~ Julian Stockwin ~
sea writer
Welcome to my Web Site...
Join me in a celebration
of the sea past and present and man's special relationship with this oceanic world. When I decided to write there could only be one subject - the sea. And the period that most drew me was the Great Age of Fighting Sail!
This was the time when man still had to woo the sea, before the brute force of steam had come on the scene. Thus was born the Thomas Kydd series, the story of one man's journey from pressed man to admiral, a projected 20 or so volumes, with a new title out each October. This year as well I have written a maritime miscellany.
And please accept my personal invitation to receive the Bosun's Chronicle - a free monthly newsletter with all the latest about my books - plus contests, nauticalia and fascinating sea lore. (We will not share your email address with any other party)
