Greetings from Down Under Australia!
G'day mate, I have been here with the Koalas and Kangaroos since January 2020 when I sat down to pen my story. Nine months later and my book was published September 2020 and I still have not left the country. Thanks for taking the time to stop by and visit this website.
I am no longer active on Facebook or Instagram. Nor am I on Twitter. Unfortunately my social media accounts were hacked and I have shut down all social media for the time being and I am sorry to have lost all my followers. However, one can join me on goodreads dot com and author updates will continue on that platform. It all works out for the better, no worries, less screen time for my eyes.
*Please kindly note that I will NEVER ask for donations of any kind or endorse any individual, company, corporation or entity. I do NOT solicit, offer employment or paid services of any kind. Any person doing such is doing so without my knowledge, consent or impersonating my identity on social media. I intend to keep my character, conduct and conversation to be one with the utmost integrity. However, I do acknowledge, thank and give credit where and when due. Thank you for taking an interest!
THANK YOU!
A heartfelt THANK YOU for taking the time to stop by and visit my webpage to learn a bit more about me as the artist, sailor, and now author. I am like an onion with endless layers and I am more than just the artist, sailor and author as I have learned that in life at any moment, divine intervention can shift you from waiting on it, to walking in it.
A special shout out and THANK YOU to all fellow worldwide seafarers and crewmates from the cruise industry. Your support is incredibly appreciated as your voices are finally heard with this publication! Get your copy of "The Untold Tales of a Sailor at Sea" today in your country!

Seafarers Keep our Economy Afloat
During such perilous times in our world, The Mission to Seafarers continues to provide help and support to the 1.89 million crewmen and women who face danger every day to keep our global economy afloat. Seafarers are responsible for transporting over 90% of the worlds goods, fuels and including visitors and tourists to the shores of each continent.
Cruises represent one of the main segments of the leisure travel and tourism sector, operating in many regions across the globe, from the Mediterranean Sea to the Pacific Ocean. In 2022, the cruise industry revenue worldwide amounted to nearly 19 billion U.S. dollars, rising significantly compared to the first two years of the global pandemic but remaining below pre-pandemic levels. The United States, with its long coastlines and access to many nearby ports in the tropical Caribbean Sea, is the world’s leader in cruise revenue.
The Mission to Seafarers work tirelessly day and night for 365 days per year, the Mission is on call providing help for seafarers in over 200 ports around the world. Seafarers need our help because they are often working in dangerous conditions, with no one else to turn to. Our Port Chaplains send us stories about the sea men and women they support, and we tailor our help to each and every one of them.
Women make up less than 2% of the global workforce at sea. More visible, one might suppose, as they stand out from the men. But that is not the case. Rather, all too often they live a hidden life, with few or no peers to ‘see’ what is really going on. And when they suffer abuse, that abuse can go unseen.
Sexual harassment and intimidation sit alongside the common stresses of the seafaring life for many women on ships, where they are made to feel unwelcome by some shipboard colleagues or are actively antagonised or targeted with hostility by others.
This publication The Untold Tales of a Sailor at Sea illustrates the first hand experiences of such challenges women and seafarers encounter at sea. The collective voices of worldwide seafarers are heard in this moving publication.
THANK YOU!
On behalf of the worldwide seafarers and crewmember community, we collectively THANK the Mission to Seafarers ongoing dedication and special THANKS to the worldwide Chaplains who support the countless seafarers who dock in the ports of call along the shorelines. Thank you for everything you do! We appreciate your prayers, lending ear, kind heart, helping hands and resources. Thank You to the worldwide sponsors. Your work and dedication is noticed and felt around the world.

Happy National Maritime Day!
National Maritime Day is a time-honored tradition that recognizes one of America's most important industries. Each year, ceremonies and celebrations throughout the country celebrate on May 22nd. The Congress, by joint resolution approved May 20, 1933, has desginated May 22 of each year as National Maritime Day to commemorate the first transoceanic voyage by steamship by the S.S. Savannha. On National Maritime Day, we honor the thousands of dedicated merchant mariners who serve on United States vessels around the world. During times of both peace and war, merchant mariners are always there — stepping up to transport equipment, troops, and goods across the globe to make our country safer and stronger.
World Maritime Day is celebrated and recognized by the UN on September 28th. Thank a seafarer today as they not only make sacrifices but also bring goods to the shores of each continent.

A Special Interview from Australia with L.C.Tang!
The 30 days of anniversary celebration of the e-book to paperback release; from September to October 2022 continues with another interview.

Check out this latest interview with Rita Chapman on October 2, 2022 from Down Under Australia.
WORLD MARITIME DAY
Thank You Worldwide Seafarers!
This year's observance will be celebrated on September 29th, 2022 and its parallel event is expected to be held in South Africa.
World Maritime Day is celebrated annually to provide an opportunity to focus attention on the importance of shipping and other maritime activities and to emphasize a particular aspect of the work of the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
Many people do not realize that more than 80% of the world’s global trade is transported through international shipping. That means that most of the consumer goods that enter business and homes all over the world were shipped to get there. As the most affordable and efficient form of transportation for goods, maritime activity continues to be a vital part of the world’s trade industry.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) began its development in 1948 as a specialized agency of the United Nations. Taking some time to get established, the organization then entered into force on March 17, 1958. At its beginning, the IMO had only 21 member states who took part, which is a large contrast to the present day when it now boasts more than 160 members.
Interviews and Insights into L.C.Tang
Engaging and collaborating with fellow artists, entertainers and authors is always a joy for Lincee Tang. Check out this latest interview with Leon Stevens on September 23rd, 2022 and get a glimpse into the private life and individual behind the pen name L.C.Tang.
Stay tuned for the upcoming interview with SPIDERMAN!

CONVICTION
Do you recall the last time your mind or heart was convicted? What would you do if you were in such a situation where you were desperate to fill your stomach or thirsty for water or in a situation of temptation?
Examples of situations penned do not match up with Christian or some religious values. These tales were purposely included (not all my own personal examples but things I witnessed) to demonstrate that people will always struggle with conviction in their heart and mind as this is human nature.
The protagonist's thoughts of conviction about contraband and some examples of the lifestyle choices in the cruising industry are depicted so that some of the worldwide seafarers would lives would be illustrated. Moreover, such incidents penned would hopefully elicit readers to have a better understanding of what an individual just might do when desparate for food and water.

A special THANKS to all my fellow seafarers and crewmembers from the cruise industry in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland for your support.
GERMANY, AUSTRIA and SWITZERLAND
Thalia is a chain of more than 200 bookshops in Germany (a country with fixed book prices) and subsidiaries in Austria and Switzerland. Thalia, mainly owned by Herder Publishing Group, is a prosperous enterprise which can afford to sustain relatively large, well equipped shops with many books in stock and long opening hours.
The fixed prices for books in Germany give smaller competitors a chance and still Thalia has also adopted single book shops. Moreover, there is support for local businesses in the way that every Thalia chain store has a section for local literature (featuring local history, vernacular etc.), keepsakes and related articles.
The company early on picked up the concept of multichain marketing and therefore taken a stake in an established German online book shop. In 2008 Thalia committed itself to the German e-book market and made a deal with SONY in regards to Sony's e-book reader. The growing demand in e-books convinced Thalia to announce the release of their own device. In the same year the "Oyo" (basically a German version of the 4FFF N618 was launched in cooperation with Medion, a company well known for its previous co-operations with Aldi.
Thank you Thalia for making this book available on your platform.
