Lots to enjoy about cruising.

Most of my books have required a full year to produce, but I can do it faster if I put my mind to it and avoid being my usual lazy self. Don’t know if you have read my other books (The Evan Ross Series) but if you have you may enjoy knowing a seventh book entitled The Sugar Secret is coming soon. I mention this as I only started writing the book in July and it is already at the third and final draft stage before I give it to my publisher. I started writing and the creative flow simply wouldn’t stop.

Thank you for the kind words. I am glad you enjoy the books!. (less)

He meets Caroline, a young royalist refugee, and saves her from rebel forces. The portrayal of their courtship, marriage, and long years apart during the wars of the late 18th/early 19th centuries is realistic and well written.(less)
