Sort of chilly our there lately, but it's bound to warm up sooner or later. Still wrestling with the title for the new book--AS DEEP AS THE OCEAN, ALL THE OCEAN, PELAGIC--these are the three that I've narrowed it down to. Could really use some help in deciding. please send ideas to my facebook page, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

            POEM

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is a society where none intrudes,
By the deep sea and the music in its roar.

I love not man less,
But nature more.

--Lord Byron

In the story Callie (main character) is pained by the changes brought about by progress on Topsail Island. Then there are other changes in her life beyond her control with which she must contend, and choices she must make--the only constant in her life has been the ocean.

WRITING TIP: To write, you must use everything--all of you.
