This is a mount of the first white shark Greg Skomal saw in the flesh. It was 1983 in Mystic, CT, and last night, Greg and I presented our book CHASING SHADOWS (William Morrow) to a full house at an event hosted by Mystic Aquarium and Living Sharks Museum. Full circle moment!

3 years ago, I published this NatGeo article w/ Rachael Bale, one of my fav editors. I'm still conflicted that this fatal shark attack likely benefitted the sale of CHASING SHADOWS, my new book written with scientist Greg Skomal that came out this month nationalgeographic.com/animals/articl…

63 years ago today, John Brodeur suffered a shark bite off Sea Girt, NJ, which Greg Skomal and I argue in CHASING SHADOWS (William Morrow) was the most consequential shark incident to date in the western North Atlantic insofar as shark science was concerned.
