Seaweed
Seaweed is the gripping account of a fictional sea voyage by the British merchant vessel M.V. Auroras during the late 1960s. This story takes place at a time when the world was in a state of great turmoil. The protracted Cold War between the Soviet Union and the Western powers was reaching its height. Confrontation between the Arab states and Israel had forced the closure of the Suez Canal to shipping. In the Far East, a violent political war was raging in Vietnam, and across Northern Africa a deadly famine was beginning to take its grip on the population. This compelling view of sea-faring life during turbulent times is told from the perspective of Alex Bevan, the ship's young radio officer.
Anton's Falcon
Enter a treasure-filled story, one packed with pirates, ghosts, and spies, and sprinkled liberally with a mysterious mixture of truth and lies. Malcolm Westcott is a British merchant seaman now back on shore, who takes the job of renovating a derelict cottage on the edge of Dartmoor. It is there in a dusty attic that he makes an unexpected discovery. He meets a stranger named Stamford, a beautiful Russian spy, and then encounters a series of strange events that appear to be a warning. Lacking perception, he fails to register their meaning, and it all ends in a frightening conclusion.

...So, Goodnight Dear and I Do Love You
I never met my great uncle. I really, only knew his name. His story begins for me with a box of letters and mementos saved by my great aunt. I always knew the box existed, but I had never opened it. My mother would often say, Oh, those letters are from Lowell during the war. They are so sad. Well, who would want to read anything that was sad? So, the story of Lowell Read and the true love that he had for my great aunt stayed packed away in a box for 65 years.
