Going on the Account: Dancing at the End of a Rope Sooner

The latest off the coast of Somalia:  There may soon be an agreement on holding trials for captured pirates. 
 
This here if implemented will have a far greater impact than all the ships doing interdiction in the Indian Ocean.  Even with vessels from the US, NATO, Russia, China, India and Japan providing protection (which one could consider [...]

Going on the Account: Book Reader’s Oakum

The Washington Post  is folding their stand-alone book review section into other parts of the paper.  Seems we’re all going to have to go to word of mouth from now on, especially as Publishers Row is now realizing that ‘doing it for yourself’ is not anything to look down on…
 
Frankly, with books migrating to an [...]

Going on the Account: Just Now Seeing Shore…

Or, maybe, twice a [...]

Going on the Account: A Year Before the Mast

January 15th:  The first anniversary of RAGING GAIL.  I wish I’d something more profound to offer here, but I spent most of my mojo on my Patrick McGoohan tribute.  Maybe next year…
 
Yes, I said ‘next year’ above.  This novel is only coming to you at 550 words or so per installment, and even at twice [...]

Going on the Account: Sewing Closed the Weighted Hammock

By now, most of you have heard that Patrick McGoohan has passed away.  It may seem strange to note the passing of this actor/director/writer in the midst of a tale about pirates; then again, between the remake of JAMAICA INN, THE PHANTOM and TREASURE PLANET, there’s more than enough justification to be offered here for [...]
