Some call him the wizard of the simple words. "I write books so anyone can read them," says author Steve Kralick who was born and educated in Bethlehem, PA. An alumni member of Moravian College, Lehigh University and an active member of the University of Alabama Alumni Association, he has spent countless years sailing, living and writing published short stories, poerty and island-related material for travel guides. His younger years saw him designing surfboards, racing Formula cars, saltwater fishing while being a licensed ham radio operator for over fifty years. Steve's latest nautical novel, Caribbean Blue, is the finale of the Cole Benton island series capturing the Caribbean's complexity when you are an ex-pat trying to function as a writer with the enduring trials and tribulations of life in one of the most beautiful and exotic places on earth. One source who has seen the manuscript says, "This book is all Steve, warts and all." Readers, stand by!
