Author BiographyGraham Mcglone was born in 1946 at Silvertown in London's war-torn docklands. As a shy and timid boy, he yearned to join the Merchant Navy and travel the world. In 1963, aged just 17 years old, he began a sea-going career that would span some 44 years from deck boy to captain. Graham is now retired and lives near Folkestone, Kent. This is his first published book. His second book, the novel Exchanging Islands will be published shortly.
