He lives with his wife Valerie in the winters-here-aren't-too-bad Chicago suburbs.The award-winning novels in his Tween Sea and Shore Series: The Ship's Carpenter, Captains of the Renown, and On Waves Of Glory, offer more than the usual tall-ship tales. Portraying lovers as well as adventures, the author illuminates the fuller and intertwined lives of the British and French characters. Based on over ten years research into naval archives, the story follows those linked by fate and the fastest ship of its day, la Renommée-the frigate Renown.
