Latest Release
Gulf Coast Buccaneers
Lawrence Mason was bitten by the travel bug in his late teens and with an additional urge to get out from underneath his folks thumb at the failing potato farm in Scotland, he soon realized that if they had one less mouth to feed, that everyone in his family would be better off. Especially when the bottom fell out of the Potato Growing Business, when the Potato Famine hit Europe as hard as it did.
So, he packed a bag and set sail to find “The meaning of life” on his own. He never realized what a wonderful journey it would turn out to become. The list of unusual characters that he’d meet up with along the way would help to formulate a lifetime of memories that would help shape him as a man.
The highlight would be his chance meeting with Captain Winston, a Pirate who was in charge of a ship called The Abigale. Captain Winston quickly took him under his wing, but alas… Lawrence just wasn’t ruthless enough to become a notorious Pirate. It just wasn’t part of his laid-back personality.
But the maternal bond that was made between him and Captain Winston was undeniable, and that held true bringing him all the way to the New World where he applied all the lessons that he learned to formulate a grand life worth mentioning.
Join Lawrence as he set sail on one of life’s grandest adventures.
The writing is extremely creative and full of imagery. I love that the story is short. It swept my mind away from the day to day and kept me engrossed in the story. Honestly I enjoyed it so much I wish it was just a little bit longer as it ended quickly. I also love that I felt like I was stepping back in time into another world. Creative Writing Masterpiece... ~ T.

I love the story telling style of the author. It is like he is sitting across from you and describing the San Francisco and Bay Area artist, music, counter-culture and vibe of that trippy era. Has a very real and authentic immersion of that psychedelic age.
A journey through the groovy period of the San Francisco in 1960s and 1970s. ~ G.P.
Reading this book felt to me like reading a mini version of my fave book On The Road by Jack Kerouac. I teared up in parts and laughed in others!! Well worth the read if you fancy delving into the life of guy who has truly lived!

It convinced me to try it. When everything you hear from your doctor (I had 3 different ones) is like they are reading the same manuscript and offering nothing different… it was time to look for myself!
