Return to Cayman release party complete success!

June 8, 2015 By Eric Douglas

groupThere’s no better place in the world than Sunset House and My Bar to have a release party / book signing for the novel Return to Cayman, considering that quite a bit of the book takes place in those two locations. The response to the book, on island, has been very positive.

with carlAs part of the week-long celebration, I went diving with Sunset Divers and Off The Wall Divers and my friend Thomas Shropshire. I would whole-heartedly recommend either operation if you’re looking for someone to dive with. Sunset Divers is fall-in-the-water easy and Off The Wall is a small operation that makes you feel like a spoiled member of the family.

with Joey AvaryI donated 100 percent of the sales on-island to the Cayman Magic Reef Recovery effort and we raised more than $400 US for the project. A portion of all online sales through July 31 will also be donated to the effort so you can still help out by getting copy of Return to Cayman today!

on camera Cayman 27 also came to the signing and interviewed me on the water front. You can watch the story  here. on camera 2

 

 

 

 

 

Here is a quick raw video clip of signing books. Many thanks to my wife Beverly Douglas for taking the photos and videos.

Sunlight Prints

Cyanotype printing, also known as Sunlight Prints, is an antique photo printing technique, first used around 1842. Cyanotypes are made by mixing two chemicals (ammonium iron citrate and potassium ferricyanide) and treating paper, cloth or canvas, making it sensitive to ultraviolet light.

The same process is used to create “blue prints” of … Read more
