About the Author: Paul Boardman
Born and raised in Canada I have always been drawn To the warmer climes of the southern United States and the Caribbean. Although most of my life has related to various aspects of real estate, my preferred means of travel has been by boat. Call it "escape" but it has served me well in confronting unusual people and situations.

Author of three novels, my choice of reading (and therefore writing) has been to "escape" the confines of reality and connive characters and situations that intrigue the reader into turning the next page.
A novel based on the history of Topsail Island, NC, beginning with the final days of piracy in the era dominated by the infamous Blackbeard. The story winds its way through a suspicious search for Blackbeard's treasure in The Dirty Thirties, the subsequent use of the island as a US Military Rocket Testing Facility after World War 2, through the tourism boom in the 1990's, the real estate crash of 2008 and culminating in the island's subsequent recovery.

When the bottom fell out of the market, facing bankruptcy, he devised an audacious plan to save his subdivision. Unfortunately his adversary was desperately awaiting Forbes' failure.
