Coming in April: Perilous Shore

Acorn Publishing will release my next book, the second in The Sea Hawkes Chronicles, titled Perilous Shores. Tentative date is 1 April.

Perilous Shores continues the story of Jonas Hawke, now joined by his son, as they navigate the chaotic waters of the American Revolution.
