Molly Ann Monahan

The short story about me is…

I consider myself a jane-of-all-trades, Renaissance woman kinda girl. I love exploring the space between opposites, learning something new every day, and sharing what I’ve learned. Philosophizing about the big questions in life is a favorite past-time, and I finally figured out that living life out loud is much better than living it on mute.

Michael J. Tougias

Adventure is the theme that runs through most of my books, from outdoors titles (The Connecticut River from Source to Sea, Exploring the Hidden Charles) to fiction (Until I Have No Country) to nonfiction sea rescues (Overboard! A Storm Too Soon, Rescue of the Bounty).
One of my current adventures is waiting to see if Disney will begin filming a movie-length version of the Coast Guard rescue book The Finest Hours. Another adventure for me is publishing a funny family memoir with my daughter, called The Cringe Chronicles (Mortifying Misadventures with my Dad).
My friends have been asking if I'll write a sequel to There's a Porcupine in my Outhouse (2003 Outdoor Book of the Year) but I think they just want me to revise their characters so they d

Suzanne Heywood

I grew up sailing around the world on a boat. My father set sail from England in 1976 on the Schooner Wavewalker with my brother, mother and me on board for what was supposed to be a three-year voyage but turned out to be a decade-long trip. While this meant that I saw a huge amount of our planet (though generally only the parts that are near sea level), it also meant that I was isolated as a child and struggled to get any formal education. Somehow, I managed to teach myself by correspondence and won a place to study at university. My book "Wavewalker" tells this story. It is both an adventure story and a coming-of-age story in a world that appeared idyllic but in reality was hugely challenging.

After gaining my degree and PhD I worked for a

Liz Clark

I learned to sail at seven years old in San Diego, California on a little red sailing dinghy. At ten, I completed a 5,000-mile, 6-month cruise in Mexico with my family on our sailboat, The Endless Summer, experiencing a different culture, the freedom and beauty of sea travel, and opening my mind to horizons beyond my hometown reality. I credit the origin of my environmental concern to my exposure to the contrasting landscapes of grave pollution and radical natural beauty in Mexico.

Albeit very young, this trip profoundly impacted me. Two things were clear when we returned to San Diego in 1990: I wanted to protect the natural world from human destruction and, one day, I wanted to be the captain of my own sailboat.

At fifteen, my love of the oc

Drew Johnson

Drew Johnson lives in inland Andalucía.

An author, musician and writer of funny poems (if you’re lucky enough to get a birthday card from him), Drew spends most of his time driving his wife, Chris, crazy.

Trying hard to stave off starvation, alcoholism and boredom, Drew writes mostly for pleasure … and the benefit of the Spanish Tax Authorities!

When not writing amusing memoirs of their life in the sun, Drew also writes the odd thriller under the name Andy Hughson, proving that he can be serious when he wants to be.
