This past Saturday, my fellow author friend, Karen Grunst and I shared a booth at a book fair. We arrived around 8:30 to setup a tent, tables, and books.

My husband, Robert, has an eclectic taste in music: from Mongolian throat singing, sea shanties, and bard core. A few years ago, he discovered the UK band, The Longest John’s, after their rendition of the classic sea shanty song, “The Wellerman” captured millions of views. Robert even joined their Wellerman community project, recording himself singing the song and submitting his …
