Book excerpt: “An extremely readable and ultimately moving novel” based on the true story of a boatful of Jewish refugees refused entry to Palestine (The New York Times). In October 1940, as the storm clouds of World War II gathered, the SS Atlantic set sail for Palestine. A condemned and overcrowded ship, it was overflowing with bedraggled Jewish refugees who, having bought their way out of Nazi Germany and Austria, hoped to find safety from the concentration camps that had begun to claim their brethren. But they were not destined to find the shelter they sought. In this poignant novel, Hanna Sommerfeld recalls her long-ago voyage on the Atlantic—a journey plagued by epidemics and food shortages that led not to freedom but, improbably, to incarceration in a British penal colony off the eastern coast of Africa. For Hanna, it would also lead to a heartbreaking loss. Weaving Hanna’s current life with her son’s family in Haifa, Israel, with her memories of marriage and her coming-of-age in the jungles of Mauritius, Boat of Stone is a unique Holocaust story that not only reveals a little-known chapter of history, but also introduces one of the most unforgettable characters you are likely to meet: a gritty, humorous, wise, and adventurous woman who refuses to become a victim. It is “a splendid novel” from National Book Award finalist Maureen Earl, author of Gulliver Quick (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Percy, Earl of Stenwick, spent all of his time hiding out in the country pursuing his work as a stone mason. When his father died, leaving everything mortgaged to the hilt, he'd turned his avocation into a job that would feed and clothe his family, and he'd slowly gotten them out of debt. Diana was the daughter of a tradesman and looked down on by most of the ton, but that wasn't the only strike against her. She also had an odd ability to make all the men fall in love with her, which did not endear her to the other women of Society. When Diana's father and Percy's mother decide the two should marry, they realize that they are kindred souls at heart. Will they be able to get beyond their differences to live happily ever after? Or will they always be at each other's throats?

Book excerpt: Can a man be in two places at one time? Three months have passed. Gil is confined to Jason Fairchild’s clinic, his sanity doubted by all but Crazy Ivan, when Feannag appears with Aidan’s seeing stone. Rescued by Ivan, he escapes to the river, the Underwater Bridge, and 9th Century Orkney. All has changed. Burned by the Golden Knight, Cille Aidan and Einar’s Holm are deserted ruins, their people exiled to Floki’s lands on Hrolf’s Isle. Mercenaries roam the islands, seeking rumoured treasure and a stolen royal bride. Hidden on an island across a treacherous tide-race, Janetta is safe. Rachel shelters in a cell beside Aidan’s new church. Percy, Earl’s Cupbearer at Floki’s High Table, never leaves his side. But Danni, Ismail and Hakon, captured in the flight from Caledon and sold to a Norwegian sea-king, are hostages in Norway, awaiting ransom. While Magnus broods on the high price paid for the Warrior’s quest, Floki raises a sea force to win them back. Labouring in Eyolf Grimsson’s shipyard and daring the tide-race in a skiff to meet Janetta, Gil learns both ships and sailing. When Silver Dragon leads Floki’s fleet to Norway, Gil is on the steersman’s bench, Helmsman to the Earl. Arriving, they meet betrayal. The king has sold the hostages to a slave trader, ten days before. Demanding the release of Hakon’s crew, Floki takes the king’s young son hostage to ensure he keeps his word. As the weeping boy is carried to Silver Dragon, Gil swears he will find a better way to live. But can he? So begins a voyage far longer than any imagine. From Norway to the slave markets of Jorvik, on to the pilgrim port of Dofras and beyond to the island fortress of Mont Tombe, where in a tournament melee Gil crosses lances with Jocelyn Guidbairn and finds his father, Lance’lot. But still the sea roads roll on before them, and still Danni is captive ... Come sail the Northlands seas as Odin’s Maiden’s dance and follow Frigga’s spindle South. Come helm a Viking warship with the Warriors of Tir nan Og.

Nor does he have the patience or softness to woo a blushing bride. He needs a woman that can step into the role of wife and fill his obligation for an heir. Lady Elizabeth has been ruined by her father’s gambling debts and is now a lowly laundress. But her fate cannot hide her beauty, her strength, or the lady that still lives within. And while she takes pride in her work, her ability to care for herself in a world that forces women to rely on men, she cannot deny that Callum could help her. Especially when her aunt falls gravely ill. Neither wants love, but nor can they deny the attraction that sparks between them. Will those feelings, forge a bond or break their tentative agreement apart? #Scottish #Historical #Romance #Victorian #Regency
