***LATEST BOOK RELEASE***

Luff Out Loud is the first sailing comic book from Sarah Steenland, capturing the hilariously funny and ridiculously absurd situations that sailors tend to find themselves in.

If the saying is true and "a bad day sailing is 100 times better than a good day at work", then reading a comic book about the highs and lows of sailing life while you’re on a boat must be 10,000 times better than anything, ever.

Mary Katherine Deano, is a feisty, determined investigative reporter. However, it is a personal tragedy, the mysterious disappearance of her twin that brings her to the islands. 


Thrown together when Carter fishes Kat from the ocean at night far from land, the lives of these two very different people become increasingly entangled as they survive the ocean’s dangers and navigate threats from unexpected sources.
