He co-edited the satiric transgressive fiction collection D*CKED: DARK FICTION INSPIRED BY DICK CHENEY and his debut novel KOKO TAKES A HOLIDAY is out now from Titan Books.

Chesapeake: Summer

Even with less than 5 knot winds, the Chesapeake can still kick your butt with images like this. Dawn. Thomas Point Light. Slow doldrums are good for cooler scouring, reading, notes, and half gainers. Today, the first day of August, Lúnasa. Driftday, Saturday. Anchor or raft up, combine a good jig of white rum, half the juice of a lime, and some Goya coconut water. Shake with intensity and serve over crushed ice. Simple.
