Tom Cunliffe is the author of the new novel Hurricane Force, which I read and loved. He has also written 30 sailing nonfiction books and is a lifelong sailor. He lives in England with his wife Ros, sails a Mason 44, and drives a 1949 Mk VI Freestone and Webb Bentley.

We talk about writing fiction vs nonfiction, sailing, navigating by the stars, learning to write without formal study, real and fictional bad guys, islands in the Caribbean, classic sailboats, dealing with storms at sea, writer's block, reading, and more.
