A psychological and, at times, poignantly humorous drama set on a U.S. warship in the port city of Yokosuka, Japan, INSIDE THE SKIN is a story about the harsh realities of navy life during the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell era. But it’s more than that — it is also a story about each of us and how we perceive and interpret the world around us. Written with a narrative starkness, the story leaves us with only our own prejudices and stereotypes to draw from and forces us to make assumptions about character and identity, and, in the end, determine not just who did it but if it was even done at all…

The plot continued to turn, and I loved the unexpected ending. Well done! A highly recommended read. – BETHANNEBETH, AMAZON REVIEWER Review Deleted by Amazon

Now that’s better. Gorgeous sky nicely anchored, as it were, by everything beneath it. – My artsy-fartsy comment!

I just looked up artsy fartsy. I’ve always used it as compliment, attributing it to those eccentrics with a deep knowledge/appreciation/talent for art more of the avant guard/indie nature. But I see the internet sees it differently than I.
Please use my definition when considering my regard to you as artsy fartsy…

Thanks, Kurt – I actually did, but I couldn’t ignore the memory of someone saying to me after his twelfth or so beer, “Yer artsy-fartsy!” Cheers!

Dissed by an inebriate, presumably base and uncouth. Now that’s intellectual street cred. You are legit, sir.

I’m happy to hear that. Pretty big shift from the last theme – not nearly as much going on. Still getting used to it but I think I like it, too. Thanks for letting me know, Mel.
