The 100-page collection of travel writing is non-fiction and unuique. There are first-hand narratives of hitchhiking alone through East Africa, of voyages with untested crews across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, of storms, knife and shark attacks, robberies and wrecks. Aside from travel writing, they are fiction. - Juvenilia is by definition a retrospective of someone's early work, to discern not so much quality as direction.

The author of several books about travel and naval history, he grew up in Bahamas and lives with his wife and son in Connecticut
