By the time winter really settles in around these parts I am usually reading constantly with no break between books and often reading two or more at a time. No, I did remember that is the Monty list, but I thought I would share a newly discovered (for me of course) author that some of you might find interesting. His name is Paul Garrison. An easy name to remember as it is the same as a bass player I occasionally play with. Anyway, Mr. Garrison writes what some folks might refer to as novels. I read novels, I read stories. I just don't happen to care if it is fictional or real. A good story is a good story. ~:0) Mr. Garrison writes about action, people, people in peril, mainly adventure, often with some regular dude saving the world....usually way out there adventure. But what is best about this particular author is that he is a sailor.....a real knowledgeable chap. I have read (I think) four of his books so far this winter and they all take place on the water. Tones of sailing in all conditions in many different styles of boats. Accurate and precise. A great combination to my readers mind. Winter.....reading.....reading about sailing.....usually in warm places and lots of action and adventure. Although I hate to admit publicly I have read Clive Cussler.....much like his books without the never aging almost super hero status of his two perpetual characters. If you are interested.
