About the Author

Evert Termeer is a retired beekeeper and dairy farmer, turned storyteller. For many years he and his wife Dien, spent their summers in Finch, Ontario, Canada and winters sailing in the Bahamas. Sadly, his wife passed away several years ago; but Evert continues with their way of life. An avid scuba diver as well, their adventures and friendships both on the sea, and under the sea, resulted in many stories to tell. Writing has always been part of his life; but, this is his first published story and evolved from a letter he wrote to his grandchildren. Ashley Smith has been sketching and painting with acrylics and watercolours her whole life. Being very creative, she took an avid interest in producing the watercolour illustrations for this book. Ashley Smith lives in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada and this is her first published work.
