Peter Farrell is the author of five novels, four screenplays and various magazine articles. The themes are, invariably, marine related, island connected and with characters of the eccentric flavor. The action? Well, that can get hot. A Vietnam era veteran, the author finished his schooling courtesy of the State of New York University system. He has taught in the public schools, owned a bar, caught fish and delivered more boats throughout the Caribbean and along the East Coast than he cares to count.
