Third Edition of “Cruiser Friendly Onboard Guide to Alaska’s Inside Passage!”
As most of you know, I wrote the first edition of “The Cruiser Friendly Onboard Guide to Alaska’s Inside Passage” as a challenge from Captain Jean-Marie Guillou. He believed my approach was one-of-a-kind; answering real questions posed by real people on real ships making it really valuable for anyone visiting Alaska. Though the first edition was not very sophisticated, the information was good. It sold out in three months warranting a second edition. The new and improved copy went on sale through my website last spring. I am happy to report, inventory is low and I am ready to print edition three!
The new book will feature a bold new look; new cover design and graphics, new maps and new chapters. Among the new chapters is one written by Executive Chef Mike Roemhild; in it he will share not only his favorite recipes featuring “the tastes of Alaska” but also anecdotal stories of being a chef at sea.
As promised, “The Cruiser Friendly Onboard Guide to Alaska’s Inside Passage” is the first in a series. During my last contract I gathered the final bit of field data and statistics for the completion of the next two books; Panama Canal and the Amazon. I am anxious to get them into the hands of cruisers as the Canal is the second most popular cruise (Alaska is the first in terms of arrivals) and the Amazon is fast becoming one of the most requested. I also have a children’s book entitled, “Time to say Goodnight” and my own memoirs, “Breen there, done that!” If anyone knows of a publisher looking for unfulfilled niche in the cruise industry, let me know! Until then, I’ll keep plugging away in order to help all of you get the most information and enjoyment out of your cruise.
