Douglas W. Lipp was born and raised on the South Shore of Long Island. Currently residing in West Islip, N.Y., Douglas is an avid surfer, and often does his writing within steps of the Atlantic Ocean. Much of his childhood was spent on Fire Island, and its random free lifestyle can be found within the pages of Northeast of the Lobster Pot. Watching his two young boys grow into teenagers enabled Douglas to live a second childhood, while writing Northeast of the Lobster Pot for them, enabled Douglas to live a third childhood! Douglas enjoys the always changing weather, the ocean’s water, the turning of the seasons, and blueberry pie!
Truly this was the one and only Blueberry Limited Partnership Incorporated Corporation, and then some, and how! Or, to be more exact, the BLPIC, pronounced BLIC, for the P was silent. BLPIC was short for Blueberry Picking and even shorter for Blueberry Limited Partnership Incorporated Corporation. And every kid in Sailorsville—that’s where we are—spent their childhood there, from the time they pretended to lose their last binky to sometime before their first kiss.
