What happens when history, danger, and the open sea collide?

In this episode, I'm joined by career merchant mariner and award-winning writer Bill C. Wilson to discuss his debut novel, Course Over Ground.

Set during the height of the American Civil War, the story unfolds in Mobile, Alabama, where Mobile Bay became a critical hub for blockade running and smuggling.

Drawing from his real-life maritime experience, Bill brings authenticity and intensity to a world filled with risk, survival, and moral complexity. This is a conversation about history, storytelling, and life at sea — both real and imagined.
