With Look The Other Way now on Amazon for pre-order and being released August 1st, I thought it would be fun to take a look back at my life on Mattina, a Lagoon 380 S2.
Mattina was my muse for writing Look The Other Way. The story takes place on a Lagoon 380, and Shannon, Jake, and Debi sail from Florida to George Town, Bahamas.
Below is a little look into my life on board a sailboat. We lived aboard from 2009 through 2013, so how could not I not turn this into a murder mystery.
You’ll notice Farley has a prime spot on Mattina.
If you like sailing or dream of spending time in the Bahamas, then let Look the Other Way take you there. Pre-order here and Look The Other Way will be delivered to your Kindle August 1st.
Thanks for reading,

Thanks for sharing the story behind the story. Fascinating how real life can inspire fiction… or is it? Guess we have to read the book to find out, right? I did, and I’m not telling. 🙂

Ooh, next time let Zoey and me come along. She’s boat-broken, and I have deckhand experience. I’ll even volunteer to be Harley’s pooper-scooper! 🙂

More dogs are always welcome, but be prepared. Even if the seas are stormy you still have to pee on deck – while you’re wearing a harness, and life jacket, and are tethered to the lifelines.
