A Tugboater's Life

Curt Steiner has served twelve years as a Boatswain's Mate in the Coast Guard, but it is time to move on. He is still deciding on the where and how to move on when he runs into his high school sweetheart, Lois, at a party during a visit home to Michigan. What Curt does not know is that Lois still holds a torch for him, and their meeting at the party is not by chance. When Curt meets Lois's son, Steve, he is even more convinced that it is time to become a family of three. In doing so, Curt and Lois will enter the tug boating life, with its long days and nights, and even longer stretches of absences. It is the kind of life that will knock most any young couple off their feet. It stands to be seen if Curt and Lois will become a casualty of the tug boating life or whether they can weather the storms together.

Told in the words of Curt, A Tugboater's Life delves into the lives of working men and women in an industry most people know nothing about. These are real people, leading normal but exciting lives. No billionaires or supermodels need apply for these jobs, but the reader will be rooting for them, crying with them, and come to understand that many of the normal people who surround us can be leading happy and sexually fulfilled lives.
