Review:
"I think Sea Change is a magnificent addition to the literature of small-boating adventuring."--Jonathan Raban, author of Badlands
"Sea Change is many things: adventure tale, sailing memoir, confession. What holds it together is the author's fine ear for language and rhythms of the sea."--The Seattle Times

I'm the editor and would love to chat with readers
If you're a fan of this book, or haven't read it but are a sailor, or an adventurer, or a veteran of the ebbs and flows of love--take a look at Sea Change and let me know what you think. This was an incredibly rewarding book to edit because Peter is such an amazing writer and we really shared the same vision for the book. It's such an intense experience to work on a book like this, yet I only get feedback from my friends and family (and you know what they think). I've always enjoyed and learned from talking to readers at book signings, so if you have comments or questions I'd like to chat with you.
