[Editor’s Note: Donovan Graham is a recent graduate of Eastern Maine University in Eastport. He is quite ambitious and eager, so we agreed to let him spend this summer working as an intern for the Eastport Sun. His assignment: writing a blog for us. We sent him to Grand Seal Island to delve into a rapidly escalating spat there between the United States and Canada and share his experiences and thoughts here.

Island Wars

Sex, drugs, and lobster fishing — it’s all happening this summer on Grand Seal Island! This fictitious blog by author Michael Evans chronicles the daily exploits of Donovan Graham, a recent college graduate whose first assignment is to cover the escalating border dispute playing out between the United States and Canada on an island off the Mainecoast. Add your own comments to those submitted by Donovan’s spurious online observers, and don’t worry if you miss a few entries — Down East will publish them all in book form this fall, at the end of the series.
