BooksFrom a very young age I have been writing short stories and plays. I started to get more serious about my writing a couple of decades ago, and finally submitted my first novel, The Second Gate, for publication in 2018. Thanks to Dan Thompson at Thunderchild Publishing, whose editing helped me out on some naval details, and cut a few exciting, but unnecessary scenes (watch my blog for these). The second in the series, The Spy of Malta coming in 2020.

What would happen if Napoleon’s admiral had a smart phone? Annette, a spirited student from 21st century Montreal, steps back two hundred years through a time gate to Malta during the French invasion. With a dream to reinvent the critical sea battle between Nelson and Napoleon in Egypt, she must get to Aboukir Bay before her twenty first century hunters can stop this dangerous quest. Sea battles, frigate actions, a slave galley, a ghost ship and a young fanatical Francophone woman trying to change history come together in this adventure story, which plunges three present day history students into the middle of the Napoleonic wars. Is the modern world safe from slips in time that would change our history?
