Alton Fletcher enjoys sailing almost as much as he enjoys writing and sometimes wishes he could do both at once. He became enamored with the sea, sailing ships, and books upon his first reading of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island as a boy. For the past twenty years, after retiring as an officer in the U.S. Coast Guard, he has made Virginia his home, where he continues to sail and write to his heart's content.
Find The Wind's Eye is his first novel, available wherever fine books are sold.

In 1854 Boston, Third Lieutenant Andrew Gunn resists the President's order to extradite a fugitive slave from Boston to Norfolk aboard his ship, the Revenue Cutter Morris. Though sworn to uphold the law, Gunn believes the lawful order to be immoral and unjust. He suffers the hazards of hard choices that threaten his own life, liberty, and happiness.
Based on actual events, Find the Wind's Eye is a rousing sea story, expertly told in the finest traditions of nautical fiction.
First in the Andrew Gunn series.

'-- Boston Federal Courthouse, June 2, 1854
Outsidethe broken window, the crowd's fury rose to a keen howl as unrelenting as a raging storm at sea. The people wanted more blood, no mistake, unless justice should prevail. Nothing else would satisfy. Third Lieutenant Andrew Gunn had never seen the like. Truth be told, he found it hard to blame them, though in part it was his blood they demanded.
