The Sailing the Mystic Series

Where’d this come from?

When fishing with friends for three days, off the coast of Montague island in remote Alaska, a person has time to let their mind wander. During the 6 hour motor back to the docks, the final day, I found myself listening to the song, “Very Special Love,” by Alabama. I began to think about the two people in that song and created a story in my head about them.

The following week I lay awake each night thinking more and more about those two characters. The story grew, and worried I would soon begin to forget that which I had created in my own head, so I sat down to write.

How?

Each morning I got out of bed between 3 and 4 am to write. Life’s responsibilities forced me to stop at 7 am and head for work each day. Three months later I had completed what I felt was a story worth reading.

You may take something different from it, but I believe I created a story about guilt, fear, redemption, acceptance, hope, and love.

I hope you enjoy it.
