The most asked question about a novel, Where
did the author get the idea for the story?
The idea for The Captain's
Fund came about on April 26, 1998 while I vacationed on The Friendly Island of St. Maarten. Sometime during the first
night of my stay, a boat appeared in Simpson Bay. It stayed 50 feet off shore for 11 days. No one went near it.
Then, on the 11th day, two tanned young men in skimpy bathing suits dove into the water, swam to the boat and sped away.
What a mystery!!!

"The Inn" is loosely based on The Horny Toad Guesthouse, Simpson Bay,
St. Maarten. Betty and Earle are the owners. My husband and I have stayed at "The Toad" on many occasions
and it just gets better each time. Our first trip happened when I won the bid for a Super Board item on the New Hampshire
Public TV Auction. After I took the confirming call and paid the bill, I remember turning to my husband and asking "OK.
Where is it?" We turned to the Internet to answer our question
