Welcome Aboard!
I’m excited you’re here! Gather around so we can
chat and we’ll tour the ship in a few minutes. I love visiting the tall ships
when I see them on our travels and my husband humors me as we walk the decks
and visit below. Listen…close your eyes and imagine back 200 years ago on this
very ship. I can almost feel the old crew as they swabbed the deck or forced
their captives to walk the plank. A stroll below deck would make us privy to
their secret chats about women and spoils as they enjoyed their rum from a
handy jug. If we listen closely, we might even hear the tap of a peg leg above
us as a pirate walked the deck at night.
In the photo
above, you can see an orb beneath the bench at the table. I took this picture
when we visited the Star of India in San Diego two years ago. The orb could be
the spirit of a shipmate from years ago who just doesn’t want to leave his
beloved ship. Let’s head back up to the main deck to enjoy the sunshine and
perhaps a bit of rum in a Pina Colada! Because I love ships and castles, I had
to write an historical romance that included all of this and more. I had fun
writing about my characters aboard their ship as they sailed through storms and
lonely nights but there were also a few heated nights in the captain’s cabin!
Grab your copy
of No Turning Back to follow Nathan
as he tracks a killer at sea while Vanessa enjoys her travels to purchase more
Arabians for her stock. She breeds horses and becomes a respected owner of
racers. I let you visit the castle balls and dance with royalty. Enjoy roaming
the pages of my books. I love historical novels and anything to do with English
history, including all those beautiful castles. No Turning Back takes place in
London, 1778. I’m sure I’m not alone in daydreaming what it’d be like to walk
through Hyde Park to be seen by others, ride in a plush carriage on my way to
one of those balls held at an elegant castle and to wear a beautiful gown. Then
there are the pirates and sea adventures with sword fights to win the woman…or
kidnap her!
Yes, it’s all
inside my book. I hope you grab your copy, only $1.99 for the e-format at your
favorite online store and step inside the castles, the carriages or aboard the
ship owned by my hero! *happy sigh* Below is the book trailer and more info is
on the tab for my books. My characters are also reincarnated to the present in
the sequel 200 years later…in Whispers at Ghost Point.
