 I took time off last year to sail the Atlantic, and if I got more opportunities for blue-water cruising I might take them.

 I volunteered for this life, wanted it and am not going to bitch about it now that I've got it.

 I'd like to cut it down to three books in two years instead of two a year - but whether that'll happen I don't know.

 I'm a success inasmuch that I enjoy my life, which is an enormous blessing and that doesn't depend on commercial success (though I wouldn't be such a fool as to deny that it helps).

 I'm fortunate that the books sell, but even more fortunate to live in Chatham, to be very happily married and to have, on the whole, a fairly clear conscience.

 In the end their appeal is not necessarily the history, but the quality of the story-telling, and a good story transcends national boundaries.

 It just so happens that I write books, and I'm amazingly lucky that the books sell well all across the world, but even the biggest financial success will not compensate for an ill-lived life.

 It's better than 9 to 5 because I'm my own boss so I can take off when I want to, and the dress code is non-existent and the commute is terrific.

 It's fun. I sit down every day and tell stories. Some folk would kill to get that chance.

 Judy couldn't move to Britain for family reasons, so I had to come to the States, and the U.S. government wouldn't give me a Green Card, so I airily told her I'd write a book.

 Looking back, of course, it was irresponsible, mad, forlorn, idiotic, but if you don't take chances then you'll never have a winning hand, and I've no regrets.

 Mind you, even in places where I'm much better known, I walk in anonymity, mainly because folks know authors' names, but not their faces.

 Not sure what I'd so with a notebook other than swat flies. If I want a break I'd rather go down to Stage Harbor and talk boats.

 Of course some days are easier than others, but my worst day is better than being in most humdrum occupations.

 One book at a time... though I'm usually doing the research for others while I'm writing, but that sort of research is fairly desultory and I like to stick to the book being written - and writing a book concentrates the mind so the research is more productive.
