Near a Far Sea

What Frances Mayes did for Tuscany, Don Noel has done for Jamaica. Read his funny, charming look at the real Jamaica.

Villa Hikaru

Villa Hikaru, in Treasure Beach, Jamaica -- the origin of many (but not all) of the ideas that evolved into Love's Hurricanes. I no longer own it, but it's still a great vacation rental; click here to learn more.

Love's Hurricanes

My unsold novel: The tensions of love for a parent and for paradise play out as a hurricane strikes. I'd love to have you read the first chapter and give me some feedback

Stories still under way

I'd love to have your input on any of these
