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.
