I had a lot of mysteries unravelled in my experiences at sea when I straddled life as passenger and crewmember for over a decade. I was inspired to write my adventures, romances and share about the hidden truths of the cruise industry. I love to learn new languages, explore new recipes and I am a simple, down to earth, honest gal who loves a humble and caring heart. Please visit my website for more information www.authorlctang.com
