In 1564, the teenage girl Ellie is given the opportunity to leave her home in France, traveling to the unknown New World of Florida, to serve as the chambermaid of René Laudonnière at the remote outpost Fort Caroline. Ellie must bravely face the mysterious indigenous people of Florida, rebellious French settlers, and violent Spanish soldiers who consider the French Huguenots to be heretics as well as invaders on Spanish property. During her often harrowing adventures, Ellie finds dedication, purpose, faith, and love. This work of fiction is largely based upon the real-life journals of Fort Caroline commander René Laudonnière, and mapmaker and artist Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues. 

Alec DunBarton (aka The Singing Sleuth) and his wife, Paige, didn't expect trouble. They had been instructed to join the Centaurus, currently on its British Isles cruise. The controller disembarked the ship without official leave, and Alec has been asked to audit his books for irregularities. On the second night of the cruise, Vera Blythe, the president of the Greater London Titanic Club, is found dead in her cabin. She wholeheartedly supported the actions of J. Bruce Ismay, the Titanic's infamous chairman of the White Star Line. Since Vera had the tongue of a viper, no one was surprised to learn she was poisoned.

Alec's suspects are Agatha Jensen, an advocate for the Titanic's first officer; Don Wison, who prefers machines to people; Sorcha McCarthy, granddaughter of the housekeeper who had worked for the shipbuilder's family; Neil Shepherd, a mama's boy and Anti-Lordite; Sarah Sinclair, a shy relative of a Carpathia passenger; and Sam Warren, an urbane collector and former treasurer of the Titanic Club.

Join Alec as he learns about the Titanic's ill-fated maiden voyage and the club members who had strong opinions about the ship's memorable heroes and villains.

About the book: Memorial Day weekend at the beach with friends sounds like a great start to Jewel’s summer. Especially now that the friends have a whole new venture to share. Sandy Bottoms Hotel is everything summers on the beach are made of: a pool, beach access, comfortable lounge chairs, and seafood. And if you’re having a wedding at the beach, a seafood buffet is a must! Sophia Island is known for it’s shrimp but plentiful oysters are popular too. Well, that is until... Where did the poison come from? The bride’s family? The groom’s family? Someone wanting to ruin the dreams of hotel ownership for the friends? Questions are far more plentiful than answers as the beach still beckons and the seafood is well, maybe not as appetizing as before. Or are the oysters even to blame?
