Captain Brian Trilogy

Books in the Trilogy are sequential, spanning nearly a decade. The award-winning Greater Trouble in the Lesser Antilles is a good place to start, but each book stands on its own.

Thank you for your interest

Thank you for your interest in Greater Trouble in the Lesser Antilles. The book came out in March of 2007. I received a number of terrific reviews which can be accessed at scarlettapress.com. This past spring and summer I traveled to the following places to promote the book:

Puerto Rico (San Juan)
US Virgin Islands (Dockside Books, St. Thomas)
Trinidad (Nigel R. Kahn Booksellers, Port of Spain)
Florida (Books and Books, Coral Gables; Circle Books, Sarasota; Inkwood Books, Tampa)
New York (Talking Leaves, Buffalo)
Connecticut (Hickory Stick Books, Washington Depot; R. J. Julia Books, Madison)
Rhode Island (Other Tiger Bookstore, Westerly)
Massachusettes (Amherst Books, Amherst)

In Minnesota I have given readings at Magers & Quinn Booksellers in Minneapolis, Common Good Books in St. Paul, J O'Donoghue Books in Anoka, The Bookcase in Wayzata, and Northern Lights Books in Duluth.

Many thanks to the fantastic booksellers who received me so warmly and graciously.

In the mean time, I have been working on a second book in the Captain Brian series tentatively entitled, Low Jinks on the High Seas, and am about one hundred pages into the third book for which I have no working title as yet. I will post prepublication excerpts of both books in future posting.

I will be signing books in White Bear Lake, Minnesota on March 15, 2008 from noon to 2:00 at Festival Foods. Hope to see you there.
