Introduction L. J. Kendall failed to drown on five separate occasions on Sydney's northern beaches. He worked in the IT R&D field while extremely happily married for 30 years to an adventurous mediaeval scholar 22 years his senior until her death in 2014. Nowadays, he spends most of his time writing or learning about writing, publishing, and (book) marketing. And trying not to add to the near-drowning total.
