The Ballad of Blue Eagle Bill
This epic poem was first written (partially) in the middle of the 1993 commercial fishing season, and finished years later when I started this book project. It was inspired by an event that shall forever been remembered exactly the way it's described in this book - and to be read, tongue-in-cheek. The original back story involved a HUGE fish, and a somewhat flummoxed Captain Bill. That's all I'm going to say. Fully illustrated. You gotta read it! Your kids and grandkids will love it!

Nmp-Chks & Numskuls (a graphic novel)
This is the story mentioned in books one and two of the series "Grampa Was an Alien". Now, sit back and enjoy the tallest tale you’ll ever read, about the craziest fish story Grampa Ethan ever told!
Cappy just wants to go fishing, but a little bit of bad luck in the steering department sends him into the most bizarre world he’s ever seen. Only his deckhand, Fish seems to know a little bit about these strange beings he calls “Nimpchuks”.
Cappy is in for the fishing trip of his life, and he does everything but catch fish! He meets, and goes up against a king, gets accused of breaking the law, escapes a cannery prison, starts a revolution, saves a gazillion fish from a fate worse than … well, death itself, and a whole lot more!
Grampa Ethan thinks these Nimpchuks are aliens from Graalkuzzer called “Nmp-Chks”, and maybe he’s right! Whoever they are, they live somewhere you’ll probably never go to, so don’t worry too much about them … unless of course they decide to migrate south. Then we’re all in trouble!

FISH & CHIPS
In 1992 I agreed to be a deckhand for my husband, a commercial fisherman. I must have been crazy, no?
To keep my sanity I began imagining fish, with lives just like our own. They had homes, families and jobs, using fishers as a handy resource, just like we do them. The boat’s propeller turned into a carnival ride, the fisherman - an ad hoc dentist. Fish went on fishing vessel cruises. Dogfish turned into pets for bratty little fish, and halibut became mobile billboards. Starfish became the stars in their sky. There was even a mermaid.
Who, me? I was just a lowly deckhand.
