The Crooked Albatross and Sweet Fanny Adams - Softcover

"When a Vancouver timber cruiser signs on for a treasure hunt for the long-lost 'Loot of Lima', he finds more heartbreak, hilarity, danger, disaster and insanity aboard the tuna clipper Sweet Fanny Adams than he's ever seen in the forests of British Columbia. Part modern pirate adventure, part evocation of a much-loved country, part love story, The Crooked Albatross and Sweet Fanny Adams throws an improbable mix of human beings into the backwaters of Costa Rica, and tracks their shenanigans in a tale you won't forget."--Katie McCabe, author of Justice Older than the Law

He currently lives in Vancouver and when he's not writing, he builds Art Nouveau furniture, and is developing an electric tricycle.Holy cow! Is he still here?
