Six More TITANIC-Related Books

NOTE: This post first appeared in the Roswell Daily Record.

April is always the month of the Titanic to me, having had a lifelong fascination with the tragic sinking.

The Second Mrs. Astor: A Heartbreaking Historical Novel of the Titanic by New York Times Best Selling author Sh...

3 Deleted Scenes from Wreck of the Nebula Dream

FROM THE ARCHIVES:

There are a few deleted scenes from WRECK OF THE NEBULA DREAM (which I’ve shared on blog posts here and there over the years and I thought this week would be a good time to dust them off for you again, since the 14th is the 110th anniversary of the Titanic (on which my scifi romance novel is loosely based) striking the iceberg and sinking.
