New Projects

And now I'm getting back to work on the third and final book in The Owen Spence Series. The Sugar Winds is coming soon. Sorry, this will take a while. You can enjoy this shot of myself on board Nelson's flagship HMS Victory in Portsmouth, England in the meantime. The cannon in the picture is a 64 pound shot carronade known by the sailors of HMS Victory as 'smashers'. Not hard to figure out why they would call it that!
