I’m just finishing up the final edits to the novel “Two If By Sea” to send off to our agent in Chicago, Jonathan Scott Literary Agency. This writing project was a lot of fun and I hope that readers will appreciate the accuracy of the scenes in China, Hawaii and the Cook Islands as well as the characters, many of which are reflections of real people.
In conducting my research on avian influenza I was stunned to learn how great a possibility it is that we will experience a global pandemic and how unprepared much of the world is for such an occurrence. If this novel achieves nothing else, I hope it will alert people to the very real risks that exist and motivate them to contact their local governments to make sure that they have pandemic plans tested and in place.

Hi Alan, I’ve been trying to connect with you for ahile. It’s cool to see you have your own company now. If this is the Alan who went to GP Vanier High School and Lake Trail with me in the Comox Valley then HELLO at last!
