ABOUT ME
Larry Dickens grew up in Horseheads, NY and graduated with a B.S. degree from the Massachusetts Maritime Academy. In 2015 he completed a 40-year maritime career where he spent most of his seagoing time aboard liquefied natural gas supertankers operating in the Orient, as well as shoreside as a shipowner's representative in the Middle East and an LNG marine consultant. Prior to retirement, he held an unlimited oceans master's license issued by the USCG.
In addition to writing purposeful children's/YA novels (Forever Ten,
Mrs. McGillacuddy's Garden Party), he writes contemporary sea novels (Tropical Depression, Gone with the Breeze). A long time resident of the Finger Lakes region of New York State, he now lives in the Savannah, Georgia area with his wife, artist Susan Prislopski.
