Michael Hicks Thompson
Birthed in his mother's own bed, Michael Thompson's family lived so far out on a farm in the woop woop, hospitals weren't an option.
Being raised in such a small Mississippi town (pop 210), Michael claims to know a thing or two about strong southern women, alcoholic men, and quirky characters.

When I was 10 years old, my family moved to the Gulf Coast of Florida and built a waterfront home. They bought a chandlery and started a yacht charter and sales business. Behind our house was a dock and a boat. In my adolescence, I spent a lot of time on the water and camping on islands. I read the sea-stories of Slocum and Dana, Nordhoff and Lansing, Conrad and O’Brian. I studied charts and dreamed of sailing around the world.

Ross Leondiou
Hi, I'm [Ross Leondiou] — a storyteller with one foot in the past and the other firmly planted in a fish shop. I write about the grit, humour, and heart of growing up in Australia, where steel factories and deep fryers were as much a part of life as family and friendship.
