Hey y'all, it's been a while since I last posted. I have been very busy with work and preparation for our 25th wedding anniversary trip - in June. I have been working on Three Seconds On, Three Seconds Off as well as on a set of kayaks for the trip.
The kayaks, when all the work is done - and it nearly is, will be a portable, catamaran style boat with a crab claw sail. I have taken a few photos, and hope to post a few when I get enough extra time to do so. When my sweetheart and I go on our trip, we plan to sail near a Pacific lighthouse. If I can get Internet access, I'll post from our location.
My writing is moving along nicely, and I am nearly finished another story. It is proving to be a tough challenge - getting all I want to say into one cohesive tale, but I think things will come together to my liking. I love to write, and the memories are sweet.
My publisher and I are fine tuning a photo for the home page of my website. It is coming soon, but not quite yet. I'll let you know.
Later...
Author of: "Three Seconds On, Three Seconds Off" - a collection of true stories about growing up on a remote lighthouse on the west coast of British Columbia, Canada in the wild Pacific Ocean. - Expected release date: TBA. Author of: "In Ravenscrag's Shadow" published online in this blog. Contributing author to: "Famous Family Nights" compiled by Anne Bradshaw

The Last Manned Lighthouse in the USA
Hi again,
Lighthouse stories & stuff are prominent on the Internet, and a few days ago I was surfing the electronic waves next to several of them when I came across this story. It is about the last manned lightstation in the United States - Boston Harbour Light. Written by By Annie Sherman for the March 13, 2007 issue of The Christian Science Monitor, and entitled, "She Keeps The Lighthouse Fantastic", I found it to be an interesting, compelling and bitter-sweet story. A nice piece of work Annie!
