I am currently working on several books, the working titles of which are: "... with Captain Clumsy." The name came about because I am rather large and spend significant time teaching sailing in small boats.

I believe that putting the onus on the writer rather than the reader will be a better way to go, long term. The project that is making the most progress at present is "Very Basic Cooking with Captain Clumsy." This book is based on teaching my [then] 10 year old son to cook and having him read each of the entries for clarity. I must be doing something right. He just told me he wants to become a chef.

The first chapter is about recognizing what kind of stove you have and how to turn it on safely. The next chapter is about boiling water and what to do with it. I have almost reached the point where the illustrations are needed.
