Kate’s 2¢: Stockwin Julian Kydd Sea Adventures
Stockwin Julian Kydd Sea Adventures
Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as, describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read. I’m just saying…
I don’t remember the year I read my first Kydd sea adventure, but I’ve been an avid seafarer ever since. Stockwin’s words make me feel the sea breeze freshening, the briny foam spray in my face, and the fear of a broadside cannon barrage.
