Charley Soares

[fishbones]

He's a great writer and excellent fisherman. On top of that, he's about as much of a gentleman and class act as you will find anywhere.

Reading Charlie's work is like having him sitting right next to you sipping a cold beer together while recanting his experiences of a lifetime on the ocean.

I have a signed copy of the newer book out, Walking On Water. Also a collection of short stories. We've never met, but I had exchanged a few emails with him and found his responses to be quite honest and sincere, surely worth of the respect shown in this thread so far. He has a knack for putting to words and describing the experiences that shaped his life early on in a way that you're fully captivated. And with every story comes a lesson about life. I also turn to the last page, first, when I receive my OTW each month.

It would be hard to add to all of the accollades aforementioned about Charley. A class guy all around. The new book is excellent.It brings the reader back to a simpler time that is a good "remember when". Seeing life thru the eyes of a kid,the wonder ,the elation,the disappointments.
