About the Author: Jon David Hawke was born in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia in 1950, the son of an English father and german mother. At the age of 10, he moved with his family to the French Island of Martinique in the Caribbean. When he was 19, he left Martinique, worked on tramp steamers and banana boats satisfying his wanderlust as he traveled the world. Continuing as a sea-drifter, he frequently the Tropic regions from the Florida Keys and the Bahamas in the north to Trinidad in the south. After studying architecture with a minor in horticulture at the University of Florida, Jon finally settled down in the Bahamas. A self-professed sun-worshipper and beach bum - as long as that shoreline is shaded by tall palms and sea grape and caressed by the gentle waves of a turquoise sea - he has been writing for years, but admits he "never had the GRIT to send anything to a publisher." A confessed lover of the sea and tropics, he now resides on a small islet in the southern Bahamas and he is exceedingly happy with his evolution from a: "SON OF THE OUT-BACK" to a "SON OF THE OUT-ISLANDS!"
