Mixed with salt water, life’s pieces often fit together in ways you don’t expect. And there lies the magic. Drawn from a life beside, on and under the sea, these twelve stories tell of a place you know, and places, people and goose-pimpling moments you might not. Young love on summer’s shore, wily white sharks, puzzles of horseshoe crab bits, silty boots in viscous deeps, a salty corpse laid twice to rest. Stories of humor and humanity, of enchantment and love, of miracle and mystery and inspiration, of heartbreaking loss and full-throated joy. Once the ocean casts its spell, you never recover. It is the happiest ruin.

Ken McAlpine is the author of nine books; fiction, non-fiction and selected essays. His books and magazine articles have received numerous awards. Of his novel "Together We Jump," USA Today said, “There’s a beautiful Forrest Gump feel to this book. The main character was a delight and I just loved his sad, wistful, wonderful tale.” His non-fiction work "Off Season: Discovering America on Winter's Shore" was a Barnes and Noble Discover Great New Writers selection. Ken’s magazine articles have earned three Lowell Thomas awards, travel writing's top award. More important to him, assignments from magazines ranging from National Geographic Traveler to Sunset, have provided him unbridled opportunity for play: from diving with white sharks, to running the Inca trail to Machu Picchu, to sparring with the world shoot fighting champion (you cannot learn a martial art in a week). Most important, Ken lives in Ventura, California with his wife and their two sons. He likes to stand in his yard at night looking at the stars, but he does not like to spend any time during the day doing yard work.
