Over many decades spent on Tybee Island and other beautiful Georgia barrier islands, the author, a naturalist and Disney-trained animator, pens and illustrates his nature observations on the beaches, in the woods and of the marshes. Taking inspiration from Thoreau, the author's favorite place to commune with nature is right by his own Maudlin Pond.

This is a little book of prayers for children to celebrate and cherish the simple wonders of beaches and islands.

Tybee Island Heroes and Hooligans; The Making of an Island Paradise, Vol. 1

Tybee Island lured an eclectic assortment of visitors even before Gen. James Oglethorpe passed its shore on his way to nearby river bluffs to establish what has become the tourists' mecca of Savannah, Ga.\nNative Indians, drawn to the island to gather sea salt, were succeeded by Spanish conquistadores who crossed the Atlantic in search of treasure and eternal youth only to be driven away by Englishmen seeking freedom from debt and religious persecution.\nMore recent arrivals, including doctors and lawyers, seamen and scallywags, musicians, writers, artists and fishermen, among other heroes and hooligans, came to escape life's tribulations, seek solace at the continent's edge, or simply bask on the beach after partying all night.\nMany remained on what was known for years as the "Redneck Riviera" or "Mayberry by the Sea" because of its informal lifestyle, free-wheeling ways and the absence of casinos, golf courses, and high-rise hotels.\nThis book's author escaped the stress of big city pollution, crime, and corruption by hunkering down on the laid-back island when he retired from a career in journalism more than a quarter century ago.\nHis book is a compilation of newspaper columns based on conversations with some of the island's most colorful and influential characters, the people who helped create what many consider an island paradise.\nIn a typically Tybee, casual beach-reading manner, it introduces newcomers to Tybee's colorful history while triggering fond memories for those who have been around for a lifetime.

Historical

The story of Riley the Right Whale mimics a true story of Snow Cone and her baby calf. Snow Cone gave birth to a male calf while she was entangled in ropes and nets. FWC removed some of the ropes hindering Snow Cone, but they were not able to free her entirely and she was forced to swim and care for her calf while entangled.\nSnow Cone and her baby were sighted near Jacksonville in December of 2021 and on January 13, 2022, she was spotted with her calf off the coast of Flagler Beach where they documented the entanglement. She is not doing well as the rope is embedded in her upper jaw and wrapped around her mouth area.\nNo one has seen Snow Cone since October of 2022. The chances of her survival are not good. This is bad news for our beloved North Atlantic Right Whales, who are literally struggling to survive and fighting for their place in our Oceans. Snow Cone is not alone.
