George L. Babec currently lives in Knoxville, Tennessee. He enjoys living in the mountains but has fond memories of life by the sea. He enjoyed watching tall sailing ships enter the port of Norfolk, Virginia for Operation Sail and meeting the crews from around the world. George occasionally adorns his pirate costume to attend renaissance festivals for pirate week. His love for tall sailing ships and the renaissance era provided inspiration in the writing of Voncara Cove.
