Okay, I have no idea what that means, but I will tell you simply that my wife and I have decided to retire (for the time being, at least) from the murder mystery business. Thanks to all the crew members, staff and management of the River Street Riverboat Company for making the last 14 years very enjoyable for our company.

Thanks, of course, to all the actors and actresses through the years. Some were only in the show for a season or two, but most of the actors were with me for more than 10 years. It’s been a pleasure working with all of them.

Thanks to the audiences over the years for making Murder Afloat a success. The Girl Scouts of America who visited Savannah and made sure that the show was included in their activities were especially loyal.

I haven’t given much thought to what I should do with the website; whether to devote it to a discussion of riverboat mysteries, fiction content, or to turn it into a company where you could order real-life hits on your enemies. I’m not sure of the legalities of that, so if you have any other suggestions please contact us. We’ll still be getting our messages from here. (You can leave comments below.)

A published author with several books to her credit contacted us to provide information about how our cruise worked. Her intention was to have a large part of the story take place during a Murder Afloat cruise. Her main character was to have become involved in a real life historical mystery as a result of the show. The author even traveled up to Savannah to meet with us and take a cruise to experience the show first-hand. This novel has been outlined, but the author has shelved the project for now.

A very successful Hollywood writer/producer contacted us through one of her researchers for information about these types of mystery shows. She was working on a screenplay which would have used a similar cruise as a backdrop for a romantic comedy. This project, likewise was shelved.

Man, this show business stuff is heart-breaking!
