About the Author:

Historian and writer Margaret Thomas Buchholz is the author of New Jersey Shipwrecks: 350 Years in the Graveyard of the Atlantic; Island Album; and editor of Shore Chronicles: Diaries and Travelers' Tales from the Jersey Shore 1764-1955. Her essays about the New Jersey Shore have been included in anthologies and collections. Buchholz was publisher of the Long Beach Island, New Jersey Shore, newspaper The Beachcomber from 1955 to 1987, and is still an editor. She grew up in Harvey Cedars, where her family has been coming since 1833, and currently lives year-round in her childhood home on the Island.

After working in advertising in Japan and Venezuela, Larry Savadove returned to the U.S. and produced documentaries in Hollywood. His credits include episodes of The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau, National Geographic Specials, and the ''In Search of'' and ''On Location With'' series; he won Writer's Guild awards, two Emmy nominations and one nomination for an Oscar. While living in Los Angeles, he co-authored a cookbook, Melting Pot West, and edited An Anthology of Elves. He is the author of the novel The Oyster Singer, loosely set at the Jersey Shore, and his first novel -- The Sound of One Hand (1960) -- was hailed by a reviewer in The New York Times Book Review as ''the best novel about Japan I have ever read....He out-Micheners Michener a hundred-fold.'' A graduate of Harvard College, where he edited the Crimson, Savadove served in the army, heading the Indochina Desk for Military Intelligence during the Vietnam War, from a base in Japan. In 1990, he came back to the shore of his childhood summers -- Long Beach Island, NJ -- managing a miniature golf course and editing the local newspaper for a decade (winning the New Jersey Press Association Journalist of the Year award in 2000). Currently living in Beach Haven, NJ, he is working on two more books, both set at the shore.
