About the author
H.S. Contino
8 books20 followersH. S. Contino was first inspired to write in Mrs. Brown's 5th grade class, and she's been plugging away at her keyboard ever since!
In an interview shortly after the publication of her first book, a photographic overview of southern Oregon shipwrecks, Contino stated that she acquired her appreciation for history from her grandfather. She has fond memories of him telling stories related to family genealogy.
A self-proclaimed "nomad," Contino has lived in numerous parts of the country including the desert, the east and west coasts, and the southern states. By living in such different areas, she has gained an appreciation for the diversity of both the people and the land.
Contino's appreciation for variety is evident in her writing, which includes both fiction and non-fiction. She has written about history, pets, and both light-hearted and dark fiction. Her published works include: "Shipwrecks of Coos County" (Arcadia, 2011), "Paw Prints" and "Shorts" (Amazon 2013), "Shipwrecks of Curry County" (Arcadia, 2017), and "Alternatives" (Amazon, 2021).

I have not wanted to put this book down!!! The worlds created by H.S. are fascinating and unique and described so I feel like I'm there with the characters who are lovable in every way possible. I could imagine this story on film!!!
... and my husband, who rarely reads fiction, also could not put it down!

I'm the author of this book, so I've read it several times. I love it, but my review is obviously biased! ;)
