SAILING SUSPENSE

Carter McDowell is a broken man. Unspoken guilt and grief haunt him as he struggles to get far south of the Bahama Islands before his meager funds run out and he is forced to give up the only worthy thing he has left, his sailboat. Wind Chaser hides all his memories; love, laughter, joy, sorrow, and regret.

Mary Katherine Deano, is a feisty, determined investigative reporter. However, it is a personal tragedy, the mysterious disappearance of her twin that brings her to the islands. 

Thrown together when Carter fishes Kat from the ocean at night far from land, the lives of these two very different people become increasingly entangled as they survive the ocean’s dangers and navigate threats from unexpected sources.

How do you part with a lifetime of memories and treasured possessions, leave the comforts of a home, and wave farewell to family and friends to move aboard a small sailboat for a life on the ocean?

And what if, when the time came, you didn’t want to return?

Twenty-four short stories of ‘changing places’ from land to sea and/or sea to land to inspire and entertain. 

DESTINY'S GOLD - BOOK 1

It is 1820 and a young, female sea captain sets sail aboard the schooner Destiny bound for the sugar plantations of Cuba and then on to the Baltic for iron. Political intrigue and mystery dog the voyage, and those who underestimate the captain’s skill and business acumen do so at their peril.

This is historical, nautical fiction with a fresh new take. Destiny’s Gold author Pamela Grimm has created an indomitable female character and a storyline that keeps you guessing.

DESTINY'S FREEDOM - BOOK 2

Home from a successful trading venture to Cuba and St Petersburg, Captain Jane Thorn is tasked with a coastal trading voyage with a mystery to solve. Just what is the Master of the Osprey up to? Why does the vessel keep disappearing?

The drama and intrigue as Jane unravels the truth places her boat, position, and the Thorn family business in jeopardy. Torn between integrity, ethics, and the safety of her crew and loved ones, once again Jane faces an unexpected challenge.

The Captain Jane Thorn series continues the romance and adventure of 19th century merchant sailing ships. 

Activity and colouring cartoon guide book to plastic and the environment.

‘Cruising cartoonist’ Sarah Steenland and her family sailed from Australia to Asia seeking the pristine tropical islands and crystal-clear water that cruising blogs and magazines portrayed.
