Featured Author

Each month I provide a short bio of one of the authors on the site. This month we will look at M. Kei

M. Kei

M. Kei is a tall ship sailor and award-winning poet. He lives on the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay and apprenticed aboard a skipjack, a sail-powered oyster dredge. He now serves with a fully rigged ship. His publications include over 1200 tanka poems in six languages and ten countries. He is also the author of Slow Motion : The Log of a Chesapeake Bay Skipjack, a log he kept in verse form of several extended trips aboard a skipjack.
He brings his experience crewing on board wooden sailing vessels to a swashbuckling HNF series, Pirates of the Narrow Seas, set in the 18th century Royal Navy with a gay hero Lt. Peter Thorton and the corsair fleet of the Sallee Rovers.
