Dr. Ellen Prager and Dave Jones made Cape St. Claire their new home a year ago. Ellen, a marine scientist and author, and Dave, a weather industry veteran, have collaborated on a new book, Megaladons, Mermaids and Climate Change due out this Fall. I spoke with them in their garden here in the Cape.
You can pre-order their new book HERE or find it at your favorite local book store!
