Lots of birds, the best coral in the Caribbean, and sea critters galore. Just today we swam with rays, turtles, eels, and dozens of species of fish. Right from the boat! I grew up on a farm in North Carolina reading physics books from the local library, wishing I had someone, anyone, to talk to about the wild universe we inhabit. The best thing to come from my sci-fi career is that I get to surround myself with like-minded, curious people. Dinner with a few friends... Life gets easy when you find your person.
