Description

This group of assembled scribes, poets and storytellers aspires to one goal and one goal only; to entertain the reader. Most have been working hard at achieving the summit of worldly acclaim for decades. I asked each of them to contribute one or more penned pieces of prose at various times and, one by one, they agreed without any threats of undue duress. The youngest to join the group, at least he was younger than the rest, was Lenny Rudow. Lenny, while a student at St. Mary's College of Maryland, decided to enter our Fish Story contest, and in 1988, he won, opening up a long stint at THE CHESAPEAKE and leading to a career as a professional outdoor life writer. That was thirty years ago.As for the oldest in the crowd, the first one to claim it, gets the nod.Jack Rue, Beth & Fred McCoy, John Peterson, Vi Englund, Pepper Langley, Capt. Joe Lore, Mel Brokenshire, Mark Robbins, Alan Brylawski and Patty Muchow have now been elevated to new roles past the Pearly Gates where they undoubtedly hold court with a Heavenly audience. Their articles appeared in THE SOLOMONS ISLANDER, THE BLUE CRAB, and THE CHESAPEAKE, and won critical acclaim from those that really count in life - our dear readers. Added to the Dead Poets Society are the living incarnations of Mark Twain and Agatha Christie who populate our pages: Joyce Bennett, Carlleen Cairns, Gail Whitney, Captain Larry Jarboe, Tim Flaherty, Stephen Gore Uhler, David B. Wright, Tony Marconi, and Alan Cecil.Thanks for reading and all THE CHESAPEAKE series are available in Kindle, paperback & Audible formats. - Ken Rossignol

As a maritime history speaker, Rossignol enjoys meeting audiences around the world and discussing the original news stories of the sinking of the RMS Titanic and other maritime history topics. Traveling the high seas around the world is the way that the author keeps in touch with the adventures of the Sea Empress and keeps the voyages interesting and the stories coming. In recent years Rossignol has appeared on dozens ships in the Pacific, Atlantic, Mediterranean and Caribbean discussing the stories of the history of the Panama Canal, the heroes of the Titanic, the explorations of the new world voyagers, the Bermuda Triangle and the history of piracy, among other maritime history topics. Rossignol appears at the Titanic Museum Attractions in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee and Branson, Missouri for book signings and to talk with visitors about the RMS Titanic. With a recent visit to the International Book Fair 2016 in Panama as one of the United States Delegation authors and entertainers Rossignol enjoyed telling the stories of the History of the Panama Canal, Piracy and of the heroes of the Titanic. He has appeared on Good Morning America, ABC 20/20; ABC World News Tonight and in a 2012 production of Discovery Channel Investigation Motives & Murders Series, A Body in the Bay. Rossignol's landmark First Amendment case, represented by Levine Sullivan Koch & Schulz re: United States Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals Rossignol v Voorhaar, 2003, spelled out that public officials cannot retaliate against a publisher for criticism of their official acts.
