About the Author

Smuggler's Return is a literary crime story, set in Miami around 2000-2001. In the 1970's and 1980's, pot smugglers used the numerous ports and landing areas to bring in product from Jamaica and Colombia. Colombian Gold was the best product you could get, big gold buds full of resins and seeds. But in the mid-1980's, cocaine became the fashionable drug. It had no smell though it went up your nose, and whole nightclubs popped up dedicated to its use. I saw those days as did many of my readers. Pot smuggling was celebrated in Jimmy Buffett songs and Reggae music, but cocaine ruined The Business for everyone. Sex, money and fashion called for a change in getting high style. This novel is about a couple of pirates whose occupation's just not around.
