Havis has been wordsmithing as an attorney for thirty-four years and has been creating in a variety of art forms for as long as he can remember. One day, while he and Alice were walking on the beach in Negril, Jamaica, they began to talk about how awe inspiring the sea was and how much we don't know about the sea's secrets. Alan responded, \"Ah, but the sea knows,\" which formed the genesis of \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eSea Knows\u003c\/i\u003e, which is his debut book.
