Got my novel, Lobster Wars, published.  Possibility of turning it into a TV series!  Holy sh-t! And now I'm back to the podcast and really looking forward to some fun topics. 

I haven't had much time to post podcasts because I've been busy with the launch of my novel,  Lobster Wars.  It hit #1 best seller on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.Yeah!I wanted to read a few pages.  Hope you enjoy!Lobster Wars is a tight, fast-paced social satire focusing on what happens when reality TV comes to a small fishing village in Maine.  The locals think they're going to get famous and rich.  But it's never that easy. Especially when Connor Nichols, a telegenic outsider, a guy from away, gets a lobster fishing license, buys a boat and horns in on their territory and their shot at fame and fortune.  The TV show airs to great ratings only increasing the pressure, the craziness.  Not to mention what happens when a few unsavory characters see the show and decide to get in on the action.  With filming about to begin, everything now hinges on season two.  But that’s okay, it’s reality TV, what could go wrong? 

This is the first in a series of satirical podcasts where I poke fun at one of the many, many goofy, strange, unfair, or generally stupid aspects of the outdoor world, including all the stuff we buy to improve our relationship with Mother Nature.  So, let's take a look at camouflage. Enjoy!
