I really enjoyed writing the four-book science fiction series, about a small group of people that pioneered commercial space travel out of the solar system. The main characters were regular folks, that happened to get involved in tough situations. It was hard when some died along the way, they had become good friends.

My military training, working on our nation’s nuclear weapons and later, studies in the field of mathematics aided my scifi writing. The military acquainted me with discipline and certain technical realities. School lets the mind wandered freely beyond the possible.

The Inland Voyager's Handbook is a work that took ten years to write and twenty-five years to acquire the knowledge. I hope it passes along, to those new to boating, some of the shortcuts and solutions, that my wife and I worked out over the years. Even an old ‘able body seaman’ may pick up a tip or two.

The next book coming out tells the story of a young man, a boy really, that goes in search of Blackbeard’s Treasure. Sailing in a periaguas, a large Carib Indian influenced canoe, they venture forth in the Caribbean and along the coast of the American colonies. Encountering more than their fair share of troubles.

After gathering a graduate degree in business, I was lucky enough to have some success in the world of finance and investing. Thirteen years of the corporate life was enough for me, so I retired at forty-five and went sailing. Life aboard a small boat is mostly very soothing and placid, until those few times when it's chaos. The long periods of calm allowed me to focus on investing and over time bore substantial rewards. The series of Micro-Books, are very quick reads, fifteen to thirty pages of ideas distilled from my experiences with investments. Written for new comers to the world of investments, devoid of the gobbled gook of financial speak. The ideas are plainly worded and often punctuated by lighthearted graphics to make important points. Many have found them a useful tool to add to their investing quiver.

A lively blog at www.dannyldavis.com explores a wide range of topics but always returns to thoughts related to retirement life, government and the sea. There is also a pictorial presentation of boats and other things of beauty and wonder at Pinterest Danny L. Davis. You're welcome to visit and see if you find something of interest.

Good ones make me smile.

Bad ones make me ponder.

Those without a guile,

make me wonder why you'd bother.
