lease feel free to contact me – I'd love to hear you enjoyed the books, and which parts (or which characters) particularly appealed. My working mornings are usually devoted to writing; in the afternoon it’s research and the early evening attending to e-mails and letters. I do answer all these personally and it gives me great pleasure to hear from readers.

Requests for additional entries in the glossary are welcome – is there a word or phrase you’d like included in the glossary, or a sea-related website you've come across that would be an interesting addition to the Links page? However, please note that for obvious reasons I cannot accept or open attachments other than .jpg and other pictures!
