The west coast of the Pacific is my home, my inspiration and my heart, so it’s no accident that many of my books are set here.

We haven’t always been the best of stewards for earth or for her oceans. That can and must change. This earth is ours to love and live on and to cherish, including her oceans. Happy World Oceans Day.

Now is the time to let every day be a World Oceans Day and to let every day be Earth Day.
