WRITING IS FUN

Ted Polet

INTRO

Several years ago I began writing adventure novels and thrillers, in which seafaring and sailing are an important theme. I had a love-hate relationship with the sea for much of my life, and after all, the sea is one of our last frontiers, where you cannot predict what will happen next. My social involvement is at least as important, this being apparent in my books won't come as a surprise.

I use this website, my author's blog and my Youtube movie channel as a publicity medium for my authorship, social engagement and other activities.
