The Ship’s Carpenter

The Ship’s Carpenter features nautical adventure during the mid-18th-century wars between Great Britain and France. The story unfolds as Abraham, an English shipwright, flees to France to avoid impressment and to find permanent employment. There he meets his French love, Yvette. However with the start of war, he loses both his love and position and returns to England only to be pressed into the navy. Sea battles, dramatic escapes, and heroic and chivalrous deeds follow.

The adventures and trials weave a path from London to France and on to the western colonies as Abraham, Yvette, and a host of historical characters struggle to find a rewarding life amidst the turbulent wars between the contrasting and stratified cultures of their countries. The French warship la Renommée, featured and based upon real events, links all in a world of ardent lovers and adventurous warriors crossing paths in the frigate’s wake.

Captains of the Renown

Captains of the Renown continues the story of Abraham and Yvette, Captain Shirley, and the other characters introduced in the first book of the series.

The Seven Years War rages and the British frigate Renown returns to sea and the many lives she’s ferried turn upside down in this second book of the award-winning series.

Abraham, an English shipwright, and his wife Yvette confront childlessness and poverty in mid-1700s London until help comes from his old friend, Captain Shirley. Unspeakable acts change Shirley’s life and transform Abraham, at a dear cost.

Off the coast of France, Captain Mackenzie sails the frigate Renown into action, but the politics of Lord Fortrose force him into an unbearable assignment. The Siege of Havana tests his skills, but will it vindicate him?

In this compelling story, historical and fictional characters’ morality and villainy collide with the final revelations rocking their destinies.

The book was released April 29, 2021, by FireShip Press in paperback and eBook formats and is currently available for order at Amazon, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, and other online booksellers.
