Requirements: .ePUB reader, 7.4 MB
Overview: I’ve had a varied career. Educated as a chemical engineer, I spent time in the Navy, got an MBA, and then founded an investment firm. All that was mostly right-brain oriented. However, I’ve always enjoyed using my left-brain, which I do now as I bring characters and worlds to life on a daily basis. I live in the Puget Sound area with my wife and Vizsla Ruby. Besides writing, I fish, hike, and travel.

Magellan’s Navigator
Francisco Albo, a crafty Greek with aspirations of great wealth, sails from Spain as first mate on Magellan’s flagship. With his five-ship armada, Magellan hopes to discover a westward route to the rich Spice Islands of the East Indies and hence succeed where Columbus failed. A seasoned mariner, Albo signs on expecting possible shipwreck, storms, and even scurvy. What he doesn’t anticipate are treacherous rajahs, Magellan’s religious fervor, and mutiny. When they enter the Pacific Ocean, Magellan promotes Albo to navigator. Upon reaching the Philippines, Magellan dies in a senseless battle and a rajah murders most the fleet’s officers. Albo then reaches an uneasy alliance with a surviving mutineer and pilots the sole remaining ship half way around the world back to Spain
The King’s Galley
Sail long enough on the Mediterranean, and one of its dangers will ensnare you.
Francisco Albo piloted the first ship to circumnavigate the world, but he gets no great reward after his return to Seville. Instead, he’s forced to flee the wrath of the ruthless Archbishop Fonseca and return to sailing the Mediterranean once more.
Albo becomes master and pilot, but not commander, of a Spanish galley. If he’s successful the reward is high: prize money from captured ships. However, the infamous Barbary pirate Barbarossa considers the Mediterranean his own playground.
Albo’s captain’s intense hatred of Barbarossa puts all of his sailors at risk…and there are other problems. Can Albo survive the ever dangerous sea, evade the complications brought on by a beautiful countess, and a dangerous man from his past?
