Come and enjoy hors d'oeuvres, meeting the author, visiting, book signing and maybe even a power point presentation by the author. Bring your books to be signed or we will have some on hand for purchase as well. More details to come. About the Author A native of Vermontville, Mich., Jeffrey D. Briggs graduated from Maple Valley High School in 1974. He learned to sail on Thornapple Lake by taking a how-to-sail book and a small boat and pushing out into the lake. Jobs as a carpenter, a carnival barker, delivering sailboats to the Caribbean, and as a deck hand on commercial fishing boats off the West Coast prepared him for a career as a professional journalist and writer. Of course, he also attended Lake Superior State College in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., and the University of Denver to help him better understand the rules of writing: things like dangling modifiers, Oxford commas and character arcs. He has been writing about boats and the waterfront since he moved onto his sailboat over forty years ago. DEADLY TIES is the third book in the Waterfront Mystery series. Book one in the series, OUT Of the Cold Dark Sea, was published in 2019; and book two, WITHIN A SHADOWED FOREST, in 2020. As a journalist, Jeffrey has published over 400 articles in regional and national magazines. A long-time resident of Seattle, Wash., he took a detour in life and moved to Rochester, Minn., where he became a biomedical science writer for Mayo Clinic, and got to preview all his future diseases. He was also able to spend many happy times exploring the North Shore of Lake Superior. When he could no longer see out his office window because of snow drifts, he returned back to the Pacific Northwest, dropping anchor in Richmond Beach, a small community on the shores of Puget Sound. He now lives on land with his wife and dog and can often be found walking the shores of Puget Sound, wondering what secrets lie hidden beneath those cold waters.
