Cold Play
Jason Davey ran away to sea after the death of his wife, finding work as a contract entertainer aboard the cruise ship Star Sapphire. But when ghosts from his past come aboard as passengers, Jason's routine trip to Alaska becomes anything but relaxing. Jason's wife once worked for eccentric actress Diana Wyndham. And hard-drinking ex-rocker, Rick Redding, once toured with a band Jason has strong ties to. Now Diana occupies one of the ship's luxury suites, and Rick’s in the stateroom next door. Between then, they may know more about Jason's secret past than anyone suspects. Jason narrates his - and the Sapphire's - story with drama, humor, and a touch of the supernatural as he tries to survive a trial by fire and ice on the journey to Juneau, Skagway and Glacier Bay.  Diversion Books ISBN 9781626818880

Persistence of Memory
Charlie Lowe has two obsessions: saving Stoneford Village Green from unscrupulous developers and researching her ancestor, Louis Augustus Duran, whose mysterious origins perplex her. When a freak lightning strike and a rogue computer virus send her back to 1825, Charlie discovers she must persuade a reluctant Sarah Foster to marry Duran, or two centuries of descendants--including herself--will cease to exist. Unfortunately, Louis Duran turns out to be a despicable French count who spends his days impregnating unfortunate housemaids and attempting to invent the first flushing toilet in Hampshire. A hopeless romantic, our heroine does her best to encourage the happiness of those who surround her--but will she be able to mend a matrimonial wrong, restore the Village Green to its rightful owner and conclude the tale in the company of the gentleman with whom she was always meant to be?
