Thursday 7th April 2016. Hobart to Bruny Island.
We spent most of the day running around town completing all the last minute jobs and buying all the ‘absolute essentials’ that were hitherto unthought of. Even when you’re convinced you have thought of everything and there isn’t a single further thing that needs doing a boat always seems to have an uncanny ability to find you a job; a final quick check over all of the electrical systems onboard the previous night threw us into a panic on discovering a non-functioning masthead light. Having recently been drilling holes in the mast for a new trysail track I was convinced I must have severed the mast cable which would have been a massive headache on departure day! Luckily it turned out to be a simple blown bulb and so first thing I was out buying a new bulb and then up the mast to complete the job.

We eventually cast off at 6 pm after a couple of last minute nerve calmers at the club bar before the final off. We sounded our airhorn goodbye as we left our little berth for the last time and motored out of the calm waters of the marina and into a gentle NW evening breeze on the Derwent River. Our fellow live-aboard friends, Tom and Christine, heard our final farewell horn and made a sprint to the end of the breakwater wall for a heart-warming goodbye as we hoisted the main and sailed off into the dusk.

The sun quickly set and with the overcast evening it was suddenly very dark as we sailed gently south towards Bruny Island. The city lights and the silhouetted outline of Mt Wellington made a beautiful farewell sight as we sailed quickly away from our beloved Hobart. The breeze soon dropped out and we were left drifting mid-river. We watched the lights of a large cruise ship disappear into the distance as it turned south-east out into Storm bay and thought it an appropriate moment to pop a bottle of bubbly that our crew, Lisa, had kindly brought along to celebrate our long-awaited departure. As we sat sipping Champagne and nibbling cheese and apple aboard our little ship we wondered at who was having the grander time; us sea vagabonds or all those paying passengers on the luxury liner? After a couple of hours we finally dropped anchor in amongst a handful of other moored boats in Quarentine bay on the North Island of Bruny and fell into bed exhausted. It was certainly a pretty good start to the trip!

SOMETIMES GROWING UP MEANS FACING YOUR DEMONS
The son of a struggling single mother, Jamie Conklin just wants an ordinary childhood. But Jamie is no ordinary child. Born with an unnatural ability his mom urges him to keep secret, Jamie can see what no one else can see and learn what no one else can learn. But the cost of using this ability is higher than Jamie can imagine—as he discovers when an NYPD detective draws him into the pursuit of a killer who has threatened to strike from beyond the grave.
LATER is the third book Stephen King has written for Hard Case Crime. Both of the previous two, THE COLORADO KID and JOYLAND, were New York Times bestsellers.
Stephen King commented, “I love the Hard Case format, and this story—combining a boy who sees beyond our world and strong elements of crime and suspense—seemed a perfect fit.”
“LATER is a beautiful story about growing up and facing your demons -- whether they’re metaphorical or (as sometimes happens when you’re in a Stephen King novel) the real thing,” said Charles Ardai, the Edgar Award-winning editor of Hard Case Crime. “It’s terrifying, tender, heartbreaking and honest, and we’re so excited to bring it to readers.”
LATER will be published initially as a paperback original, featuring an original cover painting by Paul Mann. This edition will be followed by a limited-edition hardcover that will feature two new cover paintings by award-winning artist Gregory Manchess, one for LATER itself and one for a fictitious novel within the novel that features prominently in the plot. An ebook edition of LATER will also be available.
