A story of the coasters, the people of the mid-Atlantic barrier islands- as they evolve from the days of outlaw gunners and commercial fishermen, to the development of the sport-fishing industry. A story of rich and poor- the guides and captains who had the skills that made it possible and the rich who had the money to pay for it- bound together by the legendary Kelly of the island of Bimini.
The last generation of the Odens persevere as they fight and love, kill and die, from the High Atlas mountains of North Africa and the brothels of Casablanca, to the islands of the mid-Atlantic and the southeast coast of the United States, and finally to the halls of Congress and The Supreme Court.
The author grew up in the vicinity of the barrier island town of Ocean City, Maryland, and as a young boy, and then a man, was told by the old timers, the stories of the early evolution of that town, and the evolution of the fishing industry from its very beginnings. As a young man he worked on the beaches of Ocean City as a beach boy, in its bars as a bartender, and worked as a guide on big game fishing boats off Ocean City, Cape Hatteras, Florida and the Bahamas.
He spent two and a half years in Morocco, where he developed a love for the country as it existed in the mid-1950s. Upon his return to this country, he eventually became a lawyer and practiced in his home town. Later he spent nine and a half years as a trial court judge, and most recently has spent over thirteen years as an appellate court judge.
He has used all of his experience to stimulate his imagination to create a work of fiction - a novel that might have happened, sometime, somewhere.
He is married to the love of his life, has three grown children, and two grandchildren.
