The day you have long been awaiting--or more likely not--is finally here. As you can see, after no popular demand whatsoever RETURN TO THE SEA is now available in a Kindle Edition.
I did not do this for the money and will donate the first $100,000 in royalties to charity. Royalties beyond $100,000 I will keep for myself.
Creating the Kindle edition was more tedious and frustrating than I remembered despite Amazon providing some excellent assistance, particularly with an app, Kindle Create. The difficulties came from embedded formatting locked into the scan of the hardcover edition of the book and that the scan itself has significant inaccuracies, among them that it does not capitalize boat names although they are capitalized in the hardcover--and as you would expect there are a lot of boat names--and that it frequently and randomly copied words, letters and punctuation marks in red. I have gone over the scan many times and believe I have eliminated most of the errors, but doubt I have found them all.
Anyway for those of you who prefer as I do to read on a device instead of paper RETURN TO SEA is now device friendly for your enjoyment and edification.
You may have seen that the Venezuelan Little League baseball team, the champions of Latin America, have been denied visas to participate in the Senior Little League World Series.

I expect that most of you reading this are my fellow Americans and we can all sleep better tonight knowing that we are safe from these dangerous thirteen year olds. We are blessed to have a government and a leader who protect us from such dire threats. Truly blessed, but I know not by whom or what.
Probably for the best that the 13-year-olds can’t get visas. If they came and played, our “Dear Leader” would probably have them arrested for stealing a base.
