Author: Capt. Norbert Rebello
Genre: Poetry
Capt. Rebello has been writing since his school-days, and happens to be the nephew of the pioneers who ran the Konkani weekly 'Cine Times' in Bombay. His earlier novel Memories of Another Day, published in 2008, is set in Eastern Europe, after the 1999 sinking of an oil tanker off the Atlantic coast and the Bay of Biscay in France, causing an economic loss of $500 million. The fleet owner abandoned three other vessels with hundreds of seafarers on board in Montenegro. His next book, now being worked on, is set amidst seamen, and is to be called 'Cruise the Horizon' about the hardships faced in a supposedly cheerful cruise line industry.
