Your writing is beautiful and very real. I like how young Joe's last name is "Hornblower." My husband's a fan of an old, seafaring novel, "Horatio Hornblower" ⛵ I love your drawing style, too.

Thanks for your feedback, Jeannine! Joe is a fictional character, but Hornblower was the name of a real ship captain, that's why I picked it :-)

Michael, your writing is strong and enticing, and so are your sketches. You're a Renaissance man!

Haha, thanks, Portia. This project's a bit outside my usual lane, but I figure it's good to push yourself now and then. Really appreciate your support!

Two chapters in and I am already loving this story. Great work Michael!

And of course now I am intrigued as to how the two of them shall come together in the end...
