I fulfilled a long time ambition by completing my first book, Cold Water Crossing, in 2009. It's a non fiction account of a crime that took place in 1873 off the New England coast. This was a story that intrigued me for years after I first heard it. Not only was it unusual, but there's a strong element of eerieness that hovers about it. Research, editing and rewriting took three years but provided, not only enjoyment but the sense of discovering new angles connected to the story. I'm still discovering them. Cold Water Crossing is available on Amazon in soft cover or as a Kindle edition and soon in some bookstores in Maine and New Hampshire. if you read it and become as intrigued as I was, I would like to hear from you. Currently, I am working on completing a full length novel focusing on an odyssey in the Amazon rain forest. I retired from a career in finance in 2007. My wife, Linda, and I live in Glastonbury, CT. In addition to writing I enjoy, golf, chess, reading and home improvement projects.   Thanks for your interest. David Faxon dfax1@att.net
