His childhood summers were spent on some of the numerous small islands in outer Penobscot Bay. As a boy, he rode along with some of the lobstermen, helping them while they hauled their traps.
The author himself worked at lobster fishing for several years. He had a 30-foot workboat and a string of 300 traps. His territory was along a four-mile stretch of coast on Penobscot Bay.
After being almost wiped out, he returned to work in electronics in the southwestern states and went on to become a Senior Electronics Engineer for a large corporation. There, he wrote an abundance of manuals, departmental polices, engineering specifications, operating instructions, test manuals, and new product descriptions.
His writing reflects the unique style of an engineer. He gives greater attention to systematic story development and plots. His experience helps to provide more detailed descriptions of the story environments.view less
