Written between 1994 and 2009, is a memoir of global travel and an unfulfilled college crush. The book follows the narrator out of school and across the Pacific. At only 23 he has command of a 68-foot Burmese-teak ketch built in Scotland thrust upon him. The owner is on a voyage home to his death, and along the way they hire sailors twice the skipper's age. They makes it to New Zealand in a storm which sinks seven yachts, then spends months shearing sheep and writing a memoir. By the time the narrator makes a rendezvous with his college sweetheart (who has been teaching Thai students on the Burmese border), she seems to have all but forgotten him. This leads to a less than satisfactory denouement and puts at least one of them in the hospital. The book includes extensive photographs and hand-drawn charts and a detailed bibliography.

Mickey Mantle, the hayseed kid from Spavinaw, Oklahoma, was in his sixth year with the Yankees. He was already America's homerun king. He was about to become a national hero. 1956 would be a record-breaking season: the golden summer fans would remember forever. Now Mickey Mantle brings it all back just the way it happened--spectacular playing on field, crazy hijinks with Whitey Ford and Billy Martin off. There never was a time like it before in baseball. There never will be again. It was magic.

Juvenilia is a compendium of four booklets written between 1987 and 2003. Overall the author has travelled to over 70 countries and island groups, sailed over 75,000 miles (the equivalent of three times around the globe at the equator), and innumerable miles overland, by train, ferry, and plane during four round-the world trips and three years in Asia. The essays are accompanied by extensive hand-made maps of Scandinavia, the UK, oceans, etc. Travel Writing depicts a terrifying seven-week voyage across the Atlantic, an adventurous six-month first-command across the South Pacific, a young man straight from university in the UK hitch-hiking alone through East Africa on a budget of $10 a day, and a more light-hearted rendition of a five-week round-the-world trip. Includes stories of storms, knife and shark attacks, robberies, car and boat wrecks. Juvenilia is by definition a retrospective of someone’s early work, to discern direction. This writing is meant to show the author’s development, if any, over time. The three booklets composed from ages 17-19 are experimental in nature. Written by a teen, the contents may also appeal to teens.Umbrae Papilionis means Shadows of Butterflies. The author was not good at spring sports (he damaged sailboats and lost tennis matches) so he took advantage of St. George’s School’s little-known policy to produce a collection of his writing instead. He spent hours ‘musing’ on the beach.Z. (for Zarathustra) derives from his study of Persian and non-Judeo-Christian religions and philosophy. Shorts reflects a Beatnik bent, as the author found himself set free to travel from university in Boston.

When Mitchell McDeere qualified third in his class at Harvard, offers poured in from every law firm in America. The firm he chose was small, but-well respected. They were prepared to match, and then exceed Mitch's wildest dreams: eighty thousand a year, a BMW and a low-interest mortgage. Now the house, the car and the job are his. Then the nightmares begin: the secret files, the bugs in the new bedroom, the mysterious deaths of colleagues, and the millions of dollars of mob money pouring through the office into the Cayman Islands, dollars that the FBI would do anything to trace. Now Mitch is in the place where dreams end and nightmares begin...
